Just finished both head gaskets on my new to me..2013 challenger 3.6 l pentastar...took my time ..job went well..back together and running great...heads milled .010.new head bolts. installed valve seal's myself as well..... everything checked out good.. rockers and lifters...all in good shape..new water pump.. installed.. Timming chains and sprockets looked good..guilds and rails all ok...no check engine lights on after unhooking battery...a successful job was not easy..or extremely difficult..just time consuming..a bit stressful at time's...if you're not experienced in doing something like this and confident in your ability..I would not attempt it....

wonderful and very use full video buddy keep it up. i love to hear the sound of the enigine with one single crank that shown you know how to time the engine on spot.
Great video. Only things I want to point out is it's best to put it in time before you remove the chains. And I purchased the tools to hold the cams. Great video however
Amazing thank you sir!!!! You rock for showing us….really helps us right-to-self-repair people….the short cut is easy to follow because you’re to the point and show good shots. You for sure should have more subs, keep going!!!!
You said that the engine had knocking. I assume that you meant ticking from the failed needle bearings in the rocker arms. Not knocking like from low octane fuel correct? Great video and details. Thank You!
What a great video. I've never done work like this inside the engine itself, but this video is so good, I'm temped to try it. I currently have a timing chain slap and no one local willing to do the work... except for a terrible dealer with a 1 month scheduling lead time. Thanks for the info. I'll let you know if I attempt it.

Thank you for watching and I do appreciate your comment. Plz keep me in the loop of how it went and don't hesitate to ask questions it you need to.
@@a2zautomasters862 I'm nervous about it, not gonna lie. I think there are several tools I'm going to have to buy, like a small torque wrench and possibly the timing lock blocks to hold the cams in place, but I think I might still come out ahead. Another thing I'm not sure about is if I should tear it down and try to find the specific problem, or just replace all of the timing parts, since I'm going to have it torn down already.
@@a2zautomasters862 Just ordered $1k worth of parts. I’m going to replace timing chains, guides, tensioners, tensioner arms, front cover assembly, and water pump. I also bought the cam lock tool kit. I have a mechanic friend helping.
I’m installing a new right bank chain but the old one was removed before the motor was put to TDC. Can I remove the right side cam shafts and safely rotate the crank clockwise until I get to TDC? Then line up all the timing marks? Thanks for the video.
Hopefully you get this. Message I replaced all lifters.All rockers look perfect.I found one defective rocker.Arm reassembled still had a tick.Took it back apart, double checked.Every single thing Nothing looks defective. Feels fine. Still have a pretty good tick. Seems to be coming from exhaust manifold area on passenger side using stethoscope. Gets noticeably louder when warmed up. Way louder than what you demonstrated. I thought Thought the second time maybe one of the lifters was defective and stuck. So I even switched out those that I thought might be bad and to no Avail still ticking. Changed oil still ticking. Really don't want to damage my engine, but I know this is not correct and don't have deep pockets to take to dealer. I'm capable of doing things myself.Just don't know what to do at this point Any idea what this might be exhaust gasket? 2014 jku
I have a question, I have a 2015 grand Cherokee with the 3.6 with 43000 miles, upon the last oil change the filter has metal specks in it. My question is that a sign of a failing rollers? No nocking, and no specks of metal in the drain pan. Also I use full synthetic oil.
You think they could make lifters that work .I have a 2.7 2004 searing same problem use the correct oil weight. and change it before or at 2000.miles so the lifters don't get clodged.i think they got an updated designed lifter should have had been recalled.very crapy design on the lifters.i took my valve covers off and the cams have wear scratches on them.i would have changed the chane and water pump and oil pump and oil pan gasket.then tell the owner to change the oil with proper oil weight and 2000 miles cause the lifters can't handle dirty oil they will fail with dirty oil.the junk yard is full of these engines 2.7l also.
You’re absolutely correct. 2.7L are one of the worst engines Chrysler made. I’ve seen a lot of them fail. The metal they’re using I think is the the problem or just a bad design maybe. Thank you for watching. Have a great day.
It really depends on what you need done. That specific car didn’t need timing chain I only did it to show how to change the rocker arms during a timing chain job but just rocker arms can be a lot cheaper if it’s done by it self. The timing chain job itself is rated for 9h for each side multiple that by shop rates. Thank you for watching and I do appreciate your comment.
