WARNING! READ THIS BEFORE GOING OFF THIS VIDEO!! Just a heads up…. That “pop” you were hearing was not your cams or phasers…. That “popping” noise is your chain skipping down lower due to bad Hydraulic tensioner(s) and or worn sprockets. If you look, your cams weren’t doing anything to make any noise. There’s nothing they can do to make a popping noise like that….To anyone that hears this noise, listen closely or use a stethoscope and you will hear that the noise is coming from down lower and when you remove the front cover go a head and spin tue engine clockwise again and you will see the chain slip…. I’ve done a ton of these and 99 percent of the time you will watch the chain slip on the bottom gear. This isn’t anything negative to the content creator as he’s trying to help…. When doing this job since you’re this deep replace all of the tensioners, sprockets, chains oil pump and if needed valves and valve seals.

Please use only GM VVT Sprockets And Chain Kit.... Don't Use Dorman VVT Sprockets Or You Will Have Trouble.

Yeah, umm... see that Dorman logo on there? Don't buy those.

Yea do yourself a favor and replace all cam phasers and oil pump. It’s an extra 300 but better than rebuying everything all over again. Learn from me, my cloyes set lasted 15k because of a bad phaser. Broken the yellow plastic guide on bank 1 and bent all intake valves. 1200 later I’m up and running again all because of a 67 dollar cam phaser.

you can put all three chains on in stage 1 timing. look for the Melling video that shows you how.

Change your oil every 4 to 5 thousand miles, and check your oil level, use a good quality synthetic oil, Delos standard, and you will not have problems.

Bank 1 is passenger side brother

drill out pvc holes are too small and cylinder one in rocker cover blocks up and gunk block timing chain and oil pump look at difference in rocker covers and each head one side is clean other side is gunked up because of pvc to small and cannot breath

What in god's name are you blathering about?

It’s the sprockets,they are worn..replace them

thanks for sharing .. got the same problem and I didn't replace the phaser just chains and didn't fix....

Thanks tho good vid. Timing marks explanation was good too. I was definitely looking for those

replace all the cam phasers? or just affected side?

Suppose to replace the little flat washer things behind the phasers

This question isn't about timing but what is the sensor down by the oil pan and harmonic balancer? I can't find the wire but the senor is in the front which is facing the passenger side

how many miles were on it when you replaced the timing chain?

How many miles on this engine?

Removed R chain with engine on stage two, rotate to stage one and removed bottom and left and done deal sr.

Hi stage 1 is that 5 oclock and 8 oclock stage 2 , also do u start off at tdc.?

Did 3.6 rockers & push rods ..lock cams in with tool everything is lined up as before ..But When I turn crank @ 1 spot on left side bank chain get a little slack not as much as yours. is that normal..again everything is lined up .this on a dodge 3.6
