Thank you so much for posting this (and all your Pentastar engine videos) ! My son and I were able to repair his 2015 Jeep Wranger "ticking" problem that had gone on for months. We did have to replace the bank 1 intake cam (badly worn lobe) because of a badly failed rocker arm. This video made it possible for me to understand how to release the timing chain tension with nothing more than a long thin screwdriver doing what the tension tool does. We also wedged a large flat blade srewdriver between the phaser sprockets, accomplishing the same thing the phaser lock tool does. Of course we marked the timing chain and held the cams with a wrench while loosening and tightening the phaser bolts. Actually an very easy and do-able job, thanks to you! Words of advise to everyone else.....move the transmission dipstick and move the dipstick tube out of the way by removing the upper hold down bolt and loosing the lower one, then lift out the tube. That will give you plenty of room to access the upper PCV bolt. Also, Loosen oil dipstick tube. Finally remove the fender flare and wheelwell liner as a single unit to gain easy access to the back the valve cover and lower PCV bolt, along with better access to the side of the valve cover. This simple step will make the job SO MUCH EASIER on a Jeep.

[@ChrisHodge1978]

Hey Greg, congrats on a successful fix. I'm currently in the middle of this job on my 2015 JK as well. I'm unable to get the tensioner released on the passenger side. I'm curious how you did it without the tool seeing how I broke the plastic one I just ordered. Kinda dead in the water until I can get that tensioner released.

[@jayk10304]

Trick: I work at the dealer too and I’m the main engine tech. Use the tool to compress the tensioner before you remove the phaser, and just leave it in place till your done. The block holds the cams in place for torquing/loosening the phaser bolts, you don’t need a wrench on the cam. The actual trick, you don’t need the tools, just the block, crack both cam bolts loose, remove the 1 your working on, loosen the other one a few threads and you can just slide the cam phasers all the way off without pressing on the tensioner, just keep the block in place and it’ll rest on the timing cover, and when you go to reinstall, use a wrench to rock the cams back and forth a little to line up the phasers notch on the cam. Doesn’t save much time, but maybe 6 mins? I do this job all day long, everyday lol… I turned about 16-24 hours a day doing these. Each bank pays me 8 hours, 1.5 hours diag, 6.5 for repair. I’m sure you know the shortcut to replacing the left bank head too, without removing the T/C, pays a good 16 hours and can be back on the road in as little as 5 hours.

[@OnlineMechanicTips]

lol, yes you guys are doing it over there. At my other shop Brothers Motors we lowered our rate to be cheaper than everybody else and still make a good profit. It works out great. And yes, when the camera off, all short cuts activated. The customer only concern with the end goal of a non-ticking engine.

I should not be able to rock the camshaft independently of the phaser, correct? I suspect I have a bank one exhaust phaser that needs replacing because I can put a wrench on the cam and move the cam back and forth easily while the phaser stays solid. I also have a P0340 code, and I presume the variable valve timing has been trying to keep the cam in the right place just through oil pressure rather than a mechanical lock.

[@OnlineMechanicTips]

Your assumptions are correct my friend. I highly suggest replacing that phaser. In fact, because there is know suggested time interval for phaser replacement, I started suggesting they get replaced at around 100k or when ever you are making a valve train repair.

This is my first time replacing a timing chain, on a 2015 malibu so i screwed up big time. i took the spark plugs out and turned the crankshaft a few times around trying to see if the marks lined up. I turned quite a number of revolutions out of stupidity. Then I took the chain off and turned the cam intake sprocket , (not loose from the rocker) around too thinking i could fix the timing by setting the mark at 10 o'clock, so it went freely. Then I tried to pull the exhaust pully also attatched to the the rocker arm. I was so stupid that i thought that rotating one at a time I could set them at 10 o'clock and 2 oclock, which is is the way they are supposed to be. Well, of course the exhaust I pulled with the chain, but when I took the chain off, it pulled right back. So now I know I have to losen the bolts to do it, but how do i start from scratch now?

Hey great video, I have a problem and hoping u have a answer. I removed cam after marking my chain and cam phasers at top dead center. I also put a cam phaser lock block inbetween the gears. But prior to all that, I was changing just the rockers and lifters on bank 1 side the intake because i found immediately the bad rocker. So i competed intake side and moved to exhause side and realized i couldnt remove the lifters because they were closer to cam than the intake side. So i ended up getting the block in place and painted chain and cam phazer while i was at tdc. I slid the cam phazer back just alittle with block still in place and removed cam and replaced all lifters on exhaust side and rockers and slid cam back in and lined cam phazer back up and slid it on. Tighten it all back up and removed block and turned crank and i hear a noise a couple of times as i turn crank. Now before i did intake side i was turning crank alittle forward and alittle backwards to get the lobes in the right spot to get rockers and lifters out. My question is, what might the noise be that im hearing while i turn the crank?

