Great video for DIY. This is how all repair guide videos should be done! Very imformative, step by step process, w explanation of the tools, and the time saved by avoiding the possible setbacks of taking the wrong steps! Awesome dude... You Rock!
+Mark Mcmann Thanks for the reply. Just giving back to youtube lord knows I've taken more than given back.. I have several other DIY Ram Video's. Some good and some are not so good. LOL.
I'm right there with ya! Gotta an 84 3/4 ton p/u with the 318 bullet proof motor that I'm trying to refurbish. The guts seem to be pretty tight but all the appendages, e.g... the 4 pumps that circulate an engines life sustaining fluids (gas water, oils), have been leaking on the components made with rubber, seals, and gaskets for at least 25 years! What a mess! I'm hoping yer LOL means lots of luck; because I'm not laughing a lot right now covered from head to toe in nasty old grease! It'll be great when I Get -R- Dun and back on the road Ha!
@@mediajunkie2195 did you notice a big performance difference with the new seals? Mine are leaking a bit and besides using a bit more oil I notice it does not accelerate as fast
Captain Obvious - performance issues are separate. This fixes integrity of the engine
@@mediajunkie2195 I would imagine it would perform better becase the spark plugs become fouled up with oil. Every tune up i do I have at least three spark plugs that are wet with oil
you are very professional and the video you made was so clear that even someone Amateur like me learned how to change it
Thanks for commenting
Thank you for this! This is exactly what I was looking for. I'm considering changing my cam to a more aggressive cam and that requires heavier springs but I didn't want to pull the heads if I didn't have to. This video answered the question on that possibility and showed me how. Thanks!
I am in the process of changing the timing set. and certainly more involved than this video reflects. The good news is I am taking segment videos of this as well and will try to put something together hang tight for the front cover work.
Yes sir what an awesome job. As someone else said this is how an information video is done. You are the man
you could also use assembly lube to hold the keepers in place. I small dash of lube inside the keepers will do the trick. I just replaced the valve stem seals on my 06 Dodge Magnum 5.7l without taking the cylinder heads out. Great video and awesome camera work for doing it yourself. 👍
This is a good tip, worked for me perfectly. Thanks!
Mine are leaking my milage is 161000. How long did it take you to do the job, I'm looking at bringing my to my mechanic because I do not have the tools or time. Plus I want the job done right.
Great tips. I got 240K miles on my 2004. Might have to do this some day.
For sure. My 03 5.7 all original hemi is now at 323000 miles. Mother in-law drives it and says it runs perfect.
It’s like watching surgery but for an engine 😳 great job 👌🏼
Anthony_T.V ...funny. I love working with gloves on my hands. Super easy clean up.
Thank you for taking the time to show us how to do this . 🙏🏽 great information 👍🏽✌🏽
Ricky Slatton -Thanks back at cha
You can also use laundry line rope about 25' with the piston down halfway fill the cylinder through the spark plug hole then turn crank to hold the valve caution it will lock because you filled the combustion chamber with the string. With air it is possible to still drop the valve.
Yeap. Air is how we do it in aircraft but obviously engine are opposed so no risk for sure. Thanks for commenting.
Awesome video I'll be replacing my valve seals when I do my cam swap since I'll have the heads off it'll make it easier!
Thanks for commenting
Thanks alot for this video, your awesome!
Brandon Powell You're very welcome
Just had an intake valve spring break on '15 Jeep SRT (134K miles).
Great video!! Thanks for your explanation!!
well maintained
Hey Media Junkie, Great video! My 03 Ram is having the same issues and I suspect its a broken valve spring. We'll see as soon as I remove the valve covers. I was wondering the same thing as M Garage. Can you list the specs for the springs and part numbers for the springs, spring remover tool, and valve stem seals? Thank you!
