I used to get your RUclips short clips, but they quit for some reason. I really miss those. I am glad I found your channel, again. You are the best!
Stay on top of that my friend, thanks
I have a three degree ( old school ) diploma in Auto Mech. You know how to cut out the nonsense for us DIY guys. I've heard of nightmare processes. At 70 years old this looks like no sweat for me. Great Job and Christian love to you and your efforts to help your fellow man. NICE! Many thanks
Bro, you are my hero!! This side of the engine has fought me every step of the way. That plastic tool that holds the chain slack holder wouldn't stay in place and it kept popping out. Then I found your priceless to me video I did it how you said to do it and made me a little grenade pull and after messing with it for about an hour I got everything to stay loosened up. Then when I was putting it all back together the chain kept slipping on the cam phaser gear. I took the exhaust cam back out three times before everything stayed in place after me keeping my hand on the gear so the chain wouldn't slip.I was ready to cry last night because I thought I was going to have to take the timing cover off until I found your videos. Thank you for taking your time to make them for people like me.
Bro such a pain I had to pay 130 for the aluminum tool because junk plastic one won’t work . I’m just waiting for it but dammm
@@stevepalenicek4690Where did you found the cam lock tool?
@@craigjohnson7840 I know you probably already already got this figured out but just in case you can get the entire kit from amazon for like $25
Just wanted to say Thank you for making this great video! Straight forward and to the point! I Followed it step by step to change out a bad rocker arm and a chewed up cam shaft in my 2015 Jeep Wrangler. Took about 6 hours to do over the weekend. The tick is finally gone! Thank you!
Thats whats up my friend. Please thumbs up the video and sub the channel for me, thanks a lot bud
@@OnlineMechanicTips Done and Done! Do you by chance have a video on a engine oil cooler swap?
@@edventures_4938 You mean the oil filter adapter housing on the top?
@@OnlineMechanicTips yep, that one. I have found a few videos on the swap, but I like your straight forward approach in your videos and was wondering if you had one.
😢😮
Been learning a lot from your videos, really helping me out with my Jeep, so far, I've done timing chain, camshafts (because of tone rings), and will probably have to do phasers (getting the cam sensor intermittent code)
Why thank my guy, I really appreciate that
U r a beautiful man. Thank you so much for your kindness and compassion for other people who want to do it themselves.
Thank you!! You just answered all my questions on my 3.6 grand cherokee motor. You my friend just gained a subscriber.
Thanks for tuning in my guy. I appreciate that
Just watched the other bank side. You the Man!!
@C10fanatic76 Thanks
You have help this disabled poor guy do a head job. Took me 6 months to get done but i got it thanks to you. ❤❤❤
Edit... that sounds bad but you know what I mean. 😅
Lol, I do. Thanks for watching my friend. Do me a favor, please remember to thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks
This video is the best with "cutaway" showing exactly how this critical procedure works! A++ THANK YOU!
Thanks for watching Arthur, please thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks.
Just wanted to thank you. Just finished swapping out all 4 of my cam phasers. I had a few issues. Extremely noisy on start up, sometimes sounded like lifter noise sometimes it sounded loud enough to be a rod knock! I also had intermittent P0349 causing me to have no power. After paying my dealer $700 to swap out the Cam positioning sensor and a valve cover gasket oh and telling them I thought it was a bad cam phaser . It was no better. I ordered the parts re watched your videos on the subject and proceeded to change the phasers and the leaky oil cooler. I have my fingers crossed I fixed the issue. I just know it starts nice and quiet now. Sorry for the long rant but I really wanted to say thank you. I wouldn’t have attempted this repair without the help of your videos. Keep up the good work
Awh my friend thats whats up. Im glad you got er done. Please make sure you thumbs up the vid, thanks again bud for watching.
@@OnlineMechanicTips oh and I almost forgot…. My MPG went up 4 full miles per gallon after finishing the repair!!
That is absolutely the best demonstration on that ratchet tensioner on the internet hands down. 👍👍
Thanks for watching bud..I saw that 600k mile Promaster engine you had over there..That was a lot of miles for that engine..The next high miliage engine I replace I will diss to take a look at those bearings and the internals.
Online Mechanic Tips I’m really impressed with the internals. Journal size was very impressive and important very high miles. I should have done guides and chains and kept going just to see how many miles the rest would have done. I think a million miles was very much possible. It’s 80-85% highway but still very impressed with minimal wear on the rotating assembly.