[@richardparker1317]

Chrysler tech too, been doing this for years. Great instructional and close up of the bolt used for collapsing the tensionor.👍

You have a video on replacing the timing chain guide on a 2015 Jeep Patriot limited 2.0 ? . I am doing my daughter’s vehicle, thanks for shearing a great video

[@anthonytumbarello9940]

Thank you, another great video!!!

[@rbarr1200]

I might be doing this soon. Can you include links to the special tools in you future videos please.

[@TWizzleMyNizzle94]

The first ones are the Rocker Arms/Lifters and the next is the tools used in this video.

I believe the Oil Control Valve Head socket size is 1 1/16.

2017 wrangler 3.6l. did head gaskets after completing assembly coolant is leaking into engine valley from one path 10mm bolts that hold the war pump to th timing cover. why don't the bolt go all the way thru. is there 3 different size bolts or just 2?

[@OnlineMechanicTips]

Damm, just seeing this, theres only 2 different sizes bud. You likely have a bolt out of place. O please subscribe to the channel sir, thanks

[@traversejones8347]

@@OnlineMechanicTips thanks for your time. As as a mechanic I know that's hard to come by.

[@alexanderrodriguez8143]

Hello. I wanted to know how do you know you have the chain on the correct tooth at the crank? What happens if it moves when you put the phasers on. Thanks

[@OnlineMechanicTips]

Is this a sideways engine? Also are you subscribed to the channel?

I got a question I just replaced two cams on bank 1 all rocker and hydraulic lifters and the cam position sensor two on a 2016 ram 1500 3.6 .. now it is throwing code p0344 and is causing the cel and tcl to both come one and puts the transmission into limp mode could use a little help thanks

[@OnlineMechanicTips]

Richard hiw many miles on it? Also are you subscribed to the channel?

[@savage_empire_ammunition]

@@OnlineMechanicTips yes I am it has Like 210000-22000 miles on it also I can hold the get the rpm’s up to 2000 and they start jumping

[@savage_empire_ammunition]

@@OnlineMechanicTips below 2000 rpm’s there is no jumping

[@OnlineMechanicTips]

@@savage_empire_ammunition Yes those are perfect symptoms of those cam phasers coming apart. This causes timing to temp show off and the traction light comes on..Dang, you should have replace those phasers when you was in there

[@savage_empire_ammunition]

@@OnlineMechanicTips so that would cause the transmission to go into limp mode and that damn p0344 code right

[@1983bigfrank]

@ online mechanic tips, I know you don't have all the answers especially not being on site but just a quick tip in what should I do. I am a DIY mechanical guy but I possibly ran into some problem with advanced timing p0011 actuator solenoid but of course that is not the actual problem so now I'm digging into my phaser and timing unit I'm searching everything listening for noise a small tick when engine is running but only like the ticking of a solenoid but I don't know if that noise is what causing the check engine light to even be on. After observing my engine the camshaft is not loose or anyting the engine is not dirty I change the oil once a month. The timing is in line with top dead center. The only thing that I don't really understand is the movement of the phasers to see if they're out of line or anyting. Or if they are stuck open or close. I haven't took the timing cover or phaser off yet what do you suggest I start at while I got everything else broken down keep in mind this car has 340000 miles never changed anything just kept the oil change very often

[@LSXperts72]

How did you lock the chain so it won’t jump

Not sure what you mean. Are you doing the rear head (right side) Also are you subscribed to the channel?

Where do I buy aluminum kit like the one you have there?

[@P.A.C.E.automotive]

Would you, or for you ever worry about the timing chain staying in time on the crankshaft sprocket? Do you ever have both cam sprockets off at the same time?

[@OnlineMechanicTips]

Yes all the time. With the cover still on in place, the chain will not come off the crank pulley

@Online Mechanic Tips: JT, can you please tell me what size socket you are using for the Oil Control Valve? A response would be very much appreciated, sir! Thank you for all that you do!

[@TWizzleMyNizzle94]

Am I reading it correctly? Is the Oil Control Valve socket size 1 7/16? The letters on the socket are quite small, but I believe that is what I'm seeing.

[@OnlineMechanicTips]

Yes or either a 36m.