Awesome wrk awesome vid super !!! Thnx
SRT8/power 6,4 thanks for commenting
Good job you don't great. Press valve how can I found this press
Muy buena la explicación grasias
In the description it says your changed your valve springs for the 6.1 valve springs? Did you notice any difference? (I’m having the same issue, so I’m thinking of doing this as well; but I don’t have an air pump. But aside from this I also have the dreaded 06 HEMI stalling issues which I’m trying to troubleshoot as well.)
Puff of oil twice from exhaust when pulling my boat out. I knew then I should have changed the valve stem seals the first time. Live and learn
I am having the same issue. My truck is burning a lot of oil. I read that it's a piston ring issue. I performed a dry and wet compression test and it was all consistent with really good compression. You are saying it's the bad valve stem seals causing the oil puff smoke from the tail pipe?
Very good video
Very nice comment! Thank you! Not used to good comments
you just could make pressure adapter from aluminum 15mm rod on lathe, i made it on hobby lathe
Makan Tahi good for you but not everyone is a fabricator. relax
Tengo una Dodge Ram 2500 año 2006 y no me bota humo parada ni andando,, solo cuando estoy en cola y voy a arrancar ella bota la humarada, pero hasta alli, andando no hecha humo. Yo quiero hacerle el cambio de las gomas de las valvulas sin desmontar las camaras para ahorrar gasto. pero Todos los mecanicos me dicen que hay que hacerle las guias a las valvulas y sacar las camaras porque ellos no tienen la herramienta especial, y eso no quiero hacerlo porque me dicen que si le hago las guias y asentamientos de valvulas eso aumentaria la compresion a los cilindros y entonces eso me dañaria el motor porque estaria trabajando a mas compresion que la normal para el desgaste de los anillos viejos. usted que opina al respecto?
Hey my friend, don't forget the broken valve seats!
This wasn’t plagued with broken valve seats. So many are though. Feel they drop from overheating which this truck hasn’t had.
Is more than 40psi better or worse? When I compression test the other cylinders, they are making way more compression than 40. Is there a downside to run 130psi? Thank you.
If you are getting only 30 psi on any cylinder you have issues do A wet cylinder test with a tablespoon of oil in the that cylinder and see if it increases if so u need rings If not probably valves or gaskets
Great video 👍
I was holding an iPhone all the while. Surprised it gets any views. Thanks for commenting
Very informative video. I have an 06 commander that puffs a large plume of white smoke on startup and is using about 1-2 quarts of oil between changes.
How did you identify #2 was the culprit?
Conversely I have a pair of hemi heads sitting in my shop that worked just fine before working on another project, could I just machine them and put those on the new engine? They have around 10k miles on them.
Rickey Steinke - I just started video with #2. All seals were changed.
شكرا جزيلا لك شرح واضح
The video is very informative. if i had the tools,following your vid. Im confident that would be successful doing that job. Thanks
i have a 2003 dodge 1500 5.7hemi with possibly broken springs. i also have a 2009 5.7hemi. My question is will 09 heads fit the 03 block
Thanks for commenting. I'm not sure of 03 -09 head interchangeably. I would think a local machine shop could answer that for you. Good luck
So my newly built 5.7 to 392 stroker has been smoking at startup,dark grey bluish,but then goes away, however if I do open it up on the road it'll start smoking for a while and then it will go away... Does that sound like valve seals or valve related or oil control ring?
Great video
Many thanks. Thank you for commenting!
About how much for all the parts? Also anything else I should check while doing this job? I wanna make sure I dont just change the springs and seals for it to be another issue. I have a cylinder 3 misfire changed spark plugs was fine and then came back, also quite a little oil blow by into my air filter. Any suggestions?
Where do they the extractor?