@@86lowrider wow, ...good stuff..The last high miliage Promaster I worked on, I was not impressed at all by the customers neglect..smh...here: ruclips.net/video/rDPU-Y8ecrE/видео.html
you just saved my butt with that tensioner trick without the tool thanks for the info
I own a 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan. Currently no valve train issues, was just poking around for information and found this video. BRAVO WELL DONE. You speak I’m down to earth style that makes sense and provided ample insight to how to do the job including any minor details that might get overlooked for a first timer. Obviously, you’ve done many of these. Thanks for taking the time to share your expertise.
You just made all those other RUclips videos I watched on this process simple and to the point. I have a bad rocker arm and it rounded my lobe. Just purchased a new exhaust cam and rocker arm and lifter. Will get back to you once it’s completed on the results. Thank you and subbed to you from now on.
Thanks Josh, I appreciate that.
Good evening sir, I’m coming to you today to thank you for your clear and simple explanation for how to do this repair myself, I have been a car enthusiast for all my life. And also couldn’t afford to pay to have my car repaired in a professional repair shop. And definitely didn’t have a car with a warranty. Tonight I started my 2013 s after replacing all rockers and a lifter or 2. No issues car runs like new but I loved learning the inch pounds to foot conversion the most 😉 once again thank you sir God bless
Wow, good for you bud and thanks for watching. Just hope you gave the video a thumbs up and subscribed to the channel, thanks and congrats to you.
Online Mechanic Tips absolutely I did and I will continue to
I want to reach out to this man and say Thankyou So Very much for your videos. Ive watched them very carefully for multiple times for the 3.6 Pentastar Bank2tick in my 2015 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. I love my jeep and I don't have trust in the dealers shops or local shops. Ive successfully completed this job with NO CODES an NO ISSUES. (Subscribed)
No shops where I live will do a rocker arm replacement job. So lucky to have found your video's . I think I can get er done myself with your help. Right on!
What kind of shops are you visiting 🤔
Explains things much better than most channels out there. Thanks
I appreciate that!
Thanks again for the video. Found the issue that I described earlier. The chain on the intake side was actually not stuck. The slack was on the the exhaust side. I took the exhaust cam (with phaser) back off, pulled the slack from the exhaust side, re-aligned my marks, and viola!
Thanks for taking the time to put these videos together and for sharing all your knowledge with us!
This is AMAZING! How does this man not have more subscribers...!?!? Thank you, sir! I greatly appreciate it! I'm going to fix my wife's 2014 Chrysler 200 Touring 3.6L V6 Flex Fuel now!
Had to do the other side today (right side) so I’m glad I have these videos saved from six months ago. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you doing them…
For some reason I couldn’t get the special tool in the right way to release the tension on the chain on this side (I think the guide kept moving on that pin it sits on and I didn’t have anything to stick in there to hold it) so I just did it without it, it wasn’t that bad I just had to be patient and rotate the cams a little bit to my advantage to slide the phasers back on
Thank you so much again
Thank you so much for posting this (and all your Pentastar engine videos) ! My son and I were able to repair his 2015 Jeep Wranger "ticking" problem that had gone on for months. We did have to replace the bank 1 intake cam (badly worn lobe) because of a badly failed rocker arm.
This video made it possible for me to understand how to release the timing chain tension with nothing more than a long thin screwdriver doing what the tension tool does. We also wedged a large flat blade srewdriver between the phaser sprockets, accomplishing the same thing the phaser lock tool does. Of course we marked the timing chain and held the cams with a wrench while loosening and tightening the phaser bolts. Actually a very easy and do-able job, thanks to you!
Words of advise to everyone else....remove the transmission dipstick and move the dipstick tube out of the way by removing the upper hold down bolt and loosing the lower one, then lift the end of the tube out of the transmission. That will give you plenty of room to access the upper PCV bolt. Also, Loosen oil dipstick tube.
Finally remove the fender flare and wheelwell liner as a single unit to gain easy access to the back the valve cover and lower PCV bolt, along with better access to the side of the valve cover. This simple step will make the job SO MUCH EASIER on a Jeep.
Wow, good work my friend. Glad you got er done. And thanks for watching and adding in those extra tips..
