Great video! You may have already figured this out but those tick & tack clicking noises you heard are coming from the rocker arm assemblies... probably both. There is a set pin at the end of each rocker shaft that shears off or wears down causing the shaft to shift back and forth. This causes a misalignment with the lubrication ports to the rockers which causes the noise. I replaced mine with new OEM assemblies and it fixed the problem. Glad to see there are people like us keeping these awesome 2005-2010 300s rolling along!

[@GibsonGarage]

I did not know that. Thank you

[@gokaneinthemembrane2745]

Watched the video from start to finish. And I don't even own a 300. Your content is thorough and compelling. Great presence on camera and captivating content. All that said,I have been considering purchasing a 300 that has a blown engine.

[@linuxxr]

those trans harness are different in that year for that 4 speed later trans has an additional plug that on some harnesses are not there . on this 2.7-3.5 swap im trying to finish after ordering 3 different sets of head haskets lololol. those harnesses are unique to this year,. we added the additional circuit by dissecting the original 2.7 harness and wiring into 2 splices and adding 3 pins to the computer connector

[@lukeh9028]

You got amazing patience. Love the mopar yard btw

[@linuxxr]

I FOUND A DONER 300 3.5L for 800 bucks from copart with a 5 speed and changed the oil pan ,,used the 2.7 flywheel on the 3.5 motor for my 4 speed and found an engine harness at a salvage yard an added the additional circuit for the trans. then i used the ac commpressor and ac lines from the 300 on my charger it all bolts up

[@doctorrs5317]

Great video! I would add clear instructions for timing the chain properly. Top dead center, during the compression stroke of cylinder #1, is very important, then align all the valve sprockets in that position.

[@Josephcarr11]

Literally the same thing I’m trying to do rn with my 2006 300 thank u so much bro👍

[@GibsonGarage]

No problem 👍

[@linuxxr]

i got a 5 speed tranny for that car

[@jaimecabrera2836]

Great job buddy 👍

[@yomajesty3523]

Hey sorry to ask but do you know the 3.5l flywheel torque specs by any chance?

[@user-lt9sn2kc3d]

Wish I watched further into this video, I did the same thing with the oil pans. I pulled the engine back out to swap them, set me back a few hours, but it's properly sealed.

[@GibsonGarage]

Glad it helped

[@thudson5086]

Damnit boy👍🏾 Great video

[@1pyroace1]

Don’t u need to upgrade the engine to nag1?

[@serbia991]

Get to the converter bolts threw the starter hole

[@austinvillarreal1791]

Dude it’s crazy you should be a billionaire you’r a genius.

[@globaldeception7414]

Thanks for this video.. I have a 2008 Chrysler 300 with 336,000 and I'm quite worried about the timing belt cuz I don't want the whole engine to be destroyed is there a peephole or a special whole I can check out the timing belt it's a good idea for me to replace all the Pully bearings.. I am second owner I got the car at 90,000

[@GibsonGarage]

The timing belt is supposed to be done every 100,000 mi

[@globaldeception7414]

@@GibsonGarage Yes. But this car went 70 k per year on freeway.. was not a a car that was started then driven few miles and shut down.. heat cycles are low. Cold starts imo kill timing belts .

[@austinvillarreal1791]

I’m looking to buy a 300 2005 for 700 . Low compression and it’s loosing oil pressure thinking burnt pistons do you think it’s profitable with just money for parts work done by me it would be worth it ? Thanks love the video

[@GibsonGarage]

Not sure

[@BOAT2NINE]

meese is crazy but great video

[@ryanlewis9274]

Where did you get the water pump seals for the back of the timing cover?

[@GibsonGarage]

Its the FelPro kit CS 9505-2

[@globaldeception7414]

There is a recall on valve lifters

[@mattsawyer42]

Wanting to do this but never swapped a motor before I’m going from a 2.7 4 speed to a 3.5 4 speed

[@angelf9800]

It can be done with some help.

[@linuxxr]

find a doner car with a motor/trans harness that ALL the plugs match an hah THE SAME NUMBER OF TRANS PLUGS AS YOUR CAR OTHERWISE ITS A PUZZLE

[@johnny7729]

If I bought a 300c with a 150,000 for $700 is it worth spending some money to rebuild the engine and start upgrading it?

