Why is you rushing a job at a professional place 😩 that’s why Firestone be fucking up my oil change they be to busy recording RUclips videos
Uhmmm, what professional place am I at? For all you no/see I could be doing this in my kitchen. You call a sped up video rushed because you can't grasp what I'm saying or are you just upset with Firestone? You on youtube looking for youtube videos just to ask youtube video makers why are they recording youtube videos????? At least try to make it make sense bruh
😊

Change your own oil then Karen

Had the famous 3.6 tick. I used your videos as a guide and just completed the repairs. Using your rocker arm inspection process I found a bad right exhaust cam, one broken rocker, and one damaged rocker. After viewing your videos I was able to complete the job, no more ticking and the van sounds like new.
I use this van to provide for my family and keeping it running is very essential.
Thank you for your precise and clear instructions you are a god send again thank you and keep up the good work.
Wow, thanks for watching my friend. Hope you gave the video a thumbs up and subscribed to the channel, thanks
A mechanic has got to have the correct tools and knowledge to work on VVT systems, no matter what vehicle it may be. Great Video. Thumbs Up.
I appreciated you showing it with the front cover off so I could see the tensioner. Great video
Thanks for watching
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 an very easy and do-able job, thanks to you!
Words of advise to everyone else.....move 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 out the tube. 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.
Hey Greg, congrats on a successful fix. I'm currently in the middle of this job on my 2015 JK as well. I'm unable to get the tensioner released on the passenger side. I'm curious how you did it without the tool seeing how I broke the plastic one I just ordered. Kinda dead in the water until I can get that tensioner released.
I remember pulling Valve cover off a Chrysler 4cylinder mini van ‘ one intake rocker was laying there ‘ I bought one lifter to replace the one that seemed weaker than the rest and was collapsing. I soaked in oil for and hour and put it in. I got the lifter back in Place and reassembled it ‘. Ran like a Champ after that. Blew my mind!!!
Trick: I work at the dealer too and I’m the main engine tech. Use the tool to compress the tensioner before you remove the phaser, and just leave it in place till your done. The block holds the cams in place for torquing/loosening the phaser bolts, you don’t need a wrench on the cam.
The actual trick, you don’t need the tools, just the block, crack both cam bolts loose, remove the 1 your working on, loosen the other one a few threads and you can just slide the cam phasers all the way off without pressing on the tensioner, just keep the block in place and it’ll rest on the timing cover, and when you go to reinstall, use a wrench to rock the cams back and forth a little to line up the phasers notch on the cam. Doesn’t save much time, but maybe 6 mins? I do this job all day long, everyday lol… I turned about 16-24 hours a day doing these. Each bank pays me 8 hours, 1.5 hours diag, 6.5 for repair.
I’m sure you know the shortcut to replacing the left bank head too, without removing the T/C, pays a good 16 hours and can be back on the road in as little as 5 hours.
lol, yes you guys are doing it over there. At my other shop Brothers Motors we lowered our rate to be cheaper than everybody else and still make a good profit. It works out great. And yes, when the camera off, all short cuts activated. The customer only concern with the end goal of a non-ticking engine.
Where are guys like you two hiding in the real world 🍺 I'm constantly on the hunt for local techs that "get it" and know this stuff and just get it done.
What's the real time I should expect to spend on this job if I want to do it (mostly) right and replace the lifters too? I'm far from being a good car mechanic but I'm willing to try and know my way around using tools. I'd also do plugs, coils and pcv.
What if the timing wasn't lying when the chains popped off now they all out of whack
@@TheMalman6 You better do a full timing job to make sure it's in time.
You have definitely lived up to the words MASTER TECHNICIAN, that was some VALUABLE info right there!
Right 👍🤜🤛
@@thisguysgarage SHAUN IN THE HOUSE!!!
This is one of your best videos. I am still in a learning curve on Phasers and need the confidence and know how your providing to get the job done. Mechanical and valve timing are the most crucial element in an engines overall build. Keep up the great videos.
Thank you for showing so clearly how to do this repair. And thank you for the torque specs. You are a good teacher, thank you!
Thanks for watching bud. Dont forget to thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel. Thanks
I am so glad you are not short cutting this job and your showing us how the special tools are used for the job to get done right.
I have been playing with my 454's for too long i guess. Never ever heard of a Phaser other then Star Trek. Imagine my surprise when our Lexus didn't pass smog. Ok shock gone now. Thank you for the video. Strait to the point and not a half hour of "This is my shop, these are my toys, this is my life". I don't have time to wait. You showed me the basics of what I need to fix. Very much appreciated. You just saved me a couple grand that I didn't have.