Man I’m working on my mothers jeep and I found this video, I wish you made videos on 4 banger Hondas because the way you explain everything is perfect
Thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos. I was able to replace the bad rocker and chewed up cam shaft on my wife’s van because of it.
Very much appreciated
That's what's up an thanks for tuning in
Thank you for the info!! I bought a set of these timing tools for the 3.6 and of course there was no documentation. Unlike yours, my set is the nylon version and they are not marked left or right. But your video helped clear that up for me. Keep up the good work!

Online Mechanic Tips I have put the new cams in and the timing chain back on. Before I had done this i had turned the cams with the grooves up like in the video. I have put it back together with the grooves up but do I now turn the cams back to the original position like they were when I took the cover off?

@@OnlineMechanicTips thanks for coming up to chrisfix level
Thanks for the effort to make these videos - very much appreciated!!! Q : What else during a DIY rocker arm/cam change should I replace while I have the engine apart? eg. PCV valve? VVL Solenoids? Install Oil catch? etc.......My engine is very oily on top of the valve covers by the way @ 105k miles (2020 Jeep JL). Gaskets for sure to change but regarding preventative and items that might as well be replaced while in the engine. Thanks much!!!

I am a new subscriber - I’ve learned so much from your videos 🙌🏻
I’ve followed this video and used the locking tools. Everything has gone well until I’m trying to get the phasers back on the cams. Exhaust goes on fine, intake is barely short to slip back on. I’ve used the tool to confirm the tension is released I just don’t have enough slack to get it back on the cam. I’ve been at this for many days.
800 miles from home and want to button this up and get home 🙏🏻
What kind of car is this and which head you doing?
@@OnlineMechanicTips 2014 Wrangler, bank 2 (driver side)
@@cindirenee My friend on bank 2 if you have that plunger all the way in its home and the grenade pin installed like in the video, you should not have any reason to easily get that phaser on if you following the marks. Im not sure where you getting stuck. Hope you using the wrench to turn (rotate) the cam to where it should be to allow for installation
@@OnlineMechanicTips I am using the tools. The tool also likes to pop out and gets in the way of the intake phaser so I’ve got a 2nd set of hands helping me. I’ll keep trying.
I keep watching your videos and little details give me aha moments so, again, thanks for putting out amazing videos with instructions that are easy to follow 🙌🏻
All 4 cams installed 🙌🏻 someone told me the camshaft brackets need to be “degreed” when torquing…I haven’t heard you mention it so I want to confirm as I’m getting ready to put my Jeep back together.
Dude you’re a lifesaver! Thanks for your video and know-how!
Doing my first engine rebuild on my 3.6 this is an awesome video ive been a subscriber for a while ty man
JT makes this job look like he's eating cereal in the morning or something... real pro!
Thank u so much for this video and thanks for always answering your subscribers.this video is really helpful.pray the most high keep u and your family safe.stay bless..
Thanks for watching my friend, and the kind words.
hey boss im working on bank two as you shown the tentioner colapsing making chain loose well im done with job and now tensioner is still retracted chain still loose how do i get it to Engauge??
It will fully retract once you start it and oil pressure builds. The thinking goes to carry all the chain slack to the tensioner area and the pull the grenade pin
@@OnlineMechanicTips dont mean to take all your time. so there is no granade pins right now yet the ratcheting on tensioner still all the way in by it self so you think i can insert a granade pin on the top hole to get the ratchet to come out so chain gets tight??

Thank you I was waiting for this video since the first time that you talked about this issue with the rocker arms
Thanks for watching my friend. Please thumbs up the video and subscribe if you not already
Hey i just did one of these and now the car wont start. Unlike the video i had both sets of cams exposed. When i torqued one set of cam valves it made everything(the cams) shift on both sides. Did i throw timing off? Do i have to pull the entire cover?
Oh dang. Yea, you now need to verify that both heads cams are timed and that #1 top dead center up
@@OnlineMechanicTips i took the valve cover back off and the teeth are off by a link. Would that cause valve damage
Hey JT, I failed to mark the timing chain links before I took the sprockets off when doing this procedure on the driver side. I did mark the two dots to the first two cam caps at TDC, I can match the cam sprockets to those marks but not to the chain, is there another way to know how the chain should fit?
