Yes, but usually recalls are centered around safety. Technically there's nothing un-safe about the valve train making a ticking noise. But I see your point.

All of these shit motors go bad and wear rockers, lifters, and cams. You are very lucky... or a liar.

Thanks for watching my friend. Please thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks again

Been looking at a few videos and you,ve taught me something the others had not,thanks you,v boosted my confidence

Why thanks you and thanks for watching my friend

More to come!

there are some of these Motors with hundred thousand miles with NO problems the problem here is LACK OK care what is needed is to train to take care of what one has the lace on the owners Care really helps the local Service shop s

Thats good to hear my friend, glad it worked out for you. The Grand Cherokee not that bad..lol..Please thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel for me, thanks

Thanks for watching Dustin

Hey bud, you should definitely put shop rags or something in the intake to protect from un wanted entry...good point

Lesson learned, did valve cover gaskets, intake gaskets, plugs, oil, etc on a 3.6 used a torq bit on a 1/4 screw driver. Bit fell out of driver into intake. Engine went boom lmao

Tape...

What you mean?

@@OnlineMechanicTipsIt looks like you took the valve cover bolts off in the reverse of the torque sequence. At least from memory of the torque sequence it looked to be reversed which is technically how you should do it. That's good!

wow,,,300K...lol @ engine sitting in garage ready to go...lol..We see maybe 1 Promaster in here a month..Not sure how that engine removed..

@@OnlineMechanicTips want to thank you for all the videos n free info you share. Spreading the word so hope u get some subs

The engine has been re-design so everything great now

@@OnlineMechanicTips I have reviewed the characteristics of the 3.6 2020, and although the valve train has been redesigned, I observe that they continue to use the same oil pump, and that is where the problem is, they have to modify this pump, because it is designed as a turbocharger, but these systems are efficient to compress gases, but not for liquids, check and analyze that pump and you will find out.

Hello my fried, I have tons of videos out doing just that, in fact heres a link to my 3.6L playlist..You will find at least 10 videos in this playlist showing you how to do this..BTW PLEASE SUBSCRIBE so you will not miss the 3.6 vids im about to upload, thanks..kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f6iEi6qr0c_Ml4k.html

Damn, you too?

Thanks PJ

We in the Atl Ga area. My friend these complaints do not mean you need to replace the engine. It can be fixed. It just need to be inspected first. Are you subscribed to the channel?

lol,,,,No, thats not it..Adjusters take forever sometime..Thanks for watching..Please sub the channel for me, thanks

I leave them on the valve cover

Yes, there should be no fear concerning the all new Pentastar engine. Everything has been upgraded.The valve train problems mainly in the older models. Thanks for watching, please thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks.

Hello my friend, thanks for watching. No that is not usual. If your ticking noise is a result of a broken rocker arm, you will def tick and may experience a misfire if the pcm pick it up. But if your ticking is a result of a wearing out cam phaser, that could cause your concern. Find out of any codes in the computer..O and please like the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks a bunch

Yes. Those oil galley bolts will walk off. I had one that walked all the way out and was just laying there in the cover on the timing chain guide. That could have really been bad. I torque those to specs every time valve cover removed..doing a video on this topic as we speak. Thanks for watching and the inputs bud.

Hey thanks bud, let me answer that like this, without sounding reckless. You dealing with bank 1, there is no grenade pin style tensioner but even if it out, you still can get the phasers on and onto the cam. I never use a tool for bank 1 but I recommend everybody else do..you can put the intake phaser on then using the wrench, rotate that cam fully to the timing mark taking out slack (I'm sure you marked chain right?) Now take the exhaust phaser and wrap chain around it with markings in place. Go to place phaser/chain onto the camshaft, rotate cam using wrench as needed to install onto the cam. It should fall right in place without much effort. I have a video I'm bout to upload tonight on this very topic. But if you dont feel comfortable this way, dont do it..stay tune for that vid tonight (I hope)

@@OnlineMechanicTips that helped tremendously. The plastic tools proved to be worthless but thanks to you I got the job done. Where do I send the beer?