Great video. In your opinion, why do these valve springs break? I drive a 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8. I bought it in March 2016. The car has less than 36k miles. It's very upsetting to have to deal with this already. I didn't know it was the valve spring initially so I changed the spark plugs along with the two oxygen sensors and cylinder 5 kept misfiring. The only hesitation I have to do this concerns rotating the engine to TDC in relation to cylinder 5 and the reasoning behind putting certain about of air in the cylinder. I'm seriously thinking of trading this car. Also, did you remove any fuses related to fuel pressure and starting when doing this job? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
All springs can break regards of the application. i.e.suspension, engine, or other.... Final heat treating during manufacturing process may contribute. I do agree that it seems new style HEMIs single spring design are more prone to breakage though. Have you pulled the valve covers yet for inspection?
No fuel pressure fuses pulled.Just battery ground cable. String in cylinder is another good option for holding valves against the seat to change springs. I like air method better cause I can tell if I have proper tooling alignment to avoid bending valves during compression. It's really not that hard of a job. I still find it hard to believe spring breakage at 36K miles though. Remove valve cover for inspection as your very next step..... I'll PM you with my contact info.
Another possibility for the misfire on cylinder 5 on my car (2012 Dodge Charger SRT8) could be that the valve seat dropped and the piston hammered it. This is probably more likely than the spring breaking. This also is a common problem on the Hemi engines. This is probably the last dodge I'm going to own. I live near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. If you know any mechanic or a DIY who can do this in one day, we can work on the cost. I'm mechanically inclined but I'm not that comfortable in doing this job. Please send me your contact information when you can, thanks.
Dropped valve seats were very common on the early truck HEMI's like mine. I have yet to experience this as mine has never overheated. My machine shop guy tells me dropped valve seats can happen on any aluminum head engines but especially ones that have suffered overheats. Aluminum heads keep him in business.
What is part number of that compression spring tool i want to buy one of that? Thank you.
I got popping at idle and I figured timing so I checked timing w my scan tool and it said cam/crank difference was only 1° so I'm thinking broken spring. How did u know you had a broken valve spring??
almost no idle capability due miss-firing. Barely made it home. Good luck
Great work but i think The most easiest engine cylinder head removing is hemi engine.and you can reuse the same gasket. So i think it will be better to remove it instead of this operation and replace the seals
Fadhel Majeed you can’t reuse head bolts since they’ve already stretched. They simply won’t take the torque yield again. A new set of bolts could be pricey.
Nice video! Was the truck misfiring under load? Was it ticking? Having problems with my truck. No tick but misfiring under load on cylinder 3. Yes, replaced the plugs, injectors and coils. Also what is the torque spec on the rock shaft? Thanks again for this video i will be working on mine soon
Symptoms were rough misfire feel to even no idle at stop light. Required heavy fuel to keep her running. Then violent shaking on acceleration and wondered if I would even make it home.
How can you remove both plugs per cylinder and then introduce 40psi shop air to hold the valve up, Is it not going to leak through the other plug hole
You can't. just pull one and add the air
Wher are you located i need this done on my truck 2006 dodge ram 1500
That tool has vanished, cannot find it anywhere so looking at other brands to find a compact one similar to that one.
Here you go MrWeeby. racetoolsdirect.com/product/late-model-gen-3-hemi-valve-spring-compressor/
Cheaper than I paid for mine as well. Good luck!
Never done anything like this, but when you add air is it connected to a fitting that is threaded into the spark plug? Or is air just being ran into with a hose for reassurance
40 PSI in the cylinder is used to keep valves tight against their seats. Other wise valves can drop down which you don't want.
Alternatively you can fill the cylinder with rope and rotate the engine. Rope will keep the valves seated
Amazing tutorial! Question about the tool...is it necessary? This tool is $150 which seems to make the job a lot easier. But I can also get a $27 GearWrench tool for $27. Any thoughts? Thanks!
mazdalex6 not sure.but I believe the gearwrench spring compressor might be to tall for the truck installation. What vehicle?
Ty
I'm getting 0302 dash code. Is this what I'm in for?
Have to do this on my ‘13 Durango.. do you just torque the rocker shafts Down to spec, or do you need to roll the motor over at all?