I'm goint to buy an old Caravan pretty soon. It'll be my first mopar vehicle. The rocker arm issue has been my biggest anxiety about the 3.6 is those failing rocker arms. Now that I know about those tools, I'm not as worried about the job. I just didn't want to get involved with the timing chains and timing cover.
Man u just made my life alot easyier knowing they make this kit.. My boss always wants to fight getting a cam in holding up the phaser with pry bars
The proper tools will make the job pain free..thanks for watching, remember to thumbs upbthe video and subscribe to the channel, thanks
cool! explained clearly not only how but also why!
Thanks for watching my friend. Please like the video and subscribe to the channel for me, thanks
Hey man! You’re videos are awesome! I’m in the middle of a complete rocker/lifter, and bank 2 exhaust cam replacement. I’m stuck on getting the grenade pen seated the hole. I can get it in the hole, but i guess it’s not slipping into the whatever it’s supposed to go into. It doesn’t hold the tensioner back and just slides out. I am using my upholstery removal tool to move the tensioner, but I can never get my grenade pin to get “pinched”. Thanks!
Hello my friend, thanks for watching. Can i first get you to like the video and subscribe to the channel? thanks..Now, im having a hard time making out this question. you have to make sure your pin thin enuff to even be inserted into the tensioner hole. Next, if you have the plunger all the way in, your pin should fall right in..Im not understanding the question
The side pin is what I didn’t know about. I dont understand how it lets the guide fall back further than what I can push it, but imma try it in the morning. I think I owe JT that $20 donation.
Which one is the exhaust camshaft and which is the intake? I'm working on bank 1.

Turns out they're labeled, "RE", etc.
@@OnlineMechanicTips Got a new subscriber! Thanks! Everything just came in, getting ready to tackle this job.
Started up the Durango for the first time today after replacing all lifters, rockers, and 3 of the cams. It seemed like everything was fine until it wasn't. Suddenly the car jumped a little and the check engine light came on. It was doing this exact same thing before my repairs. The car goes into low power mode and it's a lot more difficult to drive.
I opened up the hood and the engine was shaking side to side. 🤔. Any ideas?
Thank you , We like your prescriptive video , How Can you tell when a phaser needs replacing and not the timing elements ?
Best video in this subject..... I've had many of these jobs lately.... I want those aluminum tools...... These plastic suck
lol, those are dealer tools.
Oh I will have me some I will have me some of them things very soon Amazon is bringing me the plastic ones tomorrow morning which the plastic ones do work just fine but I am going to make these jobs worth my money from now on
This is only my fifth or 6th to one of these that I've seen come through and these people after using Google have no problem replacing everything that's in there from the beginning so I'm looking to make it very easy and very smooth to which I already get these done in only a few hours
Thanks, that was great. I was only searching to see if a 2017 3.2 Jeep Grand Cherokee I'm looking at had a timing belt or a chain, but got locked into this. Great stuff.
Great video. Clearly explained, enjoyed listening.
Thanks for the video. The only problem I had was that the cam tool could not free up the chain that much. It barely made it. One guy in the comments said it took him 6 hrs. Well I took like 6 days 2-3 hrs a day. I'd be fired if I was a mechanic. LOL
Lol, hope it all worked out for you my guy
You have helped me out a lot. With this video.
Thanks
Thanks Billy. Please remember to thumbs up the videos and consider subscribing to the channel. Thanks
I just used the hook and guide tool on the tensioner without using the grenade pin I had enough slack to install cam and phasers. The tensioner will loosen if I roll the cam in rotating direction with a wrench after all is torqued to spec. Just wondering is that normal with no oil pressure. After baring the motor over it seems to be tight just wondering if I still have a good tensioner before cranking. Advise is greatly appreciated I usually work on diesels do not know all I should on these motor thanks again
When inserted the plastic tool to push chain tensioner the plastic side of guide rail broke off the tensioner. I used correct part you mentioned. Do i need to replace with a new chain tensioner and tear the whole front of motor apart? Or will it still provide tension on chain with one side of the plastic broke?
After you do this job should you put synthetic oil in the engine after? I just completed a job like this replaced all lifters, rocket arms and camshafts and the valve train is rattling. Everything torqued to specs and in time. No codes.
That's how you do it right 🤜🤛
Thanks for watching bud
Awesome Video! Thanks for the details just finished the bank one Intake camshaft, lifters, and rockers in just a day. had a rocket failure.
