It also helps me to put in practice my english ha ha; fortunately your accent is very clear.

awesome channel!! question rebuilding an 04 5.7 hemi that hydrolocked an bent a rod. piston bores an crank look good, But if i reuse crank an get all new pistons and one rod do i need to have the rotating assembly balanced??

Getting ready to pull my engine out. Where do I connect the chains to lift it out? I need to lift it up first to remove the oil pan. I can’t spin the crank to unbolt the bolts. Think a bearings bad. Cylinder heads are off, I see no damage anywhere so far. Cranks just locked up. Think the oil pump went out

Thanks for all the 5.7 videos. Im planning a motor swap into a wrangler. Im looking to get an 08 or older 5 7 out of a car. Im asuming the heads are bad. Im asuming a droped seat and planning a total rebuild. Is $200-300 to much for a non runner? Any other advise?

Would you happen to know what limited slip differential would be best for a 2006 Chrysler 300C. Because I heard they came with open differential but I’m still learning but I was wondering which one would be best for performance and daily.

what size bolts and length do you need to mount the motor to the stand?

where can I mount the chains too if ive already taken the heads off the engine and need to still pull the motor out of the car?

Do you need to support the transmission when you disconnect it from the motor?

I do miss the, 2006 Chrysler 300C that I had. it was this Grey mixed with a tint of like a green bluish color. it was cool. got it used in, 2009 with less than 40k miles. had 37k on it. paid, 17.5k for it. great deal. friend of mine was the sales manager at the dealership. in, 2008, I had also bought a brand new, 2009 Charger RT. gave my wife the 300C the next year when I got the, 300C. it was my wife's favorite car. unfortunately she passed away in 2013 with our daughter in a car accident. I want to get another 2006 300C again. I think that would make her smile looking down on us.

Hey what is the installation procedure on the bolts that go into the main cap from the side of the block And what are the torque specs?

Hello. I have a DODGE DURANGO 2004 with Hemi 5.7, need a piston replacement. I want to install repair pistons, size 0.50 maybe 0.70 mm. Tell me please, what are the dimensions of the repair pistons.

Great series! love the rebuild😎I have a 06 Dodge Ram mega cab 5.7 and have 160k on it. I’ve seen allot of hype about the dropped valve seats and was wondering what you thought about replacing the heads with heads that have been refurbished with corrected valve seats. Or is this an issue with just overheating and if maintained won’t be an issue🤔 preventative maintenance though cost a bit up front it’s still not as invasive as dropping a cylinder.

@ReignitedAuto

3 жыл бұрын

That's definitely a tough one. In my opinion, yes, I would go with the refurbished heads on a 2006. I would say MOST of the valve seat issues I have seen have been due to overheating. But there are those exceptions where the owners did everything right, but still dropped a seat. Which of course pretty much renders the engine a paperweight.

@@ReignitedAuto thanks for the guidance 😎 I’ll look into getting the heads. There is a company in your state that sells them at a decent $... also a couple of other ? If I may, #1. Would you swap out my old springs for the springs that come with the new heads? #2. Would you replace the old lifters while it’s apart or keep what I have already? #3. I discovered a coolant leak this morning along the plastic side of the radiator. Do you recommend an oem replacement or a new one with non-plastic sides? I travel with this truck from Michigan to Florida 2x a year so I’m not beating on it at all. (My gas mileage is already bad enough😂) thanks again you’re experience is invaluable for me!

I happen to be an engine machinist . the dropped valve seat problem with 03 - 08 5.7 heads mainly occurs in engines that have been badly overheated , but it also sometimes occurs on engines with very high mileage , normally well over 200k . it's not nearly as common as people think , but it happens enough that it would be a good idea to have your heads redone by the time you reach 200k .

Hi I'm a fan of your videos and was hoping to get your opinion/advice. I have a 2014 grand cherokee with the 5.7 engine. It has 120,000 km on it. I am very good about maintenance and change my oil at 5000 km or 90 days ALWAYS. I use penzoil ultra platinum fully synthetic oil. At my last change had a disturbing amount of oil spray visible on the Internal side of my air filter. Myself and the oil change guys all thought PCV valve. So while it didn't appear (or sound) stuck we replaced it. The oil change guy suggested it was "blow by" and was quite common with Chrysler products. This led me to research this on google. It seems more common on diesels, but I have found some mention of "catch cans". I was wondering if you have encountered this "blow by" often on the 5.7 and how concerned I should be. I have read that using a "thicker oil" helped the problem for some other people. I will add that I had recently done a fair amount of mountainous driving during which I often use the paddle shifters to downshift and use "engine brakes" to save my brakes. I'm not thrilled that the problem started at 120,000km (coincidentally the exact milage the warranty runs out). I would appreciate any thoughts/advice you might have. Should I do a compression check?... thanks

@ReignitedAuto

2 жыл бұрын

As you mentioned, the recent high engine braking likely contributed to this issue. The good news is that it's not an indication of imminent failure. There is alwaysgoing to be a certain amount of blow by in any engine, usually it's low enough that most people don't notice it. Unless your engine performance has been directly affected then there's no need to dig deeper on this one, as it was likely a one-off issue due to unique driving conditions.

@@jonh2408 not really, the PCV system is pretty standard, by which I mean that you are going to get oil going through the intake, you don't generally see it come all the way up the air filter, but still I wouldn't worry about it. Alternatively you could add a catch can to it. This has positive and negatives though. On the plus side you can verify just how much oil is accumulating and see if its a normal amount compared to other people, on the negative side its one more maintenance item that you have to monitor and empty at certain intervals.

@ReignitedAuto

Yes and no. You can install a '06 engine in a 2010 and it will run, but you'll be setting codes for the VVT system, since the older style engine does not have that system. If you've got a tuner that can turn off VVT, then it'd probably work ok. But know that a lot of the sensors on the engine changed style, so some of the plugs won't match up either.