Are you referring to the actuators on the front of the valve covers? Also are you subscribed to the channel?

@@OnlineMechanicTips yes those there are four

Because the are saying u need to mark them before removing those solenoid

Wow guy, think maybe you can at least subscribe to the channel while I dig up sum?

You can do it without messing up the timing if you had the tools. In fact you dont really need the tools. Look at this video..Dont forget to subscribe to the channel. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f7-Earh4uLKdY6c.html

@@OnlineMechanicTips Thank you for quick response, i did subscribe man :) I have the tools, but my question is, do i really have to align the shaft to TDC or the camshaft arrows or i can just put paint marks then just release and replace rocker arms and put everything back and aligned with the paint mark?

@@aminjr If the cams are align, likely the crank will be..(Not by the mark, it may be on a different revolution) The important part is the arrows on the cam phasers and on the other cam phasers, the lines. I tend to align the marks, then draw a line on the phasers and chain so I would know where they go back.

@@OnlineMechanicTips Thank you

Yes, The valve train has been redesign on the newer Pentastar engines. Thanks for watching, please thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks.

Hello my friend, the camshaft is not a wearable item. There is no time table to ever replace a cam unless it has been grind down due to worn valve train components or you just getting a upgrade.You can easily prevent cam damage by replacing any broken valve train parts such as rocker arms. If you hearing valve train noise, get it repaired asap

Hey on the vans, no gen 3 pentastar made the cut. They started showing up on the Pacifica van in 2017. And yes, the earlier build rockers was poorly design and now giving the Pentastar brand a bad image. Also are you subscribed to the channel?

@@OnlineMechanicTips yes I did

This was a first generation pentastar 3.6 2012 model. Thanks for watching, please subscribe to the channel for me, thanks

Thats a RWD vehicle so the engine straight. It depends on your starting point. Have the engine been torn down yet? Also are you subscribed to the channel?

My man. theres really no way you can predict when problems of any engine/car will happen. And to be correct, I think what I was trying to say was that if you hear ticking noise (likely a rocker arm), you should get it looked at asap. If its determined that some rocker arms are at fault, then yes, go ahead and get them replaced before cam damage will occur. To me there would be no need to cut a trip short because you start to hear a tick. The early stages of a rocker arm failure will likely be 1 or 2 needle bearings coming apart. Its not etched in stone that you will eat into the camshaft. In my opinion, that take extended extended periods of continued driving with a failed rocker arm for that to happen..A 1780 mile trip to Colorado may not yield those results.

@@OnlineMechanicTips Thanks

I'd say finish your trip and be prepared to fork out a extra $400. Your engine will start getting misfires if you let it go too long. At that point you better get it fixed fast

Hello my friend, not only did they change the parts, they change the complete valve train. Now depending on what vehicle you have, most 2019 and up are of the third generation 3.6 Pentastar engine which includes that redesign valve train set up i mention. Thanks for watching bud, please thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks

Good to know.

Hey bud. Which bank/head are you referring to? These engines have 2 exhaust camshafts. O and please subscribe to the channel for me if you not already, thanks

@@OnlineMechanicTips yes already subscribed. Bank one. You talked about the pcv harness I believe. And what extra steps is there? Did you talk about it in another video? Thanks man

Hey bud, they not that bad, just got to dig it out..lol..No special tricks to it..Thanks for watching..Please like the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks

There are plenty extended warranty companies out there that will cover it if the customer push the issue. And yes you can continue to operate the vehicle but not without risk. You can over time eat into the lobe of a camshaft that would be more expensive.

@@OnlineMechanicTips Thanks for the quick response! My father just purchased a 2013 town & country. It had bad torque converter off the lot. Then it had a bad thermostat. Then once I brought it from Florida to NY it had TIPM issue with fuel pump relay. Purchased a bypass from Vertical Horizon and it resolved the starting issue. Before I left I noticed the ticking noise. It seems to be louder when the engine is idling for a while. Are a lot of these town and country non stop problematic vehicles?

