In this video, I'll explain the benefits of the 05 and later rocker arm and show how to install these upgraded rocker arms. This also a great time to replace the lash adjusters (lifters) if there is any lifter tick. Also, show you how they operate with the engine running. With an epic fail but funny.

I believe in my ram 4.7 as it's been in my family since 80k and I'm soon to hit 207k. No engine issues ever, knock on wood, so it's time to show love and replace lifters and the rockers.

Greetings Martin, I have a 2003 Jeep Liberty 3.7 and I'm in the process of changing hydraulic lifters as most of them are Not plunging. The Jeep overheated about 6 years ago. I managed to run it once in a while. Anyway, I went to our part store here O'Reilly's ordered some lifters and he told me that they don't stock engine internal parts now a days because, "no one do engine overhaul anymore, they just buy rebuilt engine". I told him that's bs. There are still people who rebuild their engines. So the bottom line, I'm not going back there to buy the rest of lifters and rockers in that store. Thanks for the great tips and videos.

Okay, Rockauto has a Cloyes set #90393SF listed under 2008 dodge Dakota 4.7 for $270.00. This will have everything you will need, except the toner wheel from a 2002 4.7. Grind the rivets from the back side and punch then out enough the remove the toner wheel, Swap the 02 onto the 08 sprocket and weld up the rivets. I spoke with Cloyes about what I was doing and he agreed it would work. And mine is working great. Cloyes has a video on youtube with both applications if you need to watch and see what they did differently. Best of luck.

Ok I got some of these upgraded rockers from a 4.7, I see your point and the issue with the original rockers, but I also see that the new rockers created another issue, lack of oil to rocker bearings, I have seen a few videos and the majority of rockers that come off are from the exhaust valves so I’m thinking of installing the upgraded rockers on exhaust valves and leaving the originals for the intake valve as they put out a lot more oil.

You may want to try some Marvel Mystery oil that could cure your lifter noise. On your next oil change use half a quart. Then if that doesn't fix it then I would replace the lifters. If you want your valve covers to look like those look up how to Polish magnesium.

Hey Martin! Love all your 4.7 videos! You have no idea how much I have learned from your videos!! Thank you. Wondering what rocker arm brand you put in with the new design? Huge price difference and origin of manufacture. My rockers seem all right, but have old style you mention in video (2001 dodge dakota 4.7). Swapping all lifters and seems like good time to change to new style. Received DNJ (made in china). Got the similar priced EngineTech rockers you mentioned above coming this week. I am torn if I should just leave the old ones or not. Just don't want to put in low quality arms, but think the new design makes sense. Also everything says the Melling MR-1345 rocker doesn't fit 2001 but fits 2002, do you think that is a screw up or is there something to it.

@martinbuilt 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you, I really appreciate that. I like the OEM rockers and I just get them from the local Pick-a-Part and them just clean them up with some Totally Awesome and reoil before installing them. The Melling MR-1345 will fit all 99-13 3.7 and 4.7 engines.

Great video Martin! I have a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. It started to miss then cleared up for a couple weeks. A couple days ago i went to town about 10 miles away for lunch with my wife and the car ran great on the way down there but after lunch it started to miss when first started but cleared up after a few engine revvings . After driving half way home on surface streets the engine started to miss again. With a car in front of me and behind me with no place to pull over I continued on and the engine started missing on more and more cylinders. By the time I got home it felt like it was running on one cylinder. Had the vehicle towed back into town to a recommended repair shop and the mechanic told me it has no compression on #1 cylinder! I've owned the vehicle since new and always used synthetic oil in the engine. However, the vehicle has 159000 miles on it and I have not changed the spark plugs since 60000 miles. Mechanic said I need a new engine. Mechanic said new engine would cost around $6k installed. Can't afford!!! I had the vehicle towed back to my house and not sure what to do. What would you do? One more bit of information, the engine has never over heated and no coolant in the oil and no oil in the coolant. Everything besides the engine works fine! Again what wood you do?!

@martinbuilt 3 жыл бұрын

I would pull the valve cover and check the #1 cylinder's rocker arms and valves to see if it through a rocker arm or if a valve seat dropped. Did the check engine light come on and if so what codes? I doubt it needs a new engine.

Mr. Martin thank you so much for what you do and sharing your vast knowledge about the 4.7. Because of you I am no longer scared to do these modifications to my vehicle. I am currently in the middle of a 4.7 to 4.7 swap for my 04 ram 1500 4.7 SLT 4X4 because of a blown head gasket and milky oil. I bought another donor 04 ram 1500 4x4 because it currently has a strong 4.7 with no issues. I do have a question if you have time. Both trucks have the 8th digit N in the VIN. The donor is an automatic tranny while the recipient is a 5spd. Watching your video on replacing the stock cams with the earlier HO cams you scared the daylights out of me. You made mention about the PCM plugs. The donor (automatic tranny) has a 4 plug PCM while my truck has a 3 plug PCM. Is this due to the difference in the auto vs 5spd or am i going to run into the tone ring issue? Also my new to me cams are marked 1414AB and 1413C. Did I do good on the pick and will they work? Again thank you so much for your time and devotion to this channel. Sending you some educational funding as soon as i post this !!