Brother, you are a life saver. My wife's Journey had a tick and lost alot of oil due to the oils filter housing going bad. Pulled everything apart and found a bad lobe and rocker. Gotta replace the rocker, lifter and the cam. Your video is a huge help in prepping for this job as it's my first pentastar engine.
Well thanks for watching the vids bud. Remember to thumbs up the vids also an good luck
Your instructional video was worth watching again Maybe I will watch it again tomorrow. You found the culprit making the noise. You solved the diagnostic and found a solution. Great job. . The working hazardous thing is something we are all guilty of.
You should be a mechanic teacher 🙏💪 thanks for all your videos
Ayyyyyeeeee, thanks for watching my friend..
Badillo, Isn’t that exactly what he is with these videos?!? 😂
MY FRIEND THANK YOU FOR THESE VIDEOS YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THE AMOUNT OF HELP YOU HAVE GAVE ME. I tool my valve covers off and checked both sides i realize one of the rocker arms was loose (it had been ticking for about 8 months now) It completely grinded up the lobe on the cam ... I have zero knowledge on working with cars the most i have done was install a cold air intake but thanks to you bro i was able to do it myself 👍🏽👍🏽😎😎
Thats whats up my man, thanks for watching. All I ask is if you would thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks
Online Mechanic Tips i have a question do you have the part number for the Passenger side intake camshaft for2015 v6 charger i think i just ordered the wrong side FML... I ordered the Left side Intake online but i dont think its for the passanger side Part number 0050053826-001
@@mrviqal I can check when I get to the dealer tomorro. They likely will ask me for your VIN tho
Online Mechanic Tips its all good i just checked turns out i did buy the wrong side Lol
Ya know. Just a tip. Prob alot of guys watch your stuff to gain the knowledge to repair themselves. You do a good job showing how to do things but what you lack is the torque specs. You being at a dealer have access to all that info. And your prob like me and already know them by heart. But just throwing that tad bit of info in would prob help a lot of your viewers. Just my two cents
My bad brother. I never noticed you have it in the description. That’s prob even better 👍🏼
And for the record, I think I did this job at the other shop I contract with. I work out of 4 shops, not always at the dealer.
@@OnlineMechanicTips ahh got ya. Regardless I enjoy the content. It’s crazy. I work on crap all day. And then most evenings I set on RUclips and watch other people work on stuff 😂 idk why I enjoy it so much. Guess misery loves company.
Not many good mechanics like you left! Excellent video and great instruction!
Thank u again for the education, i changed out the right intake cam on my wifes van. But i had a hard time getting that cam phaser back on, that tool didnt seem to offer any slack. $500 later it sounds brand new
It's doing the same to me
Great video guy, you are one among many selfless people that teach the rest of us interesting DIY - good karma to you.
Thanks for tuning in Glen
The man... love seeing professionals at work.
Graet video straight to the point very precise,thank you very much.
Your channel is now my Bible 😂
lol, thanks for watching the vids bud..I appreciate that.
😂😂 i felt this
I'm looking to buy a use Promaster. It gets a lot of bad reviews. After watching a of OMT's videos I have a lot less fear of them.
Compared to the MB Sprinter, parts are easily available, way less expensive, lots of help videos and blogs available.
Thanks for the education OMT, knowledge is the cure for fear.
Great job I seen many of these working for Chrysler I like how easy they are in comparison to many euro vehicles
Excellent! Thanks for putting the specs in the description too!
Thank you so much...from Powell River B.C Canada
Good job of showing what the tools for the job do..
Much appreciated. my next endeavor will be my 2009 Silverado 1500
I appreciate this video, I have a Jeep wrangler at my shop with the same problem 💪🏾🤙🏾🔧⚙️
You are an excellent presenter , I understand some frustration with the rushed video but I have worked in yhe business for a long time and it's challenging to video a job when you are trying to make money
Yes, very challenging sometimes but fun..Thanks for watching bud
This guy is good at explaining
Thanks bud
You can't go wrong with this method 🤜🤛
Unless you drop the chain off the crank sprocket. No way I'm doing this without tension on the chain at all times.

