dodge 2006 2.4 head removal and cylinder inspection

in this video i get the head removed off the dodge 2.4 stratus motor and look at the cylinder walls and look at the head for any obvious problems.now its time to move on to clean and prepping to put it all back together.

More of a description of what you’re taking off, why you’re taking it off, how to take it off would be awesome. My head blew in my car. As far as mechanics go I knew a fair amount however I’ve never taken anything apart. I’ve watch it some what from a outside perspective but that’s it. I’m a single mother and can’t afford a shop. I’ve decided to do it myself. There are limited videos or resources and what is available doesn’t give a whole lot of explanation. I under the knockers, crankshaft, manifold, etc coming off. However, I don’t know much more then that. Any advice I would more than great full to hear.

[@tlcbear2]

Don't change nothing your doing great! You are being you thats all that matters.

I have an avenger with the same motor. Shade-Tree skilled not certified.. But I have what sounds like a lifter tap. Need to know what to do even though I'm about to do a head gasket replacement. Is there something I should look at

[@tlcbear2]

been to long since i worked on it to remember all the little things.

[@shawnpeterson1777]

Are the head bolts right or left hand thread on the 2008 dodge avenger 2.4l

[@tlcbear2]

sorry im not sure on that.

[@pop112789]

Your not going to able to please everybody.your videos are fine. I like them 25-30 min long..and that is a asome drop light from sears i have one has a magnet and plastic hook...to everbody watching and viewing give this guy a like each time you watch its easy..this is a good guy help him out.

[@tlcbear2]

thanks.yea i forgot to say the flash light has the base and hook sure do come in handy.well i have my youngest back home now so i hope to have help in the shop now even if its getting tools to help.less time i spend getting up and downto get tools more i can get done.

[@DriveShaftDrew]

i really do think pulling the motor would have been easier then having to fight everything, that way you could have re -gasket-ed it complete and checked the bottom end as well but like they say it is what it is

[@ryangeorge7793]

On this motor, do you have to remove the timing belt to get the head off?

[@tlcbear2]

yes you do

Small engines that run at high RPMs are going to wear out faster than larger low RPM engines.

No ideas on how to get more likes. I always hit like on your videos when I watch them but usually am a few weeks behind because I just can't seem to find the time to watch all the videos I am subscribed to daily.

[@jayq6767]

I replaced a broken/leaking valve cover gasket and spark plug seals this weekend on this motor. Same year. I know I'm late on the video. Mine has 158,xxx miles. What I would have liked is if you used the tripod for the camera. Maybe tell us why you are doing what you are doing. There isn't too much about these motors on KZbin so please keep up the great work. I've subscribed so I can keep up with new stuff. Are you still running this car?

[@tlcbear2]

thanks for sub. we ended up selling the car and we know where its at and they are still having great luck with it. we sold it because the wife health it was getting to hard to get out of.

[@BigSlab60NHC]

better camera angle would really help somethings i can't see what you doing

[@bentarded2473]

So what ever happened with the car. Looked and didn't see part 2 . Have the same problem with a avenger wondering if it's worth the time.

[@tlcbear2]

the car is running yet today. my daughter is driving. im not sure what ever happen to the rest of video i know back when i worked on it u tube killed a couple videos that they said had music in them it may be one of them.

[@black85chevy]

Don't change nothing bear if folks don't like it o well you're just bein you. Not putting on a show or a front. That's why I watch.

[@tlcbear2]

thank you.like i say i try to keep it real and not hide all the mess ups and make it look to easy cause in real life some of these repairs take longer on older or used cars and you end up fighting rust.

[@tom95521]

To improve your videos maybe try pointing to the parts with a cheap laser pointer?

[@shakes7339]

Flex fuel vehicles have a yellow gas cap.....unless someone has changed it. Vehicle Emissions Control Information label under the hood. Test group no.# is just below the engine size " Group XXXXXXXXXX" 12th Character P through V is flex fuel. I don't think the 2.4 was ever a flew fuel.

[@IRONMAN-kb4su]

Put it back together best ya can and dump it quick $ , let someone else worry about it . You put to much into it your gonna lose $ .

[@Redgonetogray]

A Mr. Bibs return ? Have do a minor repair on a vehicle. Lol

[@tlcbear2]

might just have to do that again lol