Hello , have a question, when i turn the crank the two revolutions, is it normal that the tensioners retreat when i appliy the force to turn and they make a sound like the chain is going to skip, wuold it be ok to start it?
Hello, yes it’s normal for the tensioner to do that, since there’s no oil pressure. Just make sure the marking are still lined up. Thank you for watching
I just did mine today and stopped when I saw the tensioners going in and out as I turned the motor over. Is this normal? I see yours did it as well. Also will the timing marks always line back up with the chain and sprockets? Or no because the bottom pully is smaller so the chain marks will move? THANKS!
Yes it's normal for the tensioner to move like that. The timing marks will always move, it might takes 200-300 Revolution to line back up thank you for watching. 🙏🙏
When the dimple mark is @ 9 o’clock, will the key on the crankshaft balancer always be @ 11 o’clock? I put the timing cover back on without checking the 11 o’clock. Thank you 17:44
No. it should be TDC when dimple Aligned and the key @11. Try a full 360 degree spin on the crank and try again. VERY IMPORTANT. Make sure camshafts are removed before you spin the engine with no chain or you risk bending a valve.
@@a2zautomasters862 thanks for replying, a valve might be already bent. I paid someone to do the job and they put the timing off, Im now doing the job myself. I will remove the heads and have them checked but I'll have to put everything in time starting from cero since i can not mark anything.
@@edr4351 wow. Sorry to hear. You don’t need to take the heads off to check for a bend valve. You can remove the camshafts to make sure all valves are closed and do a leak down test to pinpoint what valve and what cyl head got the problem.
Is it really necessary to change the oil pump chains? We are doing the cam, rockers n lifters, but thought about doing timing chains while we are that far in but don't really want to remove the oil pan on this grand Cherokee. Has anyone had any issues with the timing chains on these engines? Good video!
If you’re in there it’s a good idea to. The 3.6 jk I’m timing today actually came in for a broken tensioner for the oil pump chain. Also, check the 4 bolts behind the actuators to make sure they’re not finger tight. All 4 were less then finger tight
Excellent video but would like to have heard knock before repair. And after fix 👊🏻 like was the knock during start up or running ect. Or did you mean tic
Thank you for watching and I do appreciate you comment and feed back. It’s more of a ticking noise actually than a knock and can be heard before and after in my other video from the same car. How to fix Pentastar Engine tick Jeep 3.6L "SHORT CUT" ruclips.net/video/tcIYSm_J0ZU/видео.html
I had someone do my TC cover gasket and they used that snapon wrench reinstalling the TC cover, Valve covers and intake manifold and never used a torque wrench. I wonder why it's leaking more now than before. The plastic intake is 71 inch pounds and valve covers are 106 inch pounds.
It has to be check out again. Something definitely went wrong. Possible causes, gasket moved on installation, RTV wasn’t used on the right areas, damaged front crankshaft seal.
@@a2zautomasters862 I can't take my van back to that dealership they've had it 4 times and 5000.00 in parts and labor. They did a 11 hour job in 4 hours broke parts and super glued them together bent intake brackets replacing the left cylinder head. They did the short cut but charged me full labor for removing the timing chain cover and right valve cover. The van was leaking oil out the cover where they replaced the head. They agreed to do the timing chain cover if I paid for parts 388 and 1 hour labor 170. I see new threebond on top of old so they didn't clean it well plus the mechanic had the pry bar way down in the timing chain cover. Then this morning went out to drive and the van is running rough with a P2305 I guessing something with the coil pack installation. They came apart when the mechanic pulled them out.
Yep dirt in the boot of the coil pack cleaned it up and put a little dielectric grease. I switched 2 and 1 coil packs so I wouldn’t have to take the intake manifold off again. Code cleared it’s self out. Threads in the lower intake look pretty bad and the treads on the studs too. I found some bolts over and some under torqued from that ratchet. I contacted Snapon and the said it could be used to run them down but recommend to finish with a torque wrench. The dealership wants me to bring it back in but I’m afraid to after my dash cam caught the whole repair. Chrysler told me to take it to another dealership but the closest one is 45 minutes away. The other dealership said I might be weeks without the van wile they try to get them to cover the repair.
@@a2zautomasters862 thanks for getting back to me just making sure. just bought 2012 jk throwing code p06DD and p0016. replaced the oil pump and found plastic in the pan from one of the timing guides so was going to replace all the guides and phasers and control valves on that bank while it’s available.