Great talking with you! I hope you're making some side monies on these vids. They're saving me and others lots of money and time.
I'll give you a shout when I complete the Journey. THANKS AGAIN💯💯👍🤘🤘✌
O yes, both. 2 side jobs set up for this weekend 3.6 tickers. As for the video revenue, its all about the ads on the vids. If they are watched, thats a good think. Good luck on that Journey bud.

Yeah rich. Too far. lol. How many hours does it take usually to do ? Or book hours ?
This video really well done
Thanks for tuning in Jerry
You really should soak those new lifters in oil overnight before you install them. But hey who am I. Oh yeah a former Ford AND Chrysler Dealership Technician with over 30 years as a professional.😂😂😂😂
You said that as if I would have a problem with it or something. Fact is, you right. It's just that I never do. But that is a good habit to get use to. Oil pressure after starting fairly good/quick tho. That valve train will become lubricated in a matter of seconds. But thanks for the tip
Great video JT.
Thank you, couldn't find any of this info in alldata or shop key pro, but the labor rate reflects using these tools and not pulling timing cover as it specifies.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thanks for watching bud.
Great real talk video. I appreciate you creating it. Cheers!
So spoke with you awhile back, yes im subscribed, trying to get my cam phaser back on, timing chain tool ( for whatever readon ) aint working, you suggested rotating the exhaust cam towards the intake which should work, but its not, chain slips off, im guessing i screwed up some how
Hey so what happened, did you have to remove the timing chain cover?
How did you fixed
So I replace the flex plate on my 012 journey, with the 3.6L V6. I turned the crankshaft counterclockwise to remove the 4 bolts that connect the flexplat to the torque converter. I was told that you should always turn it CW. I hope I didn't brake anything.
The thinking goes, you should rotate the engine the same direction that it runs. But rest assure, you didn't hurt anything bud. I do it from time to time. Thanks for watching. Please thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks
@@OnlineMechanicTips thanks for the reply. Been stressed about it all day. Hopefully i can get everything put together and have it back on the road. Thanks again.
Excellent mechanic.
Thanks for watching my friend.
Just a psa check the two bolts behind the phasers they come loose and bleed oil supply to the lifters and rockers seen it alot ... good video my man