[@sbedom0]

I got a 300c engine only got 2600 running hours 70k miles I could sell you the engine if interested

[@deshawn9234]

Awesome

[@rolandocalderilla4679]

Did the crank pulley brake? When u was trying to take it off cuz my did what should I do

[@GibsonGarage]

Use heat and penetrating oil. Grab the pulley from the center with a three jaw puller

[@AnyThingMotors]

I’m in the middle of swapping this same engine in my 08 charger

[@ghostdog2mg689]

Lol 08 300 today this video saved me Just need to figure out where to get the motor from LKQ Took over this whole area

[@AnyThingMotors]

Cool

[@KyleGreenhow]

great video! one question, how did you get the engine and parts so clean?

[@GibsonGarage]

degreaser and a brush

[@deganash7767]

How much did you spend on parts, and what parts

[@GibsonGarage]

I think normally you would expect to pay for pretty much complete tune including timing belt, spark plugs, coils, just for peace of mind on a motor you pulled from a junkyard, but in my case it was relatively cheap since it looked like somebody just did all that. I only paid for coolant and oil I think and some torque converter bolts

[@christianrees3073]

I have a 2005 Chrysler 300, it has a p0108 code and I might have to replace the engine, where do I get engines for it to make it faster? I don’t know what engines are compatible with my vehicle it’s a 3.5 v6

[@GibsonGarage]

Hemi swaps are a lot of work but definatly worth it and probably has the most support, for that reason most major auto dismantlers sell packages with mostly everything you need

[@linuxxr]

just fix it unless you need more hp

[@ginoizaguirre4185]

Its already out the car you should've just spent the money and put new head gaskets and sent the heads to the machine shop!

[@GibsonGarage]

That would have been a waste of money. There's nothing wrong with it. It's still running strong today

[@yankolandana690]

I have the same car but my engine IS dead I want a New engine but. Where I don't

[@Flatlandproductionz]

Did you ever figure out why it was tapping? Nice job by the way!

[@GibsonGarage]

It was just stuck lifters from sitting it's as smooth as a sewing machine now

Nope

[@broken2550]

I’m thinking of buying a Chrysler 300c as my first car but I’ve been hearing the engine is bad and things like that. Is that true. I’m thinking of buying the 2005 with the v6. Would it be possible to engine swap to a better more reliable engine. Is that even possible?

[@GibsonGarage]

I don't know about the engines typically I would stay away from it because of the year . It's the first year of that car on OBD2A platform. Too many computer issues. In 2006 most cars switched to OBD2B I had to change up everything electrical. So it is likely that the early models have much more issues than the later

[@broken2550]

@@GibsonGarage Would you recommend any year. And are there any years you wouldn’t recommend. I really appreciate it. Thanks man truly

[@LaneyTheOne]

stay away from the 2.7l as that is the problem child. The 3.5l is the more solid choice between the v6s

[@TheRealTreyPound]

I need to know what you did to fix the noise

[@GibsonGarage]

Held the gas ⛽ pedal to the floor 🚗🚨😂

[@Texaco28]

Think it’s lifter that but bad design ain’t get lubricated and worn out

Looking for a 3.5 AWD motor swap vid, anyone?

[@craiggerlach5548]

Cheapest AWD motor I could find was $900 with decent compression.

[@walsh7008]

why would you care about scratches on the inside of the engine bay? Nobody can see those with the engine installed

[@doctorrs5317]

Because that becomes a rust spot and kills the body

[@Yomender7126]

How is the gas mileage

[@GibsonGarage]

It seems fine

[@MrMany2811]

My daughter just got a free Chrysler 300 from grandpa ,i had to replace the driveshaft support bearing ,well a week later she was stranded on the highway , timing belt shredded just like your engine ,i was hoping for the best and just bought a new belt , tensioner and pulley and yeah no luck engine is toasted 😂

[@gregoryharris8706]

A Chrysler 300c demands a great amount of *RESPECT*.

[@SupremeDarkKnight]

This is not a 300c though.