Its fed from the oil pan. In the later part where he explains the timing of the oil pump sprocket, the chain from the pan will sling oil up and onto the timing chains
i ended up getting a misfire code for cylinder 2 and engine started overheating. ( i did not burp it so maybe thats why its overheating?) any suggestions? Also i noticed that the alternator connector isnt locking properly but i will be switching out the connector tomorrow morning. I cleared the code restarted the jeep and it popped up (engine light) and went away 30 seconds later for the same code. Any help would be greatly appreciated
While the car is cold open bleeder screw on top of thermostat housing and refill coolant. Cyl 2 is the first Cyl to the front on the driver side. You will have to remove the intake manifold and check the spark plug and move that IGN coil to Cyl 1 on pass side and reset the code and recheck
@@a2zautomasters862 i took care of the overheating problem. I replaced the spark plug on cylinder 2 and moved the coil pack to a different cylinder. Cleared the code and it went away. Drove around town with no problems and the following day out of curiosity i plugged my superchips back in because i noticed the engine shaking more than usual on a cold start and the code for c2 popped again. No check engine light though
@@jesuscastillo6663 you got a random misfire and misfire Cyl 2. Could be a vacuum leak in the intake system. Also make sure injector # 2 plug is plugged in correctly
Yeah ended up putting it all back together then going top dead center, unassembled again and now installing the new rebuild kit. Will we need to take the cam sprockets off or can we install the new rails after..
my friend a question when I am aligning the chain and everything is aligned, the piston must be on top or it is not necessary while the chain is aligned with the marks?
@@a2zautomasters862 ok, my friend, your video helped me a lot, I put the chains on top and bottom marks, the piston stayed on top (bank 1), and another question, I changed the rocker arms but I don't know why they are loose, that's normal until they take their position??
@@pollitokikiriki9022 if the rocker arms were installed right and the camshaft caps were torque down to 10NM you should be good. The rocker arms gets tighter when the Camshaft Loops turns and push down on them
@@a2zautomasters862 yes I understand what you say but the right side the camshaft remains in the rest position it is easy to change the rockers so when turning a little they are tight but if I return the camshaft to the resting position again they remain loose that I can even remove them with my hand
@@pollitokikiriki9022 that no good. That could be a sign of bend valve. The valve could be bend and stock on a lower position from where it should be. Remove the camshaft and compare the height of all the valves on that bank
Both of these codes are timing codes. For bank1 and bank two both on the B sensor. Meaning, the computer sees wrong timing comparing signals from the crankshaft Po sensor to both cameshafts Po sensors.

Wow dude... Vice grips on the cams hugh... Risky and a great way to get metal shavings in the engine... They make a tool for that specifically to lock the cams together
Yea I know about the tool. The video is for the DIY at home that don’t have a specialty tools for the job. The shaving metal comes out of those worn out rocker arms are a lot more to worry about that shavings from a vice grips. Thank you for watching thou.

Obviously. That’s why I have the other video in the description doing the same job without removing the timing cover. That video was made to show how to do the timing chain also if you have to, but I guess you didn’t get that point.

Does anyone know the size of the timing cover bolt sizes for a 2013 jeep jku 3.6 L penstar? I lost one while doing this job. Thanks in advance!
The best thing to do is call your local dealer with vin# and just order one bolt. You guarantee it the right one.
where does the Penstar timing chain get lubrication from???
Its fed from the oil pan. In the later part where he explains the timing of the oil pump sprocket, the chain from the pan will sling oil up and onto the timing chains
You skipped taking the timing chain off the driver side head. The one thing i needed to see
i ended up getting a misfire code for cylinder 2 and engine started overheating. ( i did not burp it so maybe thats why its overheating?) any suggestions? Also i noticed that the alternator connector isnt locking properly but i will be switching out the connector tomorrow morning. I cleared the code restarted the jeep and it popped up (engine light) and went away 30 seconds later for the same code. Any help would be greatly appreciated
While the car is cold open bleeder screw on top of thermostat housing and refill coolant. Cyl 2 is the first Cyl to the front on the driver side. You will have to remove the intake manifold and check the spark plug and move that IGN coil to Cyl 1 on pass side and reset the code and recheck
@@a2zautomasters862 i took care of the overheating problem. I replaced the spark plug on cylinder 2 and moved the coil pack to a different cylinder. Cleared the code and it went away. Drove around town with no problems and the following day out of curiosity i plugged my superchips back in because i noticed the engine shaking more than usual on a cold start and the code for c2 popped again. No check engine light though
@@a2zautomasters862 check engine light came back on after a few minutes of idling. P0300 and p0302
@@jesuscastillo6663 you got a random misfire and misfire Cyl 2. Could be a vacuum leak in the intake system. Also make sure injector # 2 plug is plugged in correctly
@@a2zautomasters862 would you happen to have a video on how to find a vacuum leak on a jeep jk
Dose that solve the sound of tick
Yes. Plz check out my other Jeep videos before starting this job. Thank you.