O noooooooo, sorry to hear that bud. Hope its something simple. lol, not even close to IL bud.
It would be cool to talk to you about my 3.6 Dodge Journey instead of tiping all the time you can catch me on messenger if you want and possibly do a video call
Appreciate you for this.
Thanks for watching my friend.
I have done over 50 of these. Your a master! . I think too many miles on the oil, too much idling with worn oil, possibly wore oil pump?.
I change oil every 1k.
Great job man, love your video, I am a tec also, keep up the great jobs.
Thank you you’re a god😊❤
Awesome video, thanks so much
Your videos rock, because of your vids, I tackled this repair myself, all went well with the left side. replacing all 24 rockers. had trouble on the right side, I had the gear lock tool in place and when I broke loose the nut for the oil control valve, the tool popped out. After replacing all the exh. rockers had trouble getting slack in the chain., got the tool in place but there doesn't seem to be enough slack in the chain to get the exh.
gear to slip on the cam. My question is it possible to get the chain out of time on the crank with having a loose chain flopping around up top...... thanks for your help
Depends on if you did one head at a time. Was the other head connected when this happen? Also are you subscribed to the channel?
I did the same thing. The other head was on. What to do in this situation plz reply thanks jt I am subscribe.
GREAT VIDEO REALLY MADETHE JOB EASY
Thanks for watching MJ
EXCELLENT VIDEO
This is my first time replacing a timing chain, on a 2015 malibu so i screwed up big time. i took the spark plugs out and turned the crankshaft a few times around trying to see if the marks lined up. I turned quite a number of revolutions out of stupidity. Then I took the chain off and turned the cam intake sprocket , (not loose from the rocker) around too thinking i could fix the timing by setting the mark at 10 o'clock, so it went freely. Then I tried to pull the exhaust pully also attatched to the the rocker arm. I was so stupid that i thought that rotating one at a time I could set them at 10 o'clock and 2 oclock, which is is the way they are supposed to be. Well, of course the exhaust I pulled with the chain, but when I took the chain off, it pulled right back. So now I know I have to losen the bolts to do it, but how do i start from scratch now? Help please. If you even understand the stupidity I did. Thanks, any help would be appreciated.
Good video 25 year tech and this vid is made by a og tech you can tell
I should not be able to rock the camshaft independently of the phaser, correct? I suspect I have a bank one exhaust phaser that needs replacing because I can put a wrench on the cam and move the cam back and forth easily while the phaser stays solid. I also have a P0340 code, and I presume the variable valve timing has been trying to keep the cam in the right place just through oil pressure rather than a mechanical lock.
Your assumptions are correct my friend. I highly suggest replacing that phaser. In fact, because there is know suggested time interval for phaser replacement, I started suggesting they get replaced at around 100k or when ever you are making a valve train repair. Thanks for watching and being a subscriber.
@@OnlineMechanicTips Thanks, bud, parts are on the way!
Thanks for this. Was wondering about a service interval for replacement. I’m at 152,000 and just now beginning to have issues.
Great video, thanks!
You have a video on replacing the timing chain guide on a 2015 Jeep Patriot limited 2.0 ? . I am doing my daughter’s vehicle, thanks for shearing a great video
Super helpful, thanks.
1 & 7/16 is the socket size you used for the Oil Control Valve in this video.
Yes or either a 36mm. Don't forget to thumbs up the video and subscribe if you not already. Thanks
I might be doing this soon. Can you include links to the special tools in you future videos please.
The first ones are the Rocker Arms/Lifters and the next is the tools used in this video.
I believe the Oil Control Valve Head socket size is 1 1/16.
Excellent video very informative
Great job, can you please tel me what size socket and the part number for the sprocket on the camshaft ( I tried to read the make and part number, I can’t
Are you talking about the oil control valve which doubles as the cam phaser bolt? Also are you subscribed to the channel?
Why not try to move the crank by the cam? Before I saw your video I tried this. Could I have hurt something?
Why not hold the cam without the sprocket tool? That’s how I took the phasers off. Could I have hurt something doing this?
Do you add rtv back the section where the front cover meets the valve cover?
Because thats to much of a load on that chain which could jump if you using the cam to turn the crank. And yes, we use RTV to reseal the cover in the case you mentioned,
GREAT content! Thanks
Great video as always. My question is I don't see this engine lasting 10 yrs or so. One of the things is as this engine get older those timing chain guide will break easy. When you install that special tool since the plastic on that guide will be old is more likely will break the guide in pieces and now you are doing a timing chain guide job. Right now is good because this engine are not that old. I'm talking in the long run.
Awesome video, I’m planning to tackle this using your video next week. By chance do you remember what size is the oil control valve socket?
The problem is on that bank with cover on it will not pass i got the plastic tool you showed on this vid on that right bank
where you get the special tools used? gotta link ?
Fantastic info thanks JT
thanks for watching
D:):)
GOT it... you rock!
do you reapply gasket sealant at the seam of timing cover when you reinstall the valve cover? just curious, seems like the valve cover gasket takes care of any leaks.
Yes I do
Great videos very well explained. My question is I'm replacing a cam on bank 1 of my Chrysler 3.6 due to rocker failure and I'm going to replace every rocker and lash adjuster on that bank. Do I need to bleed the new lash adjusters so they aren't pumped up to much and take a chance of smacking a valve on the piston?
It wouldnt hurt to do that. Do I do it on everyone, no. Do you have the special tools on deck for this job? Also are you subscribed to the channel?
@@OnlineMechanicTips I do not have the tool for bleeding them down but what I have researched is I can take something small like a small allen wrench and poke in there to release the oil. And yes I am subscribed. I plan on taking this job on soon and I learned alot from watching some of your videos very informative.
@@sullivansgarage1326 Hey bud, I was referring to the tools you may need to remove the cams if timing affected. Im not sure how you plan to do it but if timing chain requires removal, you may need the tools to re-install. As for those lash adjusters, I do not have such a tool to bleed those. Ive simply just install them on everyone ive done with no problems at oil. Oil pressure will get to them extremely quickly and they will become fully pumped.
@@OnlineMechanicTips Sorry for the misunderstanding and yes I bought thoes plastic tools for sliding down in there on the guide to push in on the tensioner so the chain will be loose.
One more question I got the cam changed and put back together now I have a small mis fire with p0300 code. Do I have to relearn the cam sensor since I replaced the cam?
Love your work , the vids are great , about to do a head replacement so really informative - thanks - question , are you able to add a list of the part no of the gaskets required to do a head replacement for left and right heads … the mopar parts catalogues are pretty confusing with so many updates and superseded part numbers - I want to have all parts ready to go before I start the disassembly- appreciate an6 assistance your could provide - thanks again for your awesome vids