Thanks for watching my friend. Please give the video a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel for me, thanks
Im doing the same, my rocker arms are very loose underneath camshaft. How do i get the load on them
OUTSTANDING, your videos really boost my confidence. Thank you.
My friend thanks for watching and being a subscriber..
My son's 2014 Jeep Wrangler Sport had 'the tick'. Coming from driver's side. I have 90s Miatas and do timing belts, etc. on them, but never did more than oil/filter changes on the Jeep. Watched your videos and thought I can handle that and dug in. Sure enough cylinder 4 (if I'm counting them right - middle cylinder on driver's) had both exhaust rockers bad. One was seized up and had eaten away at the cam lobe pretty bad. Replaced the cam and all the rockers/lifters. When I put it back together, I could hear a tick on the passenger side that wasn't noticeable before because the other was so bad. Dug into that and the middle cylinder there (#3?) had one bad rocker on the intake cam, but it hadn't had a chance to do more damage. Got that all straightened out and she's purring like a kitten again. Spent most of Dad's Day on the second go 'round but I'll sleep good tonight. Bought the cheapest oil I could and will put that in in the AM, drive it most of the day, and change it again w/some good stuff. I had that in mind already, but saw your other video about the cam lobe metal loose in the engine.
Can't thank you enough... And, yes, I have subscribed :)
ruclips.net/video/B717ciLYvUM/видео.html
I appreciate how you are quick and thorough to explain and demonstrate the timing chain tensioner with excellent photography! And I appreciate dubbed in music!!
I wonder if there is any update to the Mopar torque procedure (new bolts always of course) of torquing, to 45 Nm then 75 degrees, and then 50 degrees, then loosen everything, and then 45 Nm and 70 degrees and another 70 degrees - all with non-oiled bolts? It goes against everything I know about aluminum seizing on steel to put bolts in dry, and the Mopar torque instructions seem very extreme. Do you know if there has been any update to this procedure? Do you install the head bolts dry?
I meant I appreciate NO dubbed in music!!
Finally got it with a screwdriver.....thank you!
Thank You so much for the video! I want to make sure I can do the same procedure you did for my 2015 Ram Promaster 2500 3.6L V6 Engine?
Do you have to do a cam crank corelation in the the OBD2 ?
Yes, I do every time
Doing this job tomorrow. Thank you for showing the details.
Good luck bud and thanks for watching. remember to thumbs up the video, thanks
Bro got the wrong tool sent u saved my life girl was gonna kill me if not done😂thank u mr moper genius
What order do you torque the bolts, is it Cam Phaser then Cam Bearing Cap or other way around also do you torque with grenade pin in or out?
Usually when I place th cams on the head, I automatically want them locked down securely and torqued to the head. From there I proceed with attaching everything else.
Could that all be done with the camshaft in the car or so you recommend pulling everything out like in the video
It all depends on your motives. What exactly are you doing? Also are you subscribed to the channel?
Great work. Cutaway really helps
Thanks D. Please remember tobthumbs up the vids..thanks
Great video I'm doing a timing chain on a 3.6 my first time should I change the phasers while I'm in there. And with that being said do I need the tensioner tool?
I highly advise having the tools readily available when doing such a job
Best video like Gold! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks William, please remember to thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks
Had a bad intake rocker on cylinder #5 ticking away. On a 2014 jeep 3.6. When i opened it up both oil galley bolts were loose and had almost fallen out by the cam phasers. I replaced the bad rocker and put in a new lifter as well, a whole set wasn't in stock locally. Tic is gone sounds great run smooth, but now it just threw a code p0344 with a traction control skid light, it had no codes before. I checked the voltages 3 of them had 5 volts one was a ground. I replaced the cam sensor but even after clearingthe code it comes right back even before starting. I heard some people say that that is the driver side cam sensor even though it States it's the passenger. Just for kicks to verify i unplugged the driver side and got a different code saying sensor 2 so bank one is correct as the passenger side. But it wont let me clear the new code either say permanent just like the bank 1 issue.
Hey bud, this has to do with timing. Curious if you torqued those cam phasers to specs and even how did they look/feel when you had them off. Those cam phasers can easily cause this problem.
