This repair applies to all Chrysler and Jeep models equipped with the 3.6L V6 Engine. This video is a short cut version to the repair of that engine. actual repair time is about 20h, in this video I will show you a short cut that will shave 8-10h off of that job. I will also be posting the longer version of that repair in another video and you decide which video you want to use.

    Just finished doing the job today! This video was immensely helpful. I was able to create an even shorter shortcut by leaving the cam caps on but fully loose on the bolts and prying accordingly (based on which cam lobe was up or down). Regardless I wouldn't have even tackled this job without this video. Absolutely fantastic. Thank you to the author!

Dealership guys will tell you it cant be done this way. But it can. Just have to be careful. My jeep has 40k on it afyer i did it. Been running great. No more engine ticks! Love me some jeeps!

Engine purred like a kitten until about a month ago and I started noticing the ticking sound (around 63k miles). I've never bought an extended warranty in my life until I bought this Jeep. Thank god I did, gonna be taking it back to the dealership soon and hopefully get it fixed under warranty.

    @@chazzcapone. any ticking or knocking noise coming from inside the engine is not a good thing. It’s a sign of wear. Internal engine components are so precise, minimum tolerance and very very small amount of clearance. That noise usually means those very small gaps are getting bigger and that’s very bad. In this case the rocker arms bearing failed and the camshaft rollers are hitting the rocker arm itself and that could cause a massive internal engine damage. I hope that was helpful. Thank you.

For anyone who is about to do this the first time, go easy with the magnet near the back of the cams where the tone wheels are and buy decent parts, I did have to redo a set that were bought from Amazon because the rockers were made out of spec and kept valves open losing all compression.

However, by mistake I broke the black plastic line the mechanic is holding @15:52 when trying to place back the top cover. The black line broke just before the yellow marking you see on the video (close to the aluminum connector). Can the line be fixed since it's plastic? Is it difficult to replace the line in question? Please any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and God bless.

    They have a tool for holding the phasers and releasing the tension on the chain. Removing the chain or phasers completely is never required. Its always a gamble to do it that way as those cam cap bolt holes will strip out and pull all the threads out very easily. Then you end up replacing the head which is a bigger job all together. It takes at most 2 hours with the tools the right way.

    Great video man! My 2015 JK had the ticking noise on the passenger side... I followed your directions and watched the video multiple times after ordering the replacement parts. Once they arrived, the job took 12-ish hours to complete spread out over a weekend. MY JEEP IS FINALLY QUIET AGAIN! Thank you for taking the time to make this video and having detailed instructions on what to do! Saved me thousands! I was wondering if you had a video on replacing the CAMS? I could see some wear on the lobe from the bad rocker arm and I know I will need to replace it sooner than later. Was hoping you had another video I could study before diving back in... Thanks in advance!

    There are other videos that show acceptable vs non acceptable wear on the cam lobes. But if you left it ticking for too long you could have damage to the lobes...I'm not sure how that would manifest itself as the engine runs....probably poor performance due to lower intake or exhaust volume....?

Tore a couple spark plug boots on the disassembly (Amazon has them cheap!), and could've used a bit more walk through on the reassembly- especially battery and fuse box and wiring routing and importance to double check all vacuum lines and pcv tubes, but I figured it out with minimal "re do's!

    Did this job yesterday on a '15 GC driver's side. Much easier if you roll engine to a little before top dead center, for driver's side, for a more neutral cam position. Keep the magnet away from the rear of the cam, it will destroy the magnetism of the cam position rotors.

    I used a modified version of this method - Used the cam lock tool / de-tensioning set to de-tension the timing chain. I only locked the cams in place briefly to loosen one end bolt and remove it to inspect it more closely. Overall - This saved a ton of time and I did notice that if you are only doing rockers - there is a "magic spot" in the cam rotation where you can get every single of one of them out without any issue and without moving the cams out of the bearing journals. Unfortunately - I cannot say that for the lifters - you just need a teeny tiny little bit of extra clearance to get them all out - just like in the video. 😁 My screwed up rocker locations - ( I did them all and all the lifters - 81K miles ) Passenger exhaust cam rear - Rear 2 rockers were the worst Passenger intake cam - Next to last rocker Driver Intake and exhaust were mostly ok - one rocker had slightly more wear than all the others - I lost track of where it came from.

    Some information from my dad who used to work in Chrysler's warranty department before he passed. The reason these engines are having failing rocker arms in years before 2019 is because the engines were originally designed for 30 weight oil and then were back spec'ed to 20 weight oils because of CAFE fuel economy standards. The problem is that 20 weight oils have a lower HTHS (High Temperature High Sheer) rating which means that there is less ability for the oil to keep parts separated under high load areas of the engines such as in the needle bearings used in these earlier rocker arms before they were switched to a solid large pin (no needle bearing) design in late 2019. You can buy these rocker arms. The MOPAR Part numbers end in AH. Anything earlier than this will still have the needle bearings and not the solid pin. A work around if your engine is lower mileage and not ticking is to choose a 30 weight oil (which the owners manual says you can use) which has as high of a HTHS rating as possible. 30 weight oils will be 2.9 or higher. Amsoil XL for example is the highest I've found at 3.3 HTHS. (Heavy Duty Diesel Truck Engines specify a minimum of 3.5 HTHS for cam loading for this reason) In a 20wt oil it's 2.6 minimum and this is too low to protect these needle bearings. The other thing that you can do to ensure you don't suffer from issues is to not idle your engine too long (lack of oil flow to the top part of the engine). You don't have to take my word for it, but it's an easy change to make to ensure you don't suffer from this in your 2019 and previous Dodge Caravan, Journey or Jeeps that don't use the PUG Gen 3 engines as found in things like the Grand Cherokee, RAM pick-ups, Dodge Durango's (not Promasters or Chargers), These engines with the PUG 3 design have the Variable Vale Lift and use a different Rocker Arm design to accommodate the VVL system and don't suffer from this same problem.

I now have a small knock. Driven it about 20 miles, and it hasn't gone away. What would be the next step, or will this go away? I'm referencing the 56:00 mark on the video. Thanks!

    I'm curious what percentage of the time do you see the #4 (#3 in your numbering scheme) passenger side rocker arm on either the intake or exhaust side to be culprit? I have seen numerous other videos replacing rocker arms and it always seems to be the #4 passenger side and more specifically the exhaust cam rockers.

There is a noticeable click/tap that sounds like it's either coming from the starter or under the throttle body. All lights work, no error lights on dash, battery voltage is good. Any suggestions? 2013 Wrangler Sport. Thank you so much in advance!!
