I can't see how oil is delivered to small thingy pin connected to "adjusting crank"...

Worn valve guide. ?????

Uncle Rodney sends h8s regards lol

GG Guys! Samaritans Do exist!

Thanks for the break down. I learned a few things .

Audi doesn't stand behind their products ...one more reason not to get one.

Manufacturers lose my business when they use this transmission. Will never own a car with a CVT.

Seems like 3.8 litres was a magic number for reliability and ubiquity of application for all of the Big 3.

Automatic transmissions are bulletproof, CVT's have gotten better but if you want a CVT transmission why not just belt drive it with an easy to change belt every 50,000 miles?

Humanity at work Good on you guys!!!

Ahhhhh Chrysler Quality at it's finest.

Looks like a failed casting

This is totally AWESOME what you guys are doing for this FAMILY

Oil pump is available through Melling. Part # K417

Thank you.

Believe me, as a Subaru Master Tech, those chains do sometimes come apart. No drive or reverse coupled with an Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor No Signal is a strong sign. Lately I’ve been seeing valve bodies fail and cause a similar situation, but no DTCs, the changeover solenoid or fluid circuit bleeds off pressure. The rate of failure on these transmissions is relatively low, we just see more because Subaru is pumping cars out faster and faster every year

So, it went down on power without any noise...? 🤣 Looks similar to what I did with my Slant six, BIG inspection hole, starter killed, even the wrist pin was damaged, looked like a tulip.. Con rod in small pieces... The crank was impossible to turn, without loosen the main bearings, it was so bent! So: always do a proper job...😁

Wouldn't surprise me if that engine was from a flood vehicle that got parted out.

Sweet V6 to VR5 conversion!

A combined 600,000 on a Buick GS and Pontiac GTP. No issues. Both purchased with GM employee discounts

aaaaah, so its pentastar. ray keeps calling it pennystar :D but then he also called solenoid a sillynoid, so we're kinda used to it by now :D

This dirty and dusty workplace is not suitable for assembling this type of engine. Please leave this task to others more skilled workers.

Great job and story guys. Both you and Ray are the best

That'll be $6.5k for valve cover reasealing

The chrysler cams of this Era failing were due to cost cutting measures when the big 3 were bailed out, and they seem to have still not reimplemented quality control, ive recently started refusing work on Chrysler, dodge, jeep, and ram vehicles, mostly I tell my customers to make it SEP and find something else the second it needs more than an oil change, plenty of knuckle heads out there that buy them private party with no questions asked and no inspections.

So finally, what’s caused the problem when the the engine just has 70k miles

The best and only good engine GM made 😂

When I work on my engine I look like you did!

That's really awesome that you guys are doing this

This minivan engine never should have powered a truck with a frame

I wanna see the whole project Cant wait for the next video

Would at least new rod/main bearings be installed? that would be a long term peace of mind

I didn't hear anything, I think they sold me some bad gas

Great tear down tutoring video. BUT this %$#*%# engine from Hell! once they signed dug own grave! But if can afford why not.

I have a 2013 T&C and a 2018 Grand Caravan, both had tilted or melted off to one side, spark plugs at 110,000 miles.

I don't understand why they say CVT'S are complicated to fix. Bet they could fix one, eazy peazy! OMG, this looks complicated as hell!

$30K for a motor when the car costs $75? No wonder GM LS motors are so popular. Dollar per HP is insane for German Cars.

"Engine Salad" served in an ether vinaigrette served in a small oil pan.

I love this channel. You are witty and your knowledge of a large variety of engines is unmatched. But, I have to say, every time you use a channellock backwards, a little piece of me dies inside...

That normie taurus, has the most convoluted and expensive modules built into their stupid radio, makes it so expensive to upgrade the stereo system

My guess is this Jeep drove at a little too steep of an angle, and starved the engine of oil just long enough to spin some bearings.

I have a question: Does the Gibli engine have the same ticking noises the pentastar has. Like the noise that makes the engine sound like a diesel truck the infamous ticking noise where you need to replace tappets and rocker rollers to make it go away, what about the low oil pressure. I want to know because i have a 3.6 in a promaster and is driving me crazy.

How have you not figured out to GET A PAN? lol

My van 3.8 was great. 1qt oil/10k miles. Solid. Great job Eric!

Erics laugh when finding carnage is priceless!

I actually love these motors, they're slow, noisey, they leak from every possible orifice but, they just keep going. Also so goddamn simple

Sorry for asking without researching but what brand of gloves you use?!?! I seem to be stronger than just about anything I tried before, thanks.

Woohoo, I asked for the 3.8l jeep engine back when you started doing tear downs! Thank you! Very cool to see the inside of my engine.