@@OnlineMechanicTipsyep, they felt tight they wernt sloppy like the bad one you showed in the video. I have the p0344 bank one sensor one intermintant. And a traction control light. Doesnt that have to do with the exhaust on the passenger side. Everyonesayingit could be a bad connector since there is a tsb but im getting the correct voltages. Could the loose oil galley bolts of caused it to aclimate differentand now that the pressure it back cause unusual timing, there was metal on the reluctor wheels i wiped off gently with a rag. Thanks for your help
I installed new rocjers and cam phasers on 3.6 2015 Jeep. When I rotate engine by hand there are a couple spots where the exhasut phaser and chain seperate then snap back? Like the chain comes off teh sprocket a bit. Is this a bad tensioner or because there is no oil pressure?
Subcribed and liked the video well detailed video thank you for the walkthrough you are awesome and saved me over a thousand dollars. I have some mechanical experience but never done the job before and this video helped me alot.
Thanks for watching bud and im glad you got er done.
I had a warped head passenger side. Fixed it without any issues. Then found the same issue on the drivers. I popped the head off and got it plained like the passenger. Put it back together and now it throws p0300 and p000c p000d p0018 p0019. The engine fires up then stalls. It finally fires up and runs like an lobed out 350. Did an oil change, checked the all the plugs and all are plugged in. Same cams and phasers. I am stumped..... Did one side and all good did this side and majore issues.
Any info on the 2.0 LTG cam phaser replacement would be appreciated
How can u tell if the phaser is bad while it is still on the chain but with the valve cover off? Do you have a video.

Just changed rocker arms and lifters on my 3.6 2011 caravan. Engine runs fine no mis fire and super quiet. But on hwy it won’t shift to 6th gear and lockup. Where did I go wrong ?
Get the PCM/TCM scanned to see what code was generated.
@@OnlineMechanicTips yes. I am subscribed.
@@annmariejugdeo2802 Get the trans scanned to see why 6th gear inop
@@OnlineMechanicTips complete scan was done by dealer. all codes were cleared but PO394 and PO 349 reappeared.
I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.6L that had a P0302 code. Cylinder 2 did have 50PSI where other cylinders were at 150PSI. I did pull the valve cover and noticed both camshafts were scorned / rounded and need to be replaced without a doubt. Valve Springs are good, not bent or broken. The rocker arms are possibly good, but will replace them anyways. My question is this: Would an engine be a better route or just replace the Camshafts and rocker arms? This is all on the driver side. I’d say to last at least another year or longer if possible?
No my guy, no need to replace the engine for simple problems like this. Curious as to how many miles on this Jeep. Also are you subscribed to the channel?
Your a great micanic, thanks for pointing out everything. I have a ticking in my engine, it's 2014 Town and Country Van. I think it the lifter I scanned the engine and it said cadlic converter need to be replace, and then it said sensor 1 PO 420, bank 1, and sensor bank 2 PO 430 needed to be replaced. When I start it up, I get the lights on the dash to light up like a christmas tree. Speacily when it's cold out and rainy, Not sure what that could be. But it's starting to drive me into det, lol Do you have any idea's???
Hey so im going to do this to my grand caravan. Ive done rocker arms before without having to mess with the cam phasers or timing at all but the grand caravan definitely needs a camshaft replacement as well so I wanted to ask what exactly are you using to mark the timing on the phasers before disassembly? Thanks.
Thats just a perm marker pen junk yards use. I got this from our parts dept. Im not sure where they got ot from. Will you be using the timing chain block kit and all the special tools? You might wanna have that tool kit on stand by. Also are you subscribed to the channel?
@@OnlineMechanicTips just subbed and yeah im gonna order the kit online.
Maaaan your video helped me so much thanks!! . Only issue is they didn't send my cam phaser for the exhaust end.
Well that makes me feel better about my exhaust cam phaser. Idk if they are good or bad. Just figured I'd do it all since it's all torn down
Do you have a Video showing the replacement of a intake cam on bank 1? And can It be done without the timing tools?
What size socket do you need for the Oil Control Valve???
Does the intake side cam phaser suppose to have any movement when installed on camshaft
Hey man. I did this job on my 2019 Durango with the 3.6l vvt. I am now having a low vac and running rick. Took it to a shop they said the timing was off . I checked the timing 3 times and was good. They said they set the timing and it is still doing it.. they are saying a bent valve now.. any advice
Can I remove both heads like this without removing the cover? Using the tools
Yes you can but thats extremely risky
