How to remove replace spark plugs and valve cover gaskets on Chrysler 300 dodge magnum hemi 5.7

[@wrathofpaulii]

I love seeing these videos that get straight to the point without any fancy music or editing. lol

[@williamcattr267]

Excellent!!! That is how I want to see a tutorial, start off by telling us what size socket we need for a particular fastener! Thumbs for for doing that!

Appreciate the content 💯 I have a 5.7 hemi saving labor money with your videos 😅

This is the perfect how to video!! "Do this, do that, do this!! When I start doing videos this is how I'm gonna do it.

[@JM8686]

Thank you brother 🙌

Hey Thanks, I had a pita Driver Side Valve Cover gasket leak for a long while on my 5.7 finally got it to stop, this was the problem: What i found for mine was the rubber bushings on the valve cover studs were all too far gone rotted to be reused so when i tried to just change the gasket without new stud-bushings it just continued to leak. Getting new rubber stud-bushings and doing this (pita) job a second time (yeah I know) worked. hopefully the point about the new stud-bushings helps out someone else to not have to do this job twice like me. (also some spray gasket adhesive for the valve cover gasket made re-installation about 1-million times easier).

Thanks for sharing

Bout to have to do the gaskets tonight, Thank you so much for this Tutorial!!

This is the best video he explaining everything good job

[@kenbkooln9289]

Great video. Trying to build myself up to replace mines.

[@megumin5655]

I really want to attempt this on my 05 hemi magum im a lil nervous tho

[@jensonhartmann3630]

Excellent video! Get a headband mount for your camera so you can use both hands on your project instead of holding a camera. it helps even for a 10 minute video. Great job bud.

[@JM8686]

Great idea 💡 thank you 🙌

[@foxman3910]

Ok so that extra lip on inside of valve cover is that put on with it at bottom then ? Where you put new gasket on theres only one side that has a lip .

[@domenictv2880]

How you get that back screw on the passenger side valve cover

[@JM8686]

With a 1/4 swivel or a small wrench nd by hand

[@domenictv2880]

@@JM8686 thanks.. the passenger head i hate. Them back screws on the valve and the head always give me trouble

[@JM8686]

Yeah they sucks 😕

[@BodyWeakDotNet]

That's what i was trying to see?? We saw everything but that! It's doesn't look like even changed the passenger side at all...

[@eldestrug3430]

So how did you get the bottom studs? Because I cant get to them with either of my deep or shallow sockets, and they don't make stubby wrench's that small.

[@michaelsmith7818]

Supposed to tighten valve cover starting middle going outward

[@JM8686]

True but never do that nd haven't have a leak yet lol Thanks for watching

[@YoungAmzn]

one question when doing rocker arms are all 4 arms on each side the same ?..

[@denissegb8918]

i really needed to know how to remove the fuel injector connectors. Mine don't budge.

[@benjilara6155]

How did u get the back bottom corner ones out !???

[@F32Kyle]

How did you get the back bolt off on the passenger side ?

[@5300trilla]

I used a swivel and extension. Usually just to break to bolt loose. Then I’ll use my hand to do the rest

[@nandoohemi1152]

Where’s the other part of the video ?

[@Jayhuncho214]

Do u have to take off coil packs in order to take off the valve cober

[@JM8686]

Yes sir 🤘

[@cliftonsargent1572]

How do you take the engine cover off to paint or put a new one on?

[@JM8686]

You mean the top plastic one or the valve covers?

[@cliftonsargent1572]

@@JM8686 the plastic piece that has the badge label on it

[@JM8686]

Just pull it up Don't think that it got any 10mm bolts on top

[@RolandoGonzalez-rz9ov]

Do we disconnect the battery?

[@JM8686]

Yeah

[@jolu7019]

why did you not change spark plugs when you had the valve cover off ?

[@seandp85]

All I did was get a Milwaukee hand saw and cut the front 3 passenger side bolts studs off so I could reach it with a shallow socket, and the one in the back against the firewall was the easiest, i just stacked about 3 extension and stuck it through the harness wires. I replaced the bolts that I cut the studs from dealer for about $4 and save myself the headache and I also cut the new studs off also to save myself in case I have to do this job again

[@JM8686]

Whatever it takes 🤣👏👏

[@Name-io6dk]

That's pretty smart cuz I noticed that the guy who made the video didn't show the the most difficult part of the job either

[@seandp85]

@@Name-io6dk the passenger side is really hard, to get to the last bolt closest to the fire wall I just stacked about 2 extensions and guided it through all of the wires

[@Name-io6dk]

@@seandp85 how long did it take you to finish the passenger side

[@JM8686]

All i use is 1/4 8mm socket nd 2" to 3" extension nd the 1/4 ratchet too

[@lsxbird7874]

What is the part number on that matco spark plug socket set? I want to get that tomorrow on the truck lol

[@JM8686]

Don't remember the part number but will try to get it tomorrow! 13b_dorito my Instagram

[@beastfromtheeast9318]

Passenger side is a bitch because the wiring harness is in the way. The driver side is easy.

[@ZanyT567]

It's really unfortunate that you didn't show how you managed to remove the back, lower valve cover bolt on the passenger side. I have tried every combination of swivel and angled tool I have and nothing can get to that bolt with enough clearance to remove it. Edit: alright, figured it out. Look for the large bundle of wires going from the fuse box back into the firewall. Then look for the strut bolt cover, its corcular cover right over the strut tower. You can reach behind that cover and then over towards the valve cover and theres a big enough gap above/below (cant remember) that bundle of wires. You'll need a 6 inch extension, a universal joint, a 9 inch extension and your ratchet and socket. Put the socket onto the 6 inch and then the universal onto the other end. Work that into that gap and get the socket onto the bolt. You can reach with your other hand over the valve cover to help guide it. Then hold it there and you can connect your 9 inch and ratchet to the universal. Hold the socket into the bolt with one hand and turn the ratchet with the other. Make sure the locking ball on your extensions and universal hold on tight, otherwise youll lose your 6inch extension and 8mm socket down into the engine bay... Ask me how i know. If a slight bump knocks em off youll lose em. It can be a bit of a jerk to break it loose like this, i was able to do that with an indexable ratchet with a very slight angle on it and a socket that was just the right length (actually a 3/8 to 1/4 adapter and a 1/4 8mm socket). Also, i had to undo the connectors onto the fuel injectors, and disconnect the 2 connectors at the front of the valve cover and pull out all of the plastic studs holding the wires. Then i had to put the wire bundle over the fuel bar to get it out of the way. When pulling the cover itll get stuck on the dipstick tube, pay attention to whats getting stuck there, you can pull the tube a bit to get it out the way. ALSO, dont use a Fel-Pro gasket for this, order OEM from Mopar. The Fel-Pro leaked terribly, so I had to redo this job with OEM gasket. Clean the mating surface on the head with microfiber.

[@ariloslav]

the valve cover must be pressed evenly by tightening the bolts in the correct order - according to the instructions!

[@ahmedjimenez9414]

Guys help me out, does this stop oil from leaking? I have that problem and they told me it was the valve Cover

[@JM8686]

Yes sir

[@KRTube75]

Oh dear. Clean that engine bay. I also recommend a tripod. Otherwise, great video.

The hard side is the passenger, showing this side is absolutely useless!!!!!!

Why u let your engine get that dirty ? My engine is as clean as my car
