Thank you!

@@Bryan916 4 years later and your work is still valued. Thank you, sir.

@@Sk3wd33 Thanks Brother I appreciate that very much!

@@Bryan916dope channel man new sub! 🫡 question for u: if I’m changing my pcv hose from my 07 jgc Laredo 3.7 cause it has a leak from left side of the elbows (p0507) is it as easy as plug and play for the pcv hose to replace?

@@Sk3wd33that’s your jeep in the video?

I appreciate the positive feedback brother and glad this video helped. Shout-out to New Zealand!

Uhh not really. He was just in it to take the customers money. He knows damn will that if a valve seat came off the engine is blown.

No problem 👍

Thanks Brother I appreciate that!

His troubleshooting is horrible!

Amazon sells one for 59$ compared to earthquake 130$ I've owned both like the Amazon one better tbh

You can Leave the Radiator in, but you gotta remove the fan!

@@Bryan916 And just having done this I can say it is easier pulling the radiator/fan together then trying to separate the fan from the radiator while still in the vehicle. At least on the hydro fan.

No mystery here the valve seat fell out keeping the valve from closing all the way and sticking out into the cylinder causing the piston to strike it. I know someone was in there before because it was missing a rocker arm that clearly someone removed! I'm sure you can guess why they remove it!

It's the PCV Valve Hose. The PCV Valve on this engine is located on the oil filler.

FretStomperJamo leave the exhaust manifold attached to the cylinder head. Disconnect the downpipes connected to the manifold. The cylinder heads comes off with exhaust manifold attached, only way to do it!

That's a Harbor Freight believe it or not. It's a great little tool i never had any issues with it!

@@Bryan916 Cool, thanks! It looks like it's quite handy, no air hose in the way. Retired now however still do it quite a bit in the garage, doing my 04 GC 4.7 heads in spring as preventative maintenance. Made the decision right after my friends Durango dropped a seat at 150,000 and trashed the short block, mine has 140,000... Runs great but I'm not falling for the dropped seat trick, lol.

Smart Man!

Sounds like compression loss probably the timing is off.

Chang Michael how'd it go??

Henry Fuentes it still pretty cold outside, I might get it done by May lol

I'm not sure but honestly I don't see why not, the only difference is the cam lift

@@Bryan916 I'm looking at an '02 Durango with good paint and body, clean interior and a very tired sounding 4.7. I have sourced a good reman engine, but they recommend replacing the intake in case there were any bits of valve guide that got impregnated into the walls of the old intake. I wanted to make sure that there weren't any bolt issues or sensor issues. Your different videos have really helped me learn a lot in a very short amount of time. You remind me a lot of Mr. Flockhart, one of my instructors at UTI. He took the time to not only show what to do, but also took the time to explain some of the hows, whys, and whats behind the steps and manufacturing process. Oh, that reminds of another question. When I was looking at some of the engines available, some were described as 16 teeth and others as 32 teeth. I ended up finding one that was compatible with the VIN code "N", and that's what I will be going with. Thanks for the help!

Check out pt 2 I kinda went over this topic of should you buy a used engine or repair your current engine. After watching pt 2 I hope it helps you make a decision!

@@Bryan916 thank you.

Doesn't matter if it's a Iron block! To much heat will distort any type of metal. You always have the Heads checked for cracks and have it machine true when doing a top End Job this is key to the Repair process! But honestly you can't heat up these 4.7 or the valve seats will fall out my advice to you is find a good Machinist have new valve seats installed along with the other machine work!

It's not a drill JT it's an Impact Driver.

@@Bryan916 ok thanks i orderd a Makita set just want to see if i can use that for little nuts and bolts on the car ....happy holidays

Good choice, Yeah a Makita Impact driver shouldn't have any problems removing small fasteners at all. Thank for View Brother much appreciated!

Ha Ha Ha! Hit me up if you got any questions, email me BryansAuto916@gmail.com I'll try my best to help

Thank you I will hopefully I don't need to

How did it go? @@10RFuentes

It WAS goin good till i broke a head bolt in the block. Never Never reuse head bolts!!!!!

I thought i odered bolts for both heads but it only for one head so i reused a set

Remove the two exhaust down pipe bolts and that's it, the exhaust manifold comes out with the cylinder head!

@@Bryan916 Thanks that's great! The two down-pipe bolts on the starboard side of the engine are covered by a load of pipes and stuff, do I have to strip all this off or is there an easy way to get to them?

If you know you gotta pull the heads any way, might was well start pulling them off. If you are not sure if you need to pull the heads and still trying to find out what's going on then I would work on getting the socket out!

@@Bryan916 my girls truck overheated, broke down, and now it will not start. I already replaced the radiator due to a huge hole in it and it still won’t start. At this point I’m honestly just assuming the truck blew a head gasket based on what I looked up and also what multiple mechanics and friends told me. It does crank and the starter is working fine, no clicking noise or anything like that. It just sucks cuz I wanted to be forsure before I started. I did try to run the diagnostic but that socket got stuck and i really have no clue how to get it out. Too much other components in the way as well. I didn’t want to just jump into but damn lol. Thanks for replying!

It shouldnt cost 9k lol your getting ripped off

An entire engine rebuild and machine is like 4k 😂

You can buy a junk 2011 and just drive both cars to a shoo and say hey ... Put this engine in that one and they will for like 3 grand.. And then you tow truck the parts car to the acrap yard.

Overlap is when both intake and Exhaust Valves are open momentarily. This does not happen on the compression stroke but on the exhaust stroke. Performing a Cylinder leak test, air would be escaping out the rear tailpipe as well and the T-body this would tell me it's not on the compression stroke but on the exhaust stroke, going back to the point I made in the video!

Or can i just put it to tdc after I take the chains off ? Manually in each came and the harmonic ?

@@daytonthomas6778 I'm not sure what you mean explain it in detail @ Bryansauto916@gmail.com

Right, so there's your problem, It must be a valve not closing right? maybe watch the whole video or skip to the end to see what the problem was before commenting!

@@Bryan916 smart ass I figured that when I typed the comment. Mad at me because you spitting incorrect information

​@@yungjewant7291 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This might be the stupidest comment thus far! You obviously don't understand how flat rate works. It doesn't matter if it took me 40 hours or 100 hours the customer still gets billed the 20 hours Bro, so figure out what you're talking about first before you try to talk shit!

It's dumb ass ppl likethat that give good mechanics a bad name. People don't seem to understand that sometimes things that happen to old parts when repairing vehicles and if some brittle part breaks it has to be replaced

@@Bryan916 yup thats why when i was a mechanic i was the one doing all the engine jobs. i worked slow but we never had very many issues when i was done .. usually started right up . lol i used to be able to get the timing within a degree or so before i started them. but thats also why im no longer a mechanic. i never made any money doing it i was too slow. Flat rate can be brutal. but i changed 1978 Ford radius arm bushings in an hour and got paid for 4. that was a good day.

You're an f'ing jackass. He was working at an above average clip. I'm sure you'd have the heads off in less than 2 hours. Utter moron!
