Chrysler Dodge 2.7L water pump replacement with timing chain, tensioner and guide breakdown Charger

[@soyews]

Done this job on three Intrepids. Almost the same. Good job

[@WDIO-RADIO]

Great video, it should be included with the Haynes guide for DIY shortcuts, I really liked the close-ups, super-infomative. Thanks!

[@larryjohnston52]

2004 2.7 GTC 145k miles. I'm gonna try the sparkplug pull and crank advise you offered because bad Cam and CRK sensor would have coded if bad. My only hesitation is Interference Engine.

[@FerKurl]

Yea see if there’s any liquid in the combustion chambers. That’ll cause your situation. Just had that on a lawn mower as well, bad float/needle in carb caused fuel to pour on top of piston. Acts just like a dying battery when that happens. Pull plug, crank, reinstall plug, fires up.

[@meganbowman4747]

Hi there! I have a question for you... I have the same engine in my Dodge Magnum and having trouble putting the new primary tensioner back in through the hole enough to screw the cap back on. The rear end of the tensioner sticks out too far. Any tricks? Advice? Do I need to tap or pound on it? Thank you!

[@Dc-1-2-5]

Im having the same issue on my sisters magnum did you ever find a way to get it in?

[@larryjohnston52]

2004 2.7 GTC 145k miles. Plugs out. No hydro-lock. Crank spins with a 3/8 drive now. I pulled front valve cover just to inspect. Very clean. Chains tight. It's like the starter hits a dead short between start/run circuit. 99% sure it's electrical. Starter won't spin !! Thanks for all the help.

[@FerKurl]

Good luck!!!!

[@weslambert9846]

After I set my timing and when I rolled the Eng over I noticed while turning I get slack on pass side then it tightened again is it normal. Thanks

[@walterrichardson43]

Do those marks on the secondary chains have to be straight up and down also?

[@davegibson3763]

The new timing chain doesnt have any markings on it????What is the next step?

[@ynotdoityourself3288]

So if no coolant coming out the weep hole and car no over Heating than the water pump good? Or you saying if coolant is in the oil it can still be the water pump ?

[@ronaldpotter3962]

good question, YES

[@pigghedd8245]

My timing chain cover is stuck on so bad, I’ve tried crow bars. It doesn’t make any sense idk why this could be

[@kyledevore871]

Im doing a complete timing chain, water pump kit. If i align all the tic marks on the passenger cam, driver cam, and lower engine, will that align the timing for the engine? My 1999 intrepid timing i know is off bc when dismantling, the chain was jumping. So im wanting to make sure. thanks for you videos, its helpful. toss some answer my way. thanks.

[@kyledevore871]

One other thing, which way are the cams supposed to be pointing?

[@FerKurl]

With timing cover and valve covers off, turn crank (which will also turn cams) clockwise until marks on cam sprockets (not chain) are pointing nearly upwards and crank mark is lined up. Disassemble timing components. Replace water pump. Install new components. When installing chain adjust cam/crank (should only take a small amount because your marks are very close) so that marks on chain match up with marks on sprockets. Your engine should now be in time.

[@dannisaurousful]

@@FerKurl so if i didnt mark my cams and sprocket and chain will it still go back in time just by the marks on the 2.7

[@tomo7347]

Hello, sir loved the video. i replaced the water and oil pump. my problem is the timing chain matalk. 2006 300 2.y I can't keep thew timing marks at 12pm .w camshaft moves when I move the cam to line the holes to put the bolts in sprocket

[@mtsanchez27]

How did you fix your issue?

[@bennydeal9603]

I have a Chrysler 300 2010 2.7 l harmonic balancer will not turn I believe the engine lock up check oil light was on could this be a timing chain issue or need a new motor L

[@FerKurl]

Could be a few different things. A cam could be locked. Component issue. Seized crank. Fuel/water/coolant hydro locking a cylinder

[@britneynicole9542]

What about the cam alignment when timing the crank

[@crapschamp4206]

The got to be aligned five points little dots on top of the cam gears ⚙ sleight up four.

