Sorry You Have To Work ON EPA Junk

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.

@@ttampi Most engines don't suffer this fate. The reason it seems like a big problem is because there is already 12 million PentaStars produced to date and the 2% failure rate is a lot of engines because there are so many. But that means 98% are just fine. So proper timely maintenance with oil changes is all you need. Don't go past 5,000 miles

​@@CedroCronwow, ok. That was some good knowledge dropped here. I have a 2012 JK and it calls for 5w30. I have 139k miles on it now and it hasn't had these rockers go south yet. I always suspected that the difference between the oil weight might have been a factor. I am the 2nd owner and bought it in 2017 with 75k miles on the odometer. Ever since I have owned it I have always used full synthetic oil such as Pennzoil Platinum or Liqui Moly when changing the oil. The only major issue I've had was a head gasket go bad and of course the oil cooler but the latter was easy enough to replace. Thanks for the info.

This video is by far one of the best attention to details on taking things off of an engine! For those of us who are backyard mechanics who don't do these things very often and for the rocker arm issue, the very first time, it is nice to have someone who has done this before and show us newbies how it's done correctly!!! I know there are many out there, including me, who try to do something for the very first time only to break something along the way or to drop a fastener, nut, bolt, washer, clip down the engine gap to somewhere you'll never be able to retrieve it from!!! 👍👍👍

The only thing I can do is proper maintenance. Thought about doing the Baxter spin on filter adaptor. I tried to make sure she was broken in properly. I don't use the start Stop and give her nice revs regularly. I made sure the filter cap O ring was placed in the proper groove and NOT overtighten which can crush the cartridge filter and crack the plastic oil filter housing.... I hope she does well bc after all these years without a license I can drive with the wind in my hair with the top, doors, and windows off. Life is good at the moment, I just hope she does well 🥹

Did you by chance happen to do the oil cooler earlier? Would have been good idea to replace it with everything that far torn down. Lost a lifter at about 18k and took out a cam in an 18 Pacifica. Making me think I should do this when when I do the oil cooler. Plus valve cover is leaking. It runs great when it runs but too many problems with it to convince me to buy another one. They are also known to blow head gaskets too 🙄

What a major hunk of crap of jeep if it needs this work done at 79k miles, how dare them the prices they charge for new jeeps with this kind of reliability and rusting issues. Great video.

Excellent video, man! Thank you! 🙏 Very descriptive & easy to listen to. I really appreciate you making my life easier by passing along your knowledge via this video! I do have a question, however, as I'm putting my gaskets on my valve cover - does the camshaft gasket sit flush against the cover or does it have some flexibility for inserting the camshaft sensor? Thanks in advance! Also, on the driver side when you had all of the cam caps off, did you pry up on the cam phaser? I don't think you included that part in the video & I'm struggling to get the front 2 (front of motor if facing the vehicle) lifters out. Thanks again!

I’m on the same repair right now a 2013 charger. The first rocker arm failed at 110,000 miles at cylinder #5 right bank back rear in about 2017. Replaced that 1 rocker and all has been good until about 2 weeks ago tick,tick. 2023 and the car now has 247,000 and #1 cylinder intake rocker trashed along with lobe, .040 off top of lobe. So I’m replacing all rockers along with both cams on right bank. Also #1 cylinder exhaust cam and rollers have some blotches on them. I have been running synthetic oil since 1st oil change started with mobil1 until 45k, then castrol to 150k and since 150k been running amsoil. I would like to think running the syn oil has helped to keep the motor healthy for this whole time. I would like to see a low mile motor from a yard pulled and the rollers inspected. I don’t think it’s a roller issue and it seem most of the youtube motors seem to have a high failure rate with the right bank and maybe the motor has an oiling issue. Maybe Chrysler pointing a finger at a supplier is easier than an engineering fail.