Can I spin the crank shaft without timing chains hooked to the cams?
You shouldn’t do that. You risk hitting an open valve with one of the piston. You really have to know the position of every cylinder to do that.
Yeah ended up putting it all back together then going top dead center, unassembled again and now installing the new rebuild kit. Will we need to take the cam sprockets off or can we install the new rails after..
@@jasonjones2871 Yes you should take the sprockets out that’s the right way to make sure the timing marks all line up.
@@jasonjones2871 and just like the video start from the driver side and work your way to the pass side.
my friend a question when I am aligning the chain and everything is aligned, the piston must be on top or it is not necessary while the chain is aligned with the marks?
Yes sir. TDC. Top dead center. When the marks are lined up on the crankshaft it should be TDC then. Thank you for watching.
@@a2zautomasters862 ok, my friend, your video helped me a lot, I put the chains on top and bottom marks, the piston stayed on top (bank 1), and another question, I changed the rocker arms but I don't know why they are loose, that's normal until they take their position??
@@pollitokikiriki9022 if the rocker arms were installed right and the camshaft caps were torque down to 10NM you should be good. The rocker arms gets tighter when the Camshaft Loops turns and push down on them
@@a2zautomasters862 yes I understand what you say but the right side the camshaft remains in the rest position it is easy to change the rockers so when turning a little they are tight but if I return the camshaft to the resting position again they remain loose that I can even remove them with my hand
@@pollitokikiriki9022 that no good. That could be a sign of bend valve. The valve could be bend and stock on a lower position from where it should be. Remove the camshaft and compare the height of all the valves on that bank
So. What was the issue here ?
Main issue was a ticking rocker arm
watching the timing chains made my head hurt
2013 wrangler Sahara unlimited getting codes
P0017
P0019 can you tell me what those codes mean.
Both of these codes are timing codes. For bank1 and bank two both on the B sensor. Meaning, the computer sees wrong timing comparing signals from the crankshaft Po sensor to both cameshafts Po sensors.
What’s the mileage on the truck?
@@a2zautomasters862 199k
@@a2zautomasters862 I have 19900KM on it
So what is your opinion on the problem I am experiencing.
It stalled at A red light,started easy but wouldn’t go back into drive for at least 15 seconds😳It’s been parked for the last week …
@@forfuxakes6814 that’s a bout 129k miles which is not that high but you have to check the timing marks and make sure you have good timing.
Not a great video to follow. Always set engine to TDC before removing anything.
Thank you for the advice. You should start your own RUclips channel and stop watching other ppl work.
Wow dude... Vice grips on the cams hugh... Risky and a great way to get metal shavings in the engine... They make a tool for that specifically to lock the cams together
Yea I know about the tool. The video is for the DIY at home that don’t have a specialty tools for the job. The shaving metal comes out of those worn out rocker arms are a lot more to worry about that shavings from a vice grips. Thank you for watching thou.
@@a2zautomasters862 why not use a wrench on the hex?
@@1550Nanometer because I needed to lock the cams at a very specific spot and the wrench can’t do that without being slightly off and put too much pressure on the chain and guides
@@a2zautomasters862 I gotcha.
I found the tools on Amazon for $25 but this method is helpful for certain people.
Dont think there is enough room in a the junk promaster that I'm working on for this method to work.
Good video, cheers🍻
@@1550Nanometer that should make the job a little bit easier. Good luck and thank you for watching. Cheers 🍻
Are you upselling timing chain to make money???
I don’t understand what do you mean?
Como va puesta la cadena d la bomba de aceite

WASTE OF WORKING TIME , ITS NOT NECESSARY TO OPEN THE FRONT ENIGINE COVER TO REPLACE THE ROCKERS ARMS .
Obviously. That’s why I have the other video in the description doing the same job without removing the timing cover. That video was made to show how to do the timing chain also if you have to, but I guess you didn’t get that point.
