Complete instructional video on how to remove and replace complete timing chain set including guide, tensioners, and sprockets. Work performed on a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 4.7L. Had just got done replacing valve stem seals and retainers. Upgraded the valve springs to the HO replacements and installed the 08 camshafts then decided to replace the timing chain set.

Martin, I want to thank you for the excellent video and instruction regarding what I initially thought was a very intimidating job for a non-professional. My son and I used your video (and one other about removing/installing cylinder heads) extensively to rebuild his Jeep Liberty 3.7 which had a dropped valve seat. Neither of us are mechanics but after watching your videos, we both said "we can do this!". And we did! After everything was put back together, we both held our breath as we turned the key to start it - and it fired right up. For anyone considering doing this job, just watch this video (over and over), follow the steps exactly, and you will be successful. In fact, setting the timing was the easiest and most enjoyable part of the job.

I assume that you have done a number of these 4.7l's then? Ever have one jump time at initial crank? I just did one, reused tensioners, everything looked good. This isn't the first one I've done either. Hit the key to start it and it instantly jumped time on both heads. Even after retimiing it, I have zero compression on the passenger side and 60 psi on the drivers side. I even primed the oil system the second time, which was too late. Is priming these needed?

Nice video Martin. Nice clear shots on the video. I had a diagnosis of coolant in my oil in my 08 3.7. So I'm considering pulling off the head gaskets. While I have all that off I gathered I might as well go the extra step and do the timing chain as well so this was very helpful. Not to mention, I just remembered since I'm doing all that I might as well throw in a new set of lifters.;) thanks!

Hi, Just wanted to say thank you for a couple of your videos. This one on replacing the timing chains and sprockets and the one on installing solid lifters. I had to tear the heads off my WK grand cherokee to replace some bent valves so I decided to change all the valves, the valve springs, seals and put solid lifters in. I also replaced the timing chain and sprockets along with the water pump and belt tensioner and new fuel injector connectors. Little bit of work but it runs great now. Thanks again.

@martinbuilt 3 жыл бұрын

Glad you found my videos helpful. Did you have a timing chain failure that caused the bent valve?

@jerrymcmanus9366 3 жыл бұрын

No, after I installed HO cams the bolt on the drivers side cam came slightly loose, guess I should’ve put locktite on ie, and the timing went off just slightly and caused the 4 intake valves on the drivers side head to hit pistons and bend. The pistons were fine but not the valves. Alls good now. Painful lesson learned though.

@martinbuilt 3 жыл бұрын

@@jerrymcmanus9366 sorry to hear that, I would be surprised if the bolt actually came loose, what have seen is that you may have thought the cam gear was seated to the cam but in actuality, it is not, and then the cam gear slips and you end up with bent valves and the appears to have come to loose.

But the sound doesn’t go away once warmed up. And is pretty loud. Just curious if you had the same symptoms with truck before doing the timing job. Through research, it seems to me that if it were the lifters starting to go bad the sound goes away after a bit. Thanks for your time. Also Martin you’re the best. Very helpful.

I watched your video until I had it memorized because it was the most detailed and it went absolutely flawless. My only issue was the LH cam sprocket/gear from Cloyes was not marked "R - V8 - L" (only had "L") and it was missing the holes for the spanner tool. I wanted matching gears but I needed the motor fixed ASAP. So using the old gear as a template I drill holes in the new one so I had a place to attach the spanner tool to torque the cam shaft gear bolts. Hell of a way to cut corners by not drilling two holes and deleting three stamp impressions. Great info, thanks for your hard work putting this video out there. Updated 12/7/2022 -- I replaced timing chains and lifters hoping it would get rid of the famous 4.7 tick and it did for about 4 days but then came back - strange why 4 days then returned ? Updated 12/12/2022 -- Had an oil leak on passenger side valve cover . Didn't have new gasket fully seated at rear corner-- it rolled over and some how got cut. Took about a week for the oil to find the exhaust manifold. Replaced with new one and no leaks. Reply Reply

Hi Martin! Great video and thanks for doing that. There's just one more thing to watch out for on the "3.7" however. Behind the double gear assembly , there is a counter balance gear that must be properly lined up as the new gear and chain set is being pushed on.

Yep, that's right ✅👍

Yes and now here I am stuck unsure how to time that small gear..

@EdFromOhio 11 ай бұрын

I almost just stuck stuff together because it wasn't mentioned and I figured it wasn't important. IT IS. Prior to putting the chains on, look at the very back angled teeth for a dot. Use a grease pen to mark the tops of those 2 teeth since you won't be able to see it once the chains are on. Then when installing, put the dot on the counter balance gear in those teeth so when pushed in place, the dots will be lined up.

I found out I'm also missing the guide pins. I Uninstalled first cause my buddy who was helping me broke a guide pin and some pieces fell at the bottom. Also I made my chain fall off from its spot. But yeah I'm glad I saw this video.

Hey man, I love your videos!!! Was wondering if u could do more step by step videos on the Dakota.. like removing the engine/ transmission.. how to find A/C leaks.. How to change transmission fluid and differential fluid, spark plugs, alternator, etc .. also how to wire lightbar to Hibeam switch

I put a 4.7 from a 03 Durango into a 01 dakota and because of the timing difference between the two it wouldn't run so I sent it out to multiple mechanics to try to get it running and they all failed so the project got pushed aside now after doing research and ordering new parts its time to put new timing gears and chains and stuff on but ive never done the job before so thanks for making this awesome how to boosts my confidence alot.

@martinbuilt 3 жыл бұрын

@@matty2helpfull yes you can use the old one. you will need to pull the engine and disassemble the lower half of the engine to lift the crank out far enough to change it out. you may be better off finding an engine that had the NGC ECM and sell that engine.
