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 YouTube videos

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.

You have definitely lived up to the words MASTER TECHNICIAN, that was some VALUABLE info right there!

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 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.

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

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.

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.

[aaronunrue]

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!

[richard]

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.

[richard]

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.

[badillofamily]

You should be a mechanic teacher 🙏💪 thanks for all your videos

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!!!

[airborneivan]

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.

[richard]

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.

[mrviqal]

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 👍🏽👍🏽😎😎

[eddiecantu]

Not many good mechanics like you left! Excellent video and great instruction!

[patrickpierre]

The man... love seeing professionals at work.

[Scummy_shovel]

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 👍🏼

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
