Man that was very helpful I took mine apart and I wasn't sure which way the rods went back in I'm so glad you were very thorough with your disassemble and video great job bro

If u use two propane torches pointed at each other u can get those wrist pins our super easy without over heating anything

So only have way through the series but you are a hero!! So by trade I'm a mechanic but only 5-6 years so still green, but I'll be buying an 02' durango soon and the heads are off so assuming same issue with yours...anyway not familiar with these nor the little tricks and such so thank you and please if you can do more videos on topics like this you got a subscriber for sure 10/10

Love the time lapse brother

How do I check the crankshaft and make sure it's not bent from my piston breaking

You should have supported the side of the rod as well to prevent possible bending of the rod

where can rebuild the engine?

8:44 "hi can I help?" 😂

How did the fuel injectors and other external goodies look?

Were any of those wrist pins loose or wobbling in the sleeve just curious ??

Your supposed to heat up the piston and rod and freeze the pin and then quickly assemble….. or heat up the entire assembly then knock out piston pin while hot.

Please help. Where is the engine number and chassis number of that dakota located

Lmao. Reusing bearings and beating on rods are a sure way to be tearing it back down...and oven cleaner. No wire brusbing

damn wanna do mine for a video lol i got a 4.7 v8 needs rebuilt.