[@caidenshafer6951]

Please help!!!!!!! Are there 3 holes, that look like they need bolts, but don't have it!! They looks like the larger holes. There are threads, but no bigger bolts?

[@caidenshafer6951]

I dont want to pull the pump if bolts just fell out!

[@FerKurl]

I believe there is 2 bigger holes without bolts through them

Some did my water pump no chrysler 300 2.7 and just turns won't crank over, what could it be?

[@FerKurl]

So it cranks and turns over but doesn’t start?

Ya

[@dcruz2491]

Yes

[@jgtjgt9768]

FerKurl, Why is the passenger side valve cover and foam soaked with oil?

[@FerKurl]

jgt jgt can you be more specific? On your vehicle? Under the plenum?

[@jgtjgt9768]

@@FerKurl I have a 2.7 Chrysler 300 changed the spark plugs and under the plenum, just like in your video(16:20 mins) the passenger side valve cover and foam had oil. Curious as to why, great video!

[@FerKurl]

jgt jgt oil can leak out of the valve cover gasket or seals or pcv hose if it has a crack in it. The foam is supposed to be there. Someone could have spilled trans fluid while filling, it’s right above there and a tiny tube

[@ronaldpotter3962]

is that blow buy oil pouring out of that upper manifold ? trade in that car, fast !

Hi. I have a question to. I have the same car 2.7 v6 Charger. But I can’t find the water pump with timing kit anywhere online. Only the kits for 3.5 comes up. Do you know where I can order the correct part?

Dude how did you get the timing chain cover out ?! I removed all 11 bolts n harmonic balancer of course as said but I'm struggling to get the case out. Help!!

[@FerKurl]

IF ALL bolts are out it pries off. Work your way around it prying. Sometimes they’re on there very tight and takes a lot of force. Be careful and don’t crack your cover

Can u replace just the tensioner

[@FerKurl]

The hydraulic tensioner on the passenger side? Yes if that’s your problem

[@fluidounce]

Thank you!! This video really helped me with a DYI. Had a failed water pump caused by chain slack due to the bad tensioner. I did have to do a complete tear down again due to not having the cam chains in time-these also have painted links that line up on their sprockets-5 points of timing

Water pump changed engine is timed. Should I recharge the AC before turning over engine? I'm not familiar Mopar to that degree

[@justamag3052]

Wish you could have showed us how you turned the cams and stuff it’s kinda pointless telling us about timing if you skipped a major part of it

[@FerKurl]

Oof. Sorry bro. Hopefully u got some good info out of the vid tho!

[@kiolittlestar]

Hey I got a question I have the same car and the guy took out the timing chain to replace the water pump now I am putting it back up and he said he left marks to align the timing chain to where it used to be but it’s not lined up with the line and arrows at all from the mark on the camshaft and arrows ? So which one should it be align to ?

[@FerKurl]

After the motor has been turned over the camshaft marks will change. Basically whenever you loosen or take off the timing chain you should reset timing completely. Always recommend using a new chain, tensioners and guides.

[@kiolittlestar]

so does that means the guy set the timing chain right then ?

[@FerKurl]

It is possible he set it right. If you do the job that way instead of resetting everything it’s easier to make a mistake in my opinion

[@FerKurl]

I mean it’s less likely to make a mistake if you reset everything properly with new parts.

[@kiolittlestar]

@@FerKurl thanks man that s helpful I guess I will have to trust it and run the car and see for myself

[@FerKurl]

thats a head scratcher, with the info youve given me ill try to come up with something, last time i had this situation it was coolant in 2 of the combustion chambers, pull as many spark plugs as you can (preferably all) disable fuel pump and spark (pull fuses) then see if it cranks over

[@FerKurl]

PS, you may have to reply back with a new comment instead of a "reply" for me to see it sooner, its a youtube thing
