From Pulling The Engine Out To Learning How To Do A Valve Job.

Traded a mud toy jeep that did run for this one that I thought was going to be a simple fix. Wasn't at all in the shape I was hoping for but I had to pull the engine to check it out which leads to a full re-build. I only re-build the heads in this video. Just days at my job. Hope you enjoy and learn something!! Thanks and comment ideas!

That solenoid controls whether the fan gets full pressure or not to control fan speed. Homeboy was adding another few rides to that rig before it got cooked, he knew what he was doing when he sold it. I wish you were making 4.7 videos 10 years ago when i bought mine, would have saved me a lot of time and money.

[@dexjs]

I bet you are right!!

[@dansharp8042]

You sir have taught me more about my Jeep than any book.......Thank you.

[@freedomfarms5960]

Justin is old school I dig it I worked at a cylinder head shop for about a year learned a lot. Did a lot of 4.7 heads

[@jakelanning6882]

Hey dex I believe I may of sold you one of my jeep I recently sold my 1997 2 dr xj And the people who bought it told me there son had a KZbin channel and that there son had around 700 xj I think what your doing is awesome keep doing amazing things

[@DocJeep1]

[@chrismarsh9978]

[@rudybishop9089]

Hay Cuz - greetings from California - cool stuff - your livin ah dream - ah Jeep dream, carry on.

[@dexjs]

Hey, thanks much. I enjoy!!

[@MrT00kie]

Not sure if youll get this comment. Hopefull anyway. I have gone thru a couple of sets of 4.7 heads. Each set dropped a seat. Didnt catch this until the second set dropped. My question is can i stake or peen the seat and thatll be sufficient to keep the seat from dropping? Hope you get this. Totally enjoy the content cause thats the way I'd fix things.

[@beckybird5367]

I love your videos, very infomative, funny attitude, so it makes the video interesting and educational.

[@lsxs10e90]

I like when you say warsh it makes me think of sling blade

[@austinthomas3689]

Awesome video man 👍 love the engine building videos!

[@cooders71]

You and your brother are polar opposites when it come to motor builds lol. I understand both of aspects and used to use your way, now that I've gotten older and have gotten tired of doing things multiple times, I'm with your brother now. Anyway, I really enjoy watching your content. You doing a good job man.

[@CharlesMayes-m4r]

Just bought an 02 Cherokee Limited with the 4.7 h.o. . Enjoy the videos.

[@danielheadrick7286]

Love the videos. Keep up the good work. Love to bring my jeep to you for a week for mods. And make my 4.0 a stroker

[@danielmcclain1573]

Great video Dex !! Keep em coming 😎

[@czemeres13]

Great video 🎉

[@ethanhallecho]

[@v12alpine]

Love the engine vids.

[@julianmcclellan8280]

Keep up the good work man! The followers will come

[@ttttfrrrt-fw9nr]

Love the content

[@daymianhayes2493]

The 4.7 in my Dakota has 250k miles and still runs like brand new. I changed the timing chains, tensioners, lifters and injectors at 200k miles. I religiously changed the oil on it every 3000k miles since i owned it.

[@kevinfreemanfreeman]

Really enjoyed this video learned a lot on the 4.7

[@nicholas5623]

Was just running then it quit on me. Always means $$$ to me as a mechanic lmao. Like I tell them, u don't gotta lie to me. I'm here to help u lol😊

[@GrupaNation]

Just started the video. There better not be any 4.7 HO slander or im coming to Tennessee to say some really nice things to you 😅

[@fastinradfordable]

Shame insults and the need to be right😂

[@Mrsalvage28]

Could be a great jeep it's on great shape many new parts you would love it

[@williampetit314]

Same thing happened to mine. I was literally driving it to work and it quit running. Thought it was an electrical or fuel issue at first. Nope, dropped the valve on the driver side head.

[@tomtheman91]

Ive had some high miles on 4.7 one 275k and one was 320k heard they dont like if you dont keep up on the oil changes. The one i did have to replace the valve lash tensioners. But i like them good motors not a tough as a 4.0 though.

[@willcrosbie8806]

I’d watch everything regardless

[@jtbuilds9176]

Only one available in the country? The local parts store sells rebuilt ones and they have an unlimited supply on hand with 4 year warranty. I just bought two at $4k each and have a used one in my garage with 30,000 miles on it with brand new heads. Possibly you dont live in the United States?