Don't turn engine to tighten.... but rather ensure push rods are aligned in the respective rocker arms as you tighten the shafts....Understand? If not PM
Crane Cam tool part number is 99476-1
high horse performance makes it, as well as a couple other places.
What year is this hemi?
Thanks for the video. 2004 dodge ram 1500 hemi 170k miles. random misfire. wont idle just dies. going to pull valve covers and take a look at the springs.
Wants the difference between replacing with stock springs and using 6.1 springs?
Thanks
Sure sounds like broken spring. Especially if it won't idle.
Not sure of the differences of the springs other than my parts guy at the dealer ship says the 6.1 springs are the fix for the early HEMI's.
Media Junkie ok thanks!
hello. I have a 4th gen 2014 dodge ram hemi, can this method be done the same way on mine as your video shows?
Yes
This is great thank you. Im glad I read the comments about rope, as my access to compressed air is not reasonable. Also when you use rope in spark plug hole to fill up cylinder and turn crank once enough rope is in the cylinder to compress the rope into the valves, do you have to this 16times?
nicole wiedig - nope. With rocker shafts removed, springs keep valves closed so turning engine over into rope lock is done 8 rotations
@@mediajunkie2195 Great thank you. I've been studying this all night, watching hours of videos and reading conflicting information, of course...lol. Just finished your video for the 3d time as its been the most straight forward. At the end you stated that you cant stress enough to but rocker arm on first to make sure rods are lined up. However I thought they were to be taken off 1st, with coils and plugs. So why take them off, if they need to be on 1st? That confused me.
@@mediajunkie2195 Also I read that you should take the piston to bottom dead center, before filling cylinder with rope> wouldn't it be easier to bring it up half way at least, so you are not filling it with 50ft of rope?
@@mediajunkie2195 And should I do all intake first, then do all exhaust? Or do them simultaneously? I learn best by having my head under the hood. Learning all of this with a variety of lingo and different names for the same part and looking at diagrams, and those other really bad videos has been exhausting. I thought buying my 04 1500 5.7 SLT
( in Feb with 128k miles for 2k) would be the easiest engine to work on, as it only needed a tune up, but then I nudged a brake line.. and you know the rest...lol... Its a pain in the ass. I rebuilt my 02 Volvo S60 turbo, and had no experience and no issues at all. That's a car that makes sense. Everything is 10mm..lol
@@lambfur64 - filling the entire cylinder with rope would be a pita. I like you idea better (25 ft rope :)).
Know I have no experience other than using compressed air. Good luck
Im looking for this exact Tool ..where did you get it Sir?
Hi Gregory, Sorry but actual tool as shown in mu video is no longer available. (Other than my garage). There are some great alternatives. At least I'm told that is. Have you tried powerhouse products?? www.powerhouseproducts.com/valve-spring-compressor-tool-for-dodge-5-7l-6-4l.html
I have a 2005 5.7 with 86K, so far so good. Problems I have had so far were u-joint replacement and lower ball joint failure, O2 sensor failure (P0132). What Brand of springs did you replace the OEM springs with? One other video he used "Trick Flo Specialties" springs. thanks, ks
The first video is where I broke a factory spring at 275K miles. The second video was to replace the valve stem seals for burning oil.
I needed the truck back on the road quickly so I opted for the "Trick Flo Specialties" springs which were in stock at Summit racing an hour from my home.
If I had to do it again I would use the Mopar 6.1 exhaust springs for all 16.
Same price as the Trick Flo's. Use p/n 0503 7477 AD
Cover is off all spring are moving except one on the exhaust side seem to be stuck open but trying to move now what to do
All springs moving as in during engine rotation? Or do you mean “moving” as in loose?
Are the valve stem seals the reason my spark plugs are getting wet of oil that they might be broken?
Pedro Vargas - any blue smoke coming from your exhaust pipe? How many miles?