@ATEMOFFROAD

Sound like you are doing something right. Regardless of the failure. I’m Curious to know if you have maintained the 5w20 weight? I have always used mobile 1 and valavoline full synthetic. I frequently change the oil between 3-4k miles. why under the covers the engine is so clean. My take on the oiling is issues with hot spots as the main contributing factor from long periods of time at idle. Food Drive thrus, offroading (low rpm) and stop go traffic all accumulate wear a in TIME. (Not mileage). This is why I say it’s safer to change oil at earlier intervals. For example if your taking a day trip offroading you may have 8 hours on the engine that day but only 50 miles on the dash. How does one calculate the differences from what the service manual recommends?

I'm surprised that these repairs are required so early in the engines life... Unlike the old might 4 ltr. I would be disappointed owning a late model vehicle and having to do these repairs. I know there are a lot of owners with JK/JL's with no issues but the reliability issues is a concern. That's why IMO is a XJ OR TJ. But your videos are very informative and I enjoy watching them.👍🇦🇺🚙

This will make the jeep not start but prime the system once the engine stop turning over start the engine and your good to go. 🍻

Great video!! I have a question though. Why replace the cams and phasers on one side and not the other? Maybe I missed the diagnoses in the video that made you decide to do this.

The tone wheels on those cams were damaged, ( i do cover that part in some shorts) thats beside the point of this video, replacing lash adjusters and rockers. One way is to “remove” the cams for repair. I show two ways to do it. Thanks for watching

this 2015 Town Country i bought at auction seized up after just a few miles. has 127k mi. it wont even turn over. what would cause that? sounded like a kubota deisel before it died

Few things to speed things up.. You can do this whole job without losing coolant and needing to rebleed by simply pulling the coolant lines into the valley out of the way.. No need to take the phaser sensors off the valve cover, it'll come off with them in place. If you're only doing rockers you can do all 24 rockers the way you did the driver side. This is nice if you're just going after one single ticking rocker to be cheap. The pcv valve bolts are easy to get with one of the tiny ratchets that take 1/4 hex bits. Oreillys has a nice one. Be careful torqueing the cam cap bolts while they're wet with oil, they won't click a torque wrench and strip out or snap. If you don't remove the cam If you place the rear most cam lobe down you can do all the rockers without having to rotate the cam inbetween. If you're only going after the one bad one, its almost always the number 5 intake rockers, but I've seen them in almost every spot.

Good tips especially the magnets, no need to remove those , I did because I had a new valve cover gasket set so I was already there. The coolant hardline too, if you can do it without removing good on you. I seen no other way but to totally remove to remove the cover. 🤷‍♂️🍻

@ATEMOFFROAD I usually ziptie it to the little stud on the alternator and it just pulls it out of the way enough.

Really great information! I think I need to do this to my 2017 WK2... Did you have any codes pop up afterwards? Did you have to perform a "timing relearn" afterwards?

No codes, it’s recommended to do the relearn , not really necessary on the 2017.

Great video, I've got a 2021 Gladiator with 63k and its always had a little ticking noise but in the last couple months its gotten worse, to the point it sounds like there's no oil in the engine at start up, it gets better after it warms up but is still louder than it was. Did you replace those cam phasers on the passenger side with new ones? What brand would you recommend and do you think all four should just be replaced since I'm going to be in there anyway? Im getting the parts list together for what im going to need to do this, definitely looks like a long weekend job.

Yes both new phasers , start thinking about replacing those around 80-100k mopar is a good brand for those, and replacing all 4 is a good idea. A good place for parts is rock auto, I bought everything from there and the savings is huge. Thanks for watching 🍻

Bro i can not belive your having problem in the newer JL model jeep, i though they fix them with the recall 2011 to 2018 JEEP jk, i guess not, that kinda of sad, make sure you document that and call jeep cause i'm sure you are not the only one.

Just bought my 2015 with 115k miles on it and have put about 3K on it and it just started ticking. Would you suggest doing oil cooler when I’m in there doing rockers? Seems like the hard part is getting everything out of the way to get to actual repair. Great video!

