im about to do this for the first time tomorrow im pretty mechanically inclined but glad i found a video as detailed as yours so i know what to expect! thanks brother!
Definitely, when it comes to doing things well, there are no words, so all videos of this type should be to the point and without so much talk, excellent video, I congratulate you.
I can't get to the torque convertor books. Have you jacked up the engine to be able to get to the torque convertor books? I did the same, but still couldn't get to them. What's your secret? 😅
@@CarMechaNick thanks man, I'm currently removing the 4.7 v8 engine right now, my problem is the cover on the torque converter bolts is thick aluminum (unlike the 3.7 which is a plate i rhink) that I can't remove, so I can't access the torque converter bolts
You have to loosen motor mount bolts, enough for the engine to lift. Then you use a single post jack on the oil pan. Use a 2x4 or piece of wood between jack stand and pan. Lift the motor enough to remove and the just let it rest on motor mount bolts. I remove the nut so I can just pull the motor out. 🤪 hope that helps! The HEMI is a little more annoying than the 4.7.
@@CarMechaNick some small piece of metal got into the combustion chamber and tapped the head & cracked the piston for cylinder 2. I replaced the piston, rings, rod bearings, decked the head, head gasket & oil pan gasket myself in my driveway. Removing the passenger side engine mount definitely made this job easier. First time doing something this extreme so the feeling i had upon completion was indescribable lmao Took me a total of about 4 days lol i wouldve been done sooner but i had to wait for parts & go to work. Saved myself 4k 🤌🏾

Hell yeah, hope ya gone have any trouble!

Lol I meant don't 😅 🤦
your good how do you get the AC compressor out of your way without taking the lines off an blowing freon everywhere
I just flop it to the side, no need to drain refrigerant or disconnect lines.

Good job man, I just want to ask you if the 3.7 process is the same as the 4.7 Commander? Thanks man
Thanks! 😁 I've done those as well and it's very similar to this one here. 👍

@@CarMechaNicki'll check that out. thank you
How long did this take you? I currently have no compression in cylinder 2 & so i have to replace piston rings. i have to do this, without a lift 😫
Same here for a customer just a cherry picker
Holy shit dude, how’s this job treating you? Not fun I would imagine it’s not a push rod engine so doing it at home sucks that much more.