Hello. Please help is needed I’m not a mechanic just doing my minivan. I did bank 2 as per your instructions on another video( thank YOU) . Now I’m doing bank 1 but I have small problem removing the valve cover. There is only one bolt left at the right upper corner . I’m not sure if it’s a bolt or not but its preventing me from removing the cover. Please note I removed all the 12 bolts except this one.
Hey bud, you have to maneuver the cover in a way to clear the PCV valve..first remove valve then turn cover as in ways to clear for removal
@ online mechanic tips, I know you don't have all the answers especially not being on site but just a quick tip in what should I do. I am a DIY mechanical guy but I possibly ran into some problem with advanced timing p0011 actuator solenoid but of course that is not the actual problem so now I'm digging into my phaser and timing unit I'm searching everything listening for noise a small tick when engine is running but only like the ticking of a solenoid but I don't know if that noise is what causing the check engine light to even be on. After observing my engine the camshaft is not loose or anyting the engine is not dirty I change the oil once a month. The timing is in line with top dead center. The only thing that I don't really understand is the movement of the phasers to see if they're out of line or anyting. Or if they are stuck open or close. I haven't took the timing cover or phaser off yet what do you suggest I start at while I got everything else broken down keep in mind this car has 340000 miles never changed anything just kept the oil change very often
Just bought a 2014 grand caravan 3.6. Was throwing a code P0305 when I bought it. Thought I would get lucky with new plug and coil. No luck. Still throwing the same code. Make a clunking noise. Thought it was just one of the pulleys but local mechanic said no. Pulled the valve cover off of the back and cam lobes all look good. Van runs, just throwing same code and clunking noise. Any advice on how to proceed. Your videos are some of the best I've seen. The cut away really helps. Thanks for taking the time to make these awesome videos.
Just watched your other video. I'll do the "field test" tomorrow. Praying its something up top. Thanks again for the awesome videos.
Hey bud, its past time for a compression test. You have to find out if cyl 5 able to perform as design
@@OnlineMechanicTips Rocker arms look fine and no apparent scoring marks on the cam. Is next step removing the head?
@@pedaldork My friend. You should need a reason to remove the cyl head. This is not a easy job. Verify that the head should have to be removed. Run a compression test, If that cyl low, then yes, theres your need to remove the head. If compression at specs then you should keep looking. Have the cat been replaced on bank 1? Are you sure the injector not causing the misfire, you could easily swap/move over an injector to see if misfire follows.
@@OnlineMechanicTips Would a bad injector cause such a loud knocking noise? (originally was hoping it was a bad pulley). Will do a compression test in the morning. If fails compression, then I'll take it to a garage as anything beyond the valves is beyond my paygrade. Thanks for your help.
I really appreciate this video! I was able to replace the rocker arms and lifters on my 2018 Pacifica. One question hopefully someone can answer. I did not do the rockers and lifters on the intake cams. My engine has the VVL on the intake side. The rockers are expensive! After I finished the exhaust cams and started it up. The tapping sounds is still there! I'm thinking about taking it back down and replacing just the lifters on the exhaust side. I'll inspect the rockers at the same time.
Any other ideas as to where the tapping noise is coming from? Hopefully just a bad lifter.
Hey JT...happy new year....do you have a video on how to do a valve cover gasket on a 2012 dodge charger 3.6...about to do mines .your videos have the best infor...