Will a bad seat case a small difficulty starting on first cold start of the day and then be fine after it's been run?
The Jack of All Trades - Dropped valve seat would be noticeable under all conditions including start.
Thanks a million very helpful info
Glad it was helpful.
Nice video, well explained. Do you have a part # on the air pressure regulator or where can I get it from. Doesit go directly on the air hose from the compressor? thanks
No I don't have a part number but if your in the USA you can go to any home improvement store or Northern Tool for one.
As an alternative fill combustion chamber with rope and rotate the engine to keep the valves closed.
Ok, thanks so much. I have an '04 2drs 4x4 same color as yours with a 5.7 Hemi. I've been watching the videos to learn more cause it has 224k miles and I'm thinking of rebuilding it.
Is your 5.7 Hemi giving you any troubles? Though about rebuilding mine but not worth the money. My truck has 304K and runs great. I'm just going to nurse it along until it becomes a money pit and then I'll bury it. Of course I said that over two years ago.
How have the springs worked out for you? Can I get the Spring number?
Thanks. Great job...how did you diagnose. Would this issue throw a p0174 code? I have a 16 with under 50k on it!..
16 model with 50K miles? Sorry but this video was on a 2003 5.7 HEMI. First year. The 2003-2004's had this problem. Not sure how to diagnose P0174 on a decade + newer model. They've become so reliable theses days. Hopeful yous is something easy. Good luck.
BTW this 2003 is owned by my mother in laws friend. Still on the road with 391,000 miles. I just spoke to him last year and he says it still runs perfect.
Crane Cams discontinued the tool in this video, but we offer an even better version available here! - racetoolsdirect.com/product/hemi-spring-tool/
Omggg I wish you could work on my charger it's knocking when you first start it....but quotes down when warmed up my cylinder 8 has 60 lbs of pressure....it cuts off on me....why is that?
....mmmm chocolate.
Why would you need to be doing this? The Valve Stem Seals? What Symptoms were you having? 🤔🤔
Blue smoke from exhaust during acceleration
What is the model number of the tool spring valve compressor

So if you do unseat the valve in this process how do you reseat it just by pushing it back up into place ? Thanks
Easy to re-seat so long as pistons are at top dead center. Valves can’t go far.
@@mediajunkie2195 did this job now have a rough idle and it’s sputtering when you drive it ever had this happen after this procedure?
@@brendanchambers2794 - So if all you did was change valve stem seals and now its miss firing I would concentrate on ignition issue such as crossed wire of such. Otherwise retrace your work. Goodluck
I want to go in my valve cover on the right side cylinder 5 is misfiring no engine noise no smoke just misfiring when you give it to much gas or upon engine load. The code is p0305 I don't have air compressor and don't know much about Tdc!! Should I remove the cover the too see what is going on? Dealership want 550 to go in
Absolutely remove the valve cover and 8 of the spark plugs. Not hard at all. This way you find a broken spring or worse you haven't spent any money. Remember, Dropped valve seats are also very common on early HEMI's. You can use a harbor freight borescope to identify if you have a good engine or not. Inspect the springs and if one is broken you can use rope to hold valves in place. Google it. Good luck
#5 intake spring is up cranked over the motor is springs are moving except #5 on intake it look like it's trying to move
I got a 2020 warlock (4th gen classic) always changed oil at 3 to 3,500 miles, runs great, but if it sits for 48 hrs or more it'll smoke on startup(no not normal condensation) you can smell horrible oil smell for a few seconds, she's got 48k on it now I bought it with 16k miles. Seems to be getting more frequent especially in colder weather. My gut telling me I have valve seal issue. Any thoughts?
Wow. 48,000 miles and valve seal leakage? Wondering if oil breather issues. Unfamiliar with what a Warlock is
@Media Junkie yeah it does suck, the warlock is mainly an appearance package, looks similar to the 4th gen rebel
@@njdan301 Have you pulled the spark plugs to identify which cylinder is the culprit?