@martinbuilt 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you Bradley for the kind words and generous donation I really appreciate that. Yes the camshafts you got the 1414 and the 1413 are HO Cam shafts. Now the situation with the number of plugs on the ECM on your donor 04 seems a bit odd that it only has 3 and this could be because of the manual transmission the 4th plug is for automatic transmission control. To verify that both of them have the same tone ring on the crank shaft or reluctor gear I would verify that they have the same camshaft gear on the passenger side compare the rectangle holes and if they are in the same location then you are good to go. I would remove the Cam gear from the engine that has the blown head gasket lay that Cam gear up against the donor vehicle engine and compare carefully to verify that they are the same or not.

Thanks for your video. After doing the rocker arms and lifters on the passenger side, my check engine light came back on and I can’t get engine to rev above 2200 rpm. Could it be related to hand turning the crankshaft ?

the driver side valve cover is a very tight fit on a dakota pickup.

@martinbuilt 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, it is. On the 00-04 Jeep Grand Cherokee it's the passenger side that's really tight. The battery, battery tray, A/C compressor, and more need to be removed.

I just did the driver side today , and I must say . It was not fun . But with your videos I've been able to build my father's dodge Dakota sport 4x4 I inherited when he passed . So ty and God bless you . Looks like the passage side will be a real fight lol ; ). Oh and o used the Detroit rockers . Smooth baby. : )

Hi Martin, thanks for high quality video, question can I put new valve stem seals on without removing camshaft, and just remove rocker arms. Thanks a million!

@martinbuilt 4 жыл бұрын

Yes you can, They do make a special tool to compress the spring. You will also need to use compressed air to the cylinder to keep the valve from falling into the cylinder.

Awesome instructional Martin! Do you ever see the roller of the rocker go bad? If someone already has an 05-07 would replacing the rocker arms as maintenance with the lash adjusters make sense?

I just rotate the motor and cam so the lobes are in a neutral position and take the bolts out of the cam caps and carefully lift the cam without affecting the timing to remove and install the rockers. Way easier that way

Hello Martin I clicked the link for the B-2271 lifters and they are out of stock do you know anywhere else I can get these lifters I've been and will continue to keep looking, you have been very helpful and I greatly appreciate it and the time you take to explain to in your videos

@charliedee9276 3 жыл бұрын

They changed the lash adjuster in 05 or 06 as well. The 2271 adjuster is part 53021077 and the new one is part 53021894AA or Sealed Power HT-2308.

@charliedee9276 4 жыл бұрын

Would you use these if you already have solid lash adjusters? I would think they are not needed in that case.

Hello Martin, I hope you are well. I have a 2007 Jeep Commander with a 3.7 engine. I am going to change the engine crankcase seal and I want to change the connecting rod metals. Are they in standard? I have a doubt if giving torque will bind the crankshaft?

@rootbeernineteen135 3 жыл бұрын

The newer ones seem to promote slower leakdown as well.

@martinbuilt 3 жыл бұрын

Exactly and that is why they should help reduce latch adjuster collapse and the Rocker popping out.

I know this is at least 3 years ago. The links (20.05.23) are all out of stock for the new type of rockers as well. I was just wondering if you have used the rocker locks that are made for the 3.7 & 4.7L as well and if you think they would be of value and last the distance?

Good stuff Martin. I am in the market for a 2002 liberty and was researching some set backs I might come across. You addressed a major concern I’ve read about the 3.7 and 4.7 engines. I do have a question, are these parts you listed interchangeable between both engines?

I'm preparing to replace all of the lifters on the drivers side of my 2001 Dakota with the 4.7L V8. Saw a review which mentioned the 2005 rocker arm redesign, which led me here in an effort to understand the design change and its pros/cons. Excellent video, answered every question I had on the rockers. A few more related questions: 1) Can I rotate the engine via the crankshaft bolt when one or more rockers and lifters are removed, or will doing so cause issues because the exhaust valve(s) will be unable to open? 2) If I replace rocker arms in addition to lifters, do I need to follow any specific break-in procedure for the camshaft upon start-up? 3) What do you recommend in terms of assembly lube? Saturate with oil before reinstalling valve cover, or use assembly lube on the cam lobes? Thanks, Martin!

@martinbuilt 2 жыл бұрын

I'm glad you like the video and found it helpful.. You can rotate the engine the to where it makes it easy to remove the rockers. Always rotate the engine clockwise when you're facing the engine. There is no need for a break in oil or assembly lube since it is a roller type rocker arm but you can use assembly lube if you like and I would definitely recommend at least squirting some oil over the lobes and rockers before covering them up and make sure you soak the lifters in motor oil for at least several hours to remove the air.

@Devin_Schwartz 2 жыл бұрын

@@martinbuilt - Thanks, Martin! Appreciate the lubrication tips. What if I want to rotate the engine several revolutions (by hand or via the starter) with one or more rockers removed, would that be alright or cause problems since valves wouldn't be opening? My logic in so doing would be an attempt to ensure the oil passages supplying the lifter bosses are visibly clear and pumping oil before installing new lifters.

@martinbuilt 2 жыл бұрын

@@Devin_Schwartz Yeah you can rotate the engine with the rockers removed but you're not gonna see oil being pumped through there if you're spinning it by hand, it's gonna take more than that a faster rotation in other words.