[@jtbuilds9176]

P.S. Mines an 02 overland 4" long arm lift and not all beat up on 33s with a clean title 2nd owner.

[@fastinradfordable]

Why then hell do you have 4 engines.

[@jtbuilds9176]

@fastinradfordable Because I am about to do a scat build on one with a Eaton m90 bolt on kit. One just got installed into my 02 overland and one is a spare so if I blow up another one I will only be down one day. All are H.O. with og blocks. But not sure about the 4th since I said I have 3.

[@peterhand4418]

Use dyekem on the head surface help see the imperfections

[@landontesar3070]

have a 2002 ram 1500 with the 4.7. It was good til upper radiator hose blew and needed head gaskets. That was 8K miles ago, now at 186K, will see what we can get out of her. Truck is a bit heavy for the 4.7.

[@ThatLow_Slow5.3]

Bud heads just don’t blow when a rad hose lets loose you just didn’t pay attention and over heated your engine

[@landontesar3070]

Thanks for your helpful insight@@ThatLow_Slow5.3

[@rustypotatos]

Next level

[@oryxr5354]

I got a WJ with the standard 4.7 as my first car, I bought it knowing that it had an issue with the valves, this was before I knew of the common issue of the seats dropping, engine's been sitting in a crate for over a month, engines are darn expensive to fix and my heads are mangled

[@carlt6932]

They make a new bare head. It says CHINA on it. I think I got them out of Florida. It comes with a guarantee. It says I guarantee that you will crack this head too.

[@hannahvaipulu3631]

DEWALT GET THIS GUY A SPONSORSHIP

[@NotAYoutuberAtAll]

Hey Dex, I'm a fan of yours in Australia and I'm driving a 1995 XJ Grand Cherokee 4.0l I6, I am curious as to a couple of issues with it, 1. when Braking going down any steep decline it gets the death wobbles, 2. when starting it I have to wack the fusebox, I'd pressume that'd probably just be a short in the wiring or a faulty connection somewhere? also the accelerator is sloppy as all hell, practically touching the floor

[@carlroediger4195]

Seems like more 4.7 knowledge is needed. Some seem to like them some hate them. I have 2 bad HOs in works right now but loved my old 4.7 durango, had zero issues..

[@rustypotatos]

Do you go back at this puppy in another video I can’t remember if I watched it already?

[@djfaber]

Pick up a used Bridgeport for the surfacing

[@richwood8650]

Dex, hope you dont mind. I nominated you to go play some games in Utah. Games are in March. Hopefully you are on board. I know it would definitely boost your following. Good luck in whatever your decision is of you get invited. Have a blessed day! The channel is Matt's off-road recovery. If you're interested, have your friends go to the channel and nominate you as well.

[@cbforme]

You know you brother teaching how to work on you own stuff so he can work on more profitable stuff

[@Mrsalvage28]

I have a 4.7 ho 04 jeep an o don't know what to do with it cause it has a bad blow by seal but runs super strong and I know it's a special motor an wiling to sell it or learn how to fix it

[@fastinradfordable]

4.7 is not special Unless you mean special disabled childrens class

[@tommymcneil1830]

Your own brother said the motors 4.7s are junk lmfao 😂

[@SCTTanielu]

0:25 what mounts are you using to mount the light pods

[@suzsam17]

What is your opinion of the 4.7 ?

[@peterhand4418]

Do you vacuum test the valves

[@petercapuano3418]

The up was the compression stroke and the help squeak was the intake stoke sucking the cap down and sucking through the vacuum relieve at some extreme cfm vaccum pump just game me an idea for a super high but only maybe 21 in high super speed cfm 1000 vaccum pump for maybe sucking out oil and stuff I want one

[@nathancortez9737]

So I just got a 4.7 HO what’s wrong with the engine it’s self?

[@twoguys1kid782]

I got two of the 99 2000 4.7 s 1000 $

[@Swagolisious2]

[@alexduke5402]

It's called peening

[@timothyproksch2915]

Sounds like a bird

[@tommymcneil1830]

Hate the 4.7 worst motor jeep ever put in

[@mikereeves5376]

Hey Dex, I have a 4.7L 2002 with about 175k that is in good running condition, the body is rusty but everything works good. Would you be interested? VIN 1J8GW68J32C183353 I'm currently working on a 97 Cherokee 2 door sport.
