This is a very well done video. I'm looking on doing a complete rebuild on my engine on this exact car. Is there a complete kit that comes with everything I would need that you can recommend that would make the engine practically new again. Or is it better to just buy a new engine if I want it to have zero miles on it. My goal is to slowly make it like it just came off the line.
Thank you! We used a complete gasket kit, new pistons and new rings. If you have experience rebuilding engines I'd say go for it, if not and you can find a motor for cheap enough then maybe that's better. Thanks for your support!
One hell of a precise video dude. I was told after you change the spark plugs you have to reset the computer. Or can I unhook the battery then change the spark plugs?
Thank you! Technically when working with any electrical component you should disconnect the battery but personally I never have for spark plugs. The computer will be just fine no need for reset. Just pull out the old plugs, verify gap on new ones and install. Hope this helps!
@@bakerRebuilds I have 108k miles right now, having the timing belt and pulleys, water pump and thermostat changed this Thursday, then I'll do the plugs sat...mine is challenger 3.5
I didn't have to take the intake right out...after i undone it, i just propped the front up ... easy to get the plugs out..didn't even have to change the gasket .
i changed my spark plugs about a week ago which i believe caused a vacuum leak error in my car. i was repairing the vacuum leak earlier, and when i put the intake manifold back on and turned the car back on, it revved up to 6k rpm and backfired until i shut it off. any thoughts?
every sensor, tube, hose, bolt, etc was put back in exactly how i took it out so i really am just stumped and i need this car to get to school and work
Unfortunately on this car with the v6 there is no way to remove the coils or spark plugs for about 4 of the cylinders without removing the intake manifold.
Hi I have a 2010 Dodge Charger SXT Omni reader said low voltage and random misfire so I replaced battery then fuel pump vehicle still won’t run starts but cuts off immediately and is draining new battery is this the coils and spark plugs?
I would exchange the misfiring cylinder with a good one to see if it moves. If it moves it's the coil pack if not it's something else. I would also do a compression test to rule out bad rings as cause of misfire.
Working on rebuilding '07 charger and would love to pick your brain if you have the time. Not sure how to send private message but have some serious questions I could use some help with. Thanks in advance.
I can't seem to add a comment except as a reply... I broke off one of the manifold bolts. Can't see how bad it's broken off. Unless I take off the manifold again. I was wondering if it would be ok leaving it out? The bolt that broken is the one closest to #4 cylinder.
@@michaeloliver5190That's weird comments should be on. I'm assuming on the intake manifold, if it starts fine and doesn't throw any codes or run too rich you should be fine. If it's giving you an issue perhaps try some gasket maker or I do have an extra intake manifold I could sell for cheaper than anywhere else. Hope it works out.
@@ModularIsl glad to help no problem! Yeah hopefully that works. If you have the time and an OBD II reader you could swap the misfiring cylinders coil pack with the one next to it and check the codes to see if your misfire moved confirming the bad one. Hope you get it sorted!
@@bakerRebuilds yeah i put in a new coil and plug now the shake at idle is gone, theres no more fuel loss and after clearing the code the misfire is gone! side note my 05 had 2 8mm torx bolts holding the coil down instead of the 1 10mm hex.
Very interested
Thank you for your well invested time in making this video
Thank you!
9:23. Thats exactly why you cover the intake ports. Dude you almost gave me a heart attack. Lol. Helpful video thanks.
LMAO I agree but I knew I was taking everything apart eventually so I didn't. Glad I could help!
@@bakerRebuilds oh sweet. I'll have to check those videos out. Thanks.

Music ruined video
Good video. Do you recall approximately how long this job took from start to finish?
Thank you! Depends on overall experience a bit but probably 2-4 hours most people could do it.
@@bakerRebuilds I appreciate the reply. Keep up the great work.
@John_B52_HEMI Thank you! Good luck on the project!
I just saw your other videos on the engine rebuilds, can't wait to watch those! Thank you so much for the content!
I hope they help! I'm always open if you have any questions.
thanks good video, im fixing to change mine next weekend
Awesome man! When their bad I've noticed a regain of some power in the past. Hope it goes well for you!

I love the body of the Challenger, sounds like your car is well taken care of 👍

Sorry man I'm not sure how changing spark plugs could have done this. Maybe check surround ing components to make sure nothing got knocked or anything
You got a vacume hose off..nothing with the plugs
Do u have to take everything off just to get to coil #4 ?
Unfortunately on this car with the v6 there is no way to remove the coils or spark plugs for about 4 of the cylinders without removing the intake manifold.
Can those coil packs go back to any cylinder?
Yes the coil packs can but don't mismatch any of the plugs or you'll cause a misfire.
The plugs that send signal to the coil packs to clarify.
The plugs(spark plug)
@@MISTAT45 the electric plugs that connect to the coil pack
Great video.. thanks 👍
Thank you Fred! I really appreciate it!!

No worries Jodie! You can message me on Instagram if you want or in the comments is fine. What's goin on?
Is it the same for 2012 hemi? Rt
It's a similar process yes but it will be a bit different.
Haha “if you’ve ever made a mess of tools, smash the LIKE button 👍. I’m sold”
Thank you! Lol
Important: Cover all those intake ports as if you drop a nut into it will be BAD
True. I didn't worry about it simply because I was taking it all apart.
ABSOLUTY CORRECT...DO THAT FIRST!
What size did you use for the spark plugs
5/8th spark plug Socket I believe. The only other size is 13/16ths
I can't seem to add a comment except as a reply... I broke off one of the manifold bolts. Can't see how bad it's broken off. Unless I take off the manifold again. I was wondering if it would be ok leaving it out? The bolt that broken is the one closest to #4 cylinder.

what size is the coil bolt
If I remember right it's 10mm.
@@bakerRebuilds thank you, sir! having a cylinder 2 misfire hoping and praying a coil and plug swap can help it what do you think?

@@ModularIsl congrats, that's awesome!
Sorry couldn’t watch because the creepy music! Thanks for the video
Newer videos are better!
is the intake gasket reusable
I'm assuming the plenum gasket? Personally as long as there's no cracks, splits and it hasn't shrunk I'd use it.