@ATEMOFFROAD

It’s hard to say without history on the jeep, but it makes sense to replace those while you are there, yes. Rockers and oil cooler housing o rings can fail at any moment. You replace one rocker and another one fails. I would assume someone has already been in there to repair those hence the mileage, but it’s hard to tell. You will have to try and make up that decision yourself. Maybe call the dealership and ask?

U need the Baxter spin on oil filter adapter...the oil cooler will just be better won't fix the oiling issue. The adapter has a check valve to hold oil in the filter and cooler to prevent dry starts.

I want a jeep but this engine scares me I wonder if 2.0 turbo non etorque model are those any better

My 2021 gladiator is having all that and the cams replaced both sides as we speek been in the shop for months waiting on parts....

Easier then a screw driver for the spark plug gaskets, put a socket on it on the top, (forget the size) and pound them out pretty easily.

155K on my 13 JK with no ticking yet but I'm ready. 10W-30 synthetic every 4K since new and drive it like I stole it. Seen them go in the 50K's and last a little past 200K.

Great video Brother, any reason you replaced cam phasers on first bank only?

@ATEMOFFROAD

9 ай бұрын

Yes 3 reasons , mopar recommends that they get replaced around 80-100k miles . And For this video I wanted to add how to test for a bad phaser. And for that I was able to show what a good phaser tests like for this video. lastly, i herd some chatter on bank 1 during cold start prior to the repairs, I was already there and the cams needed to be removed for the demo so I replaced them. The spring tension in them were good. The chatter at cold start I believe is the oiling system bleeds off pressure and you get the momentary chatter at cold start once the pressure is up the chatter goes away.

If mopar recommends replacing the cam phasers at 80-100k miles I'm not sure why you didn't replace all of them? In the video you didn't show how to test for a bad phaser or a good phaser. If not replacing the cam phazers can you replace the rockers and lifts the same way as you did on the drivers side? @@ATEMOFFROAD

No this was a loud tapping sound made when the rocker collapse, as the engine revs it become faster

Just curious as to why not change out the other two phasers? It's a bit of work to get to them and you were already in there. Looking at buying a 2015 and I'm a bit nervous with what I've heard about these v6 engines.

Here’s the tool kit I used, it covers 2011 and up amzn.to/3F6s0Me

When you are putting your valve covers back on, you should use Synthetic Oil to lubricate the O-ring style gasket. Just because your valve cover is plastic does NOT mean the seal doesn't need lubrication to seal permanently. Important note: NEVER put any seal in any machine DRY, that is where cover leaks come from. I used to work in a Hydraulic sh0p, our go-to Pro tip for sealing any gasket, O-ring type seals that are prone to leaking or are simply old and the surfaces are worn is: we would use a high quality Synthetic Grease to wipe on the seal to guarantee a good seal with NO leaks or seeping. The grease trick works on Covers, shafts, axles, rams, motors and any machines experiencing pressures of upward of 3000 psi of Oil pressure. It really works. Or if you don't believe me ignore this tip, and watch your Jeep drip oil on the driveway in 6 months. The real reason these Cam phasers and roller rockers fail is because the owners are cheaping out on their choice of Motor Oil, use the highest quality of motor Oil you can get; and your engine will go a lot further before you need a tear down. I refuse to use brands like Castrol Sludge, Valvoline, Quaker Mistake the list goes on. The only brands I would use would be as follows, Amsoil, Luqui-Moly or Motul. I do an engine flush every Oil change to wash the sludge out, then Amsoil with the best filter money can buy. If it is an engine that you push to extremes working the motor to the max for long periods like hauling heavy loads through the mountains for 6 hours at a time, then when you are doing all that work on the top, install a Melling High Volume Oil pump. If you push your 4x4 or truck to it's max capacity every day, you need a Melling, coupled with the best Motor Oil and you WILL get long life from your engine, especially these Cam phaser engines or interference motors. I used to work in an engine rebuilding facility and the #1 reason for engine failure today IS, as it has always been: Lack of lubrication.