My 2003 HEMI had two dark oily plugs.
If you are removing both rockers, you really do not need to set and cylinders to T.D.C. Compressed air will put it where she wants to.
True however having piston at top dead center keeps the valve from dropping down into the cylinder should something go wrong.
Compressed air approach didn't work out very well for me. I had hard time just to twist the valve holder adaptor into spark plug hole securely. I just turned the crankshaft and used a borescope to watch the valve rise until it stopped rising. Worked well for me.
Ying, another trick is to put rope in the open spark plug hole. Then by hand rotate engine to push the piston into the rope, then into the head. Not best way but works
I'm thinking about doing this job relatively soon, replacing all the springs and pushrods with 6.1 parts in my 5.7. Aside from the springs and rods, what other parts will I need? Can I use the existing retainers and keepers with the new springs, assuming they're in good condition? I will however be replacing the seals with the same ones you used.
Valve cover gasket kit might be good to have ready should yours be toast.
Extra keepers might also be good to have should you launch one or more. Otherwise nothing else that I can think of other than oil and filter.
I wouldn't do the 6.1 rods. Their ends are different and you won't gain anything unless you're throwing a cam inside.
Kyle Rogers-Hofbauer yup. reuse retainers and keepers. new seals, springs and pushrods. also have you addressed the crappy timing chain and tensioner? mine was shot.
@@mediajunkie2195 do you have a vid on that
@@egrayy9500 - on what?
What size tool did you use for adding air into the cylinder?
a compression tester hose with the valve stem removed. As an option you can also use rope. "Google rope in cylinders to keep valves closed".
I have a light tick, in my 5.7 Durango Hemi. You can only hear it with the windows up. When you accelerate the gas, the tick goes away. Only when it is in idle with the windows up. Can it be a lifter or stem seal or broken valve spring?
Nah, Tick from valve train is normal for these engines. It's the famous Hemi Tick.
Broken Valve spring would render the vehicle un-drivable.
What would the reason to change Stem Seals? I know there was a broken spring.
+Rafael Gonzalez if the valve guide seals are leaking then oil burning when siting are the symptoms. Mine didn't require change out until 300K miles.
I'm at about 204,387 miles now. My Durango does burn oil. Going to change them out asap. Your video is very informational. I also learn the Hemi motors are pretty simple to fix.
Will be sure to share my video when I do this.
Rafael Gonzalez
Mine has 136k miles on it seal leaks. 86k needed manifold bolts replaced. Not been impressed with hemi.
I wasn't either but I guess I got a good one. She has 360000 miles now and still runs new
Where did you find that valve spring compression tool at?
I just have a basic one and it is a pain
What engine oil do you use in your Hemi ???. Did you ever have any valve seat problems??
Mobile 1 for oil. No dropped valve seats. I hear over heating is the root cause.
Did u have to use the push rod retainer tool for the intake side rocker arms assembly?
Nope. Hard to line up though
Media Junkie ok thanks, so it's not impossible then, it just seems like it. Lol thanks.
Can I buy the Crane Cam Value Spring 99476-1 removal tool from you? Can't find to buy this anywhere.
You don't want mine as it cost twice the amount. Order one from here. www.highhorseperformance.com/Hemi_Valve_Spring_Tool_SAHVST_p/sahvst.htm Thanks
How did u know the seal was bad was it throwin a code
JT 1200 - no code. Oil burning smell from exhaust noted during off idle acceleration. Light blue smoke from tail pipe during acceleration.
How much would a fixs like this be

Good video! I have a 2003 Dodge RAM 1500 5.7 Hemi. Engine shuts down on the road. Couldn't start anymore. If I keep gas pedal down, it would kind of run but very rough and once I let my foot go, it dies. So I opened the valve cover on both sides but didn't see any broken springs. Now I'm not sure what's causing the problem. Any advice?