No

Thanks for watching bud. Remember to thumbs up the vid and sub the channel, thanks
Thanks for this. Just to double double clarify... there is NO pin in the lower tensioner as there is on the Left head, correct? My old cellmate in the dealer days used to do them all under warranty. I never paid attention, I was the electrical guy.
OK, Im not sure which head you calling left. I dont know what kind of car you working on. If you referring to bank 1, NO, there is no grenade pin to install and remove. The guide just may have to be pressed back some, hopefully using the tool..Man, have you sub the channel yet? I see you channeled up, imma have to come over and check you out.

hi great video thank you. so where can i buy the tool for cylinder 1 for the tensioner is it metal i think all i see is plastic.

hi. currently doing this repair on a 2018 grand caravan. bank 1 tensioner seems to be stuck. is there a way to compress the plunger without taking timing cover off?
Are you using the special tool? And are you subscribed to the channel yet?
yes to both. but the tensioner doesn't want to move. tried prying it with a screwdriver. it must have locked all the way out
You cant get to it with a screwdriver..which head you working on? What kind of car is this?
@@OnlineMechanicTips bank 1. closest to the firewall. grand caravan. i tried the tool as well but it just won't budge. already took cam phaser off
@Johann Baldovino So how did you loosen the tensioner? I'm in that position now just stuck.
Just tore down a 19 3.6 with a #4 misfire. Pulled the valve cover and the intake cam lobe looked like I grinded the highest point with a bench grinder. P0304. I'm swapping both cams lifters and rockers. Why are so many of these camshafts getting ground down on?
i have VERY fine flakes of what looks like to be aluminum in oil filter, what would be the cause ?
Hey bud, im just seeing this sorry. Listen, that could be considered good news and bad news. The good new is that your oil filter did its job by filtering the trash from going back into the engine. Now the bad news is that those shavings had to come from somewhere. Could be early signs of cam lobe gring into a rocker arm. Do you have a ticking noise? O, and please Subscribe to the channel for me, thanks
HI, loved both videos. I am changing both intake camshafts on my pentastar 3.6L v6. I changed the back/right side camshaft first. Which means I was TDC on #4 cyclinder. I accidentally left my phaser block in and turned the crankshaft to do the front/left side to bring the #1 cyclinder to TDC. How much damage have I caused and what should I do to fix it? I am at a standstill till I hear from you,