@@ReadySetAutismFamily You just mentioned most of the known problems with the earlier built generation 1 Town and Country with the Pentastar engine. Once you get the valve train noise repaired, that should hold you for awhile..I have a 2012 Town and Country that I use for rideshare work. Everything you mentioned Ive had to do to my own van, all is well now.

@@OnlineMechanicTips Well I guess this is good news! Yeah it must be a pretty tough van if your using it for rideshare! How many miles do you have? We have about 130k. What would be the average cost of getting the valve train noise repaired?? You should do a video on the TIPM issue. I think it's very common but most a few mechanics I spoke to including dealer didn't know about it & we're very surprised by my fix.

@@ReadySetAutismFamily I have maybe 180 on mine. When I got it at about 130k, it had a misfire that qualified for the extended chrysler cyl head warranty..So when I put the head on it I went ahead and did all the rocker arms, so aside from that TIPM repair I did for the no start, its been all good so far,

Hey bud, thats likely because nobody ever been asked this. You making it sound complicated. The camshafts used on the 3.6 Pentastar reluctor tone wheel will likely attract powder shavings on them from wearing out rocker arms. Most mechanics simply use a clean cloth to clean all the shaving/debri off. The main concern is not to let anything magnetized come in contact with the tone wheel or they could send out the wrong signals.

Online Mechanic Tips nah not trying too just wondering if you could clean them but for some reason I can’t read all of your comment

So don’t worry about them?

@@davidblankenship7599 If you have the camshafts out doing the rocker arm job, sure clean the powdered shavings of the tone wheel

So what kind of cleaning spray could I use carb cleaner throttle body cleaner or what

Thanks bud, I work out of a shop in the Atlanta GA area

I bud, I tend to always use OEM spark plugs.

Hey bud, thanks for watching..I cant recall how long it took..But because I have done a few now, it does not take long at all.

So i have a loud ticking noise in a 2019 dosge charger 3.6l VVT i know that it is the rocker arms so what im asking is there an easier fix? Its just wishful thinking

@@miguelguillen2145 I wouldnt say theres an easy fix but I would say this is not a hard fix. Still kind of early. maybe your car still under warranty? Please like the video and subscribe to the channel for me, thanks

Thank you for the video i was debating wether to ad an aditive or just bite the bullet and get on with the repair

@@miguelguillen2145 If its a hydraulic lifter problem, a additive may help. If its broken rocker arms, it will not matter. Did you subscribe to the channel for me?

No

Think this was a 2012 model

@@OnlineMechanicTips Oh ok. I had a 2012 before my 2015. I don't know how much truth there is to it, but I heard Chrysler "rectified" the 3.6 tick problem in models from 2013 and beyond. Honestly, I'm not sure, but like I said earlier, I've never had any issues with my 2015 model.

@@zephyr332 the complete valve train was redesign on the 2017 Pacifica minivan, its called the generation 3 Pentastar.. But you should knock on wood bud..For you not to have any major issues is great

Hey bud, yes you should remove voltage from the vehicle when doing such jobs. Not sure ive ever had a problem by choosing to remove the positive instead of the negative. But you def should remove battery supply. Thanks for watching.

@@OnlineMechanicTips it was hard for me to understand phenomenon too. it has nothing to do with the electron flows direction which actually flows from minus Pole to positive, yes it is physics and it is only people approach for easier understanding that current flows from higher 12v potential to Lower to 0v, ground, It is opposite.but that s not the point here. It is simpler. We disconnect negative terminal first only for safety reasons, ground is everywhere if your screwdriver fells on positive terminal while still in the car, it is more probably that it makes catastrophic short. Same when you start engine with discharged battery from a start cables and second donnor car. If you disconnect positive terminal you still have a risk to make unwanted short because ground is everywhere around.

Or what will happen?

lol, yea it was a rough busy day this day. I Think I ran 18 hours this day.