Hard to say but I would ensure you have a good engine first. Run a compression test. If compression test is good you might want to look inside of cylinders with a bore-scope. Common to 2003's are valve seats dropping. Hopefully for your sake its something simple. Also run a fuel pressure test. How many miles? Any codes stored in eco? Timing chain jumped?
It has about 160k miles. I did fuel pressure and seems that it has around 45 psi. Before it died, occasionally the fuel gauge would drop to zero (empty) but it never caused any issue. Yet to do compression test and other things you suggested. Thanks for your reply!
It has a P0441. How do I do compression Test in its current state? Should I can go ahead and replace the springs? They look fine so I'm not sure if it'll make any difference. Either way, after I put everything back together, i can't get the car running to do compression Test, can I?
Yes you can do the compression test in current state. In-Fact I recommend it. See video on my Son's truck. In the beginning I perform the test. ruclips.net/video/bkJIrHp83S4/видео.html. For the HEMI simply pull one spark plug per cylinder. Run the compression test and visually watch the valves move up and down while performing. With the valve covers off your able to check for things like sticking valves, broken springs, Broken rocker arms etc. All while performing the compression test. Remember to continue to spin engine with starter until compression tester quits climbing for each and every cylinder. Once your convinced your engine is repairable I would question your P0441 Emission OBD code. It could be as simple as a stuck evaprotive control solenoid in the open position. Look up fuel trim videos and how to troubleshoot like problems such as yours using a live monitoring tool. But still do the compression test just so you know your engine is good or bad before wasting to much time on anything else. Good luck
I really appreciate your detailed response! Good gem of guidance I can follow. Also I just inspected all the rocker arms and found the one for the #4 exhaust on the driver side (bottom, all the way inside) is loose. I guess that must the be problem. I will now follow that direction. I will surely appreciate any additional help.
How do you know win the spring is top dead center
You mean the piston? Use a small long screw driver or maybe a cut up coat hanger. Insert into cylinder where spark plug was removed. Rotate engine. The screwdriver will be forced upward. Stop once at the top.
Media Junkie thank you and yes sir I didn’t mean spring typing to fast I need to install these spring on my car and stop running I have a 268 cam car but I have no peddle response do you know anything I could do to get it back everything else is good but that
Doing this job tomorrow. How are you charging your cylinder to 40psi?
Air from my compressor. Alternatively you can use rope in spark plug hole to fill up cylinder. Simply turn crank once enough rope is in the cylinder to compress the rope into the valves.
@@mediajunkie2195 how do you hook the compressor to the compression tester for charging or did you make something?
No I took the valve core out of the hose for my Mac tools compression tester. My air hose uses the same quick connect fitting as the compression tester hose. Understand? I did this job again on a friends but used rope and just as easy
Starting at 9:30 I show a close up of hose
@@mediajunkie2195 ok I follow you now. Thank you for the reply and the video.
How did u Kno it was a spring looks like an ez fix u did it one handed
jack T check my first video when the spring actually broke. Almost didn't make it home. How many miles and what year is your HEMI?
ruclips.net/video/ImaXqamd8r0/видео.html
I explained the symptoms in detail at 5:50
My 06 dodge magnum rt blows smoke upon start up and upon take off from stand still
is there a part number on the tool you can provide?
how do i know when to change this seals?
When blue puffs of smoke emit from exhaust or burning oil smell throttle ups from idle.
Always change them when you pull springs, easy and cheap
what went wrong because of not changing vaive seals
Blue smoke from exhaust after idle periods which developed about 5000 'miles later.
thank you
i think i have the same symptoms on my 03 hemi ram. smoke after idle. it has almost 200k now and i overheated it a few times when the radiator went bad and the waterpump. so you suggest to do the valve seals and any other parts too? maybe springs while i'm in there or leave them stock?
If your 03 overheated then your at risk for dropped valve seats. You can replace the seals but be advised that the first hemis were prone to dropped seats. I hear mostly from overheats.
To hard for me to do. i had mine rebuild around 100k. Did it again now at 130k. i have about 30k on rebuild. but i have like 4 codes trottle body crap etc. engine cant idle. im done throwing money. and done with Dodge. if anyone wants my headache make me offer. 2003 quad cab 5.7 located Hemet, riverside CA area.
We're did u order ur springs at ?? I'm wanting get same ones and go ahead and fix my dodge 2004 ram 2500 before it breaks any springs and does major damage ...were u order ur seat seals also
I used trick flow specialties purchased from summit racing. Crower part number 68435-16 is available from summit racing for $171. The seals are fel-pro and readily available at most corner auto parts stores. Your smart. Don’t forget to look at my timing chain video.
Media Junkie thanks i appreciate it when spring hits im gonna go ahead and replace em to avoid dropping a valve and destroying motor as mine only has 100k like it have a long life...appreciate that i sure will check out that video ...ill probally do that as well seems be only couple real issues with these hemi motors...hey also whats ur fuel mileage cause mine is crap 10 city about 14 highway i knew be bad was hoping atleast 16 to 18 on highway ...maybe 13 city
Also is the part number u gave me trick flow springs specialties cause says crower and i wanna use same as u put in trick flow ...it suggest also the crowler retainers did u get them ...does the 171.00 include all springs required to do entire motor...i appreciate all the help sorry took so long get back with yah
No sludge but plenty of varnish...
Shorty Medlock For sure lots of oil varnish discoloration. Truck has 346000 miles on her now and runs great.
Well that explains that!
Turn off MDS
Use a 180 degree thermostat
Make sure you keep an eye on your water temp, the cooling fans fail on these cars and overheating will cause the valve seat to drop. It almost happened to me, luckily I have an OBD monitor that shows the water temp and noticed the temp creeping up to 215 degrees.
Also, i know this frowned upon by try not to turn off the engine while getting gas. Dropped valve seats happens mostly after starting the engine after getting gas
Ooooo its a stick thats y it lasted so long
JT 1200 - do the automatics fail earlier?
Has the nag1 Mercedes Transmission in it rated for a lot of horsepower there has a problem I think with vibrations should be recalled either in the torque converter or the valve body but it's known now that along with them dropped valve seats other than that used to love mine
Need some help I'm getting a vibration when my 5.7 MDS system comes on and when I'm stopping if I put it in autostick it goes away anyone know anything about it really need some help
Pop off the rocker box cover and possibly the heads, the MDS sensor is right in there.
...so this is why it's so expensive for my truck
Ninja Man - Share please. What happened?
@@mediajunkie2195 I have the 06 with the 5.7, at about 160k miles. Im the second owner and picked it up at 120k. From what mechanics tell me through hearing the motor, I need valve/lifter work done. It dosent sound like a hard knocking but more like taping the head of a nail on a table. The quoted me 1500 to 3 to get it done and from this video I can kinda see why. Not sure what to do with the truck as its time left is littlerally ticking away
Ninja Man sorry to hear. Were they specific such as dropped valve seat? Or perhaps a broken valve spring such as this video demonstrates?
2006 was a good year for Dodge Rams. However If your engine has dropped a valve seat things can get real ugly real quick. Have they Borescope inspected each cylinder to ensure it’s fixable? Nothing worse than a bill from a shop and a trashed engine.
do you want to sell your tool?

Do valve seals cause blue smoke when the engine has been idling?
iVlogBuzz YES
Check your EGR Valve
My HEMI didn't have an EGR Valve. Maybe cause its a 2500 with manual trans.
My understanding all vehicles made from around the mid 90's have an EGR system of some sort.
Keven, My EGR valve is closed (on purpose) so no exhaust gas enters the combustion process, just fresh air.
