Labor Day HEMI - Part 1 (Ram P0016 - Low Power DIAG)

[@H750S]

Had an instructor teaching about a case study he had regarding a timing issues on an engine. He had one really good tip that I try when I feel it’s warranted. He said that after the engine sits for a few minutes, start the engine up and look at the cam/crank pattern while it was cranking and compare it to when it’s running. If the solenoid is stuck open, the timing will be in time or close to it while cranking and then when the oil pressure builds after it starts u can see the timing start to shift. Had this exact problem on a Honda 4 cylinder that showed out of time constantly while running and idled rough. During cranking I could see it was shifted several teeth over compared to while it was running. Tapped the solenoid a few times and then the engine began to run smoothly. Figured I’d pass this tip along since it helped me figure out a timing issue without removing the timing cover. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. You’re a top notch diagnostician👍🏻

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Great tip! Usually if it clicks when you energize it manually, then at least it's not completely stuck :)

[@mikefoehr235]

Is the lack of oil changes the problem? That engine sounds like it has the famous hemi tick...I think it has a bad lifter or follower. Eventually will lead to a misfire code.

[@mikechiodetti4482]

If the phaser is giving problems, what else inside that engine is wearing down. Unfortunately I'm thinking front of engine teardown and a thorough inspection.

[@marcdrouillard4055]

I work at a Stellantis assembly plant and the phaser clean procedure just exercises the phaser through the full range of motion. if there is sludge or debris in the phaser it can clear that and solve the problem.

Ivan, I thought I'd let my brain rest this weekend. No so after watching this video. Looking forward to Part 2. Thanks for Sharing!

[@OzFrog48Z]

Try checking the valve timing with the pressure transducer. That will give you an actual value without dealing with possible variables like a shifted reluctor wheel or inaccurate sensor inputs.

[@nickmalone3143]

Where would that be hooked up to ...and whats your base reference ?

[@OzFrog48Z]

@@nickmalone3143 Pressure transducer measures cylinder pressure through spark plug hole similar to a compression tester. It graphs actual valve timing events on a scope. The results can be checked by looking up valve timing specs for that engine. Sometimes a shifted sensor ring or worn shaft keyway will give inaccurate sensor outputs to the pcm. Pressure transducer is 100% accurate. Takes a while to learn but is well worth it.

[@eurbanautotech]

I'll second that. If I have a suspected timing issue (especially on a single cam engine) I always grab an in-cyl pressure waveform. I'll also throw in an ignition channel, an intake pressure pulse channel and an amp clamp for relative compression. I'll do cranking and running. It's a "go-to" test for me that I do so often it doesn't take me much time to set up. I'll do a quick glance at the capture to see if anything jumps out. Then, later in my diag, when I have a suspicion about what the problem is I can reference back to my capture, analyze it, and find the confirmation. That's one of the things I love about scopes. You can analyze a capture and find the problem even after the vehicle has left! Cool video! I dig the depth that you go into these. We don't get much hard data on how these systems actually work so the only way you can learn is by messing about!

[@stealthg35infiniti94]

[@eurbanautotech]

Hemi's have a bad rep. I feel that's mostly due to lack of maintenance though... Change the oil regularly, use decent oil, don't idle it all day long, actually DRIVE it once in a while and don't let it overheat! There's a reason why "valve seat" rhymes with "overheat" !! Well, maybe not... but might as well be! :D It's so rare we get a Hemi in the shop for any kind of engine work. Dodge front end work... well, that's a different story! ;) Awesome video. Will definitely be watching the other parts.

[@paulpaquette1961]

A nice Gem in this one!!! Thanks Ivan!!!

[@blackcat31w]

Maybe you could stick and endoscope in the valve cover to look at a valve. Wiggle the crank back and forth while watching the motion of the valve. This could help verify the integrity of the crank to valve mechanical drive.

[@baxrok2.]

A fine labor day challenge. Thanks Ivan!

[@htownblue11]

Interesting case. My guess is the cam phaser has a problem “stopping” at correct adjustment point and over shoots whatever it is being told to do. 18 degrees is a good amount for sure. This one will be fun to learn about.

[@jeremyah78]

That is also my guess! It’s hard to tell with the audio, but I think that motor is noisy, which may be a phaser bouncing around. A stethoscope would probably tell that story accurately. Also, I wonder if a close look at the cam-crank waveform would reveal some flopping!? If no evidence on either of these fronts, i thinking dropping a pressure transducer down a hole would be my next move.

[@ThatEEguy2818]

In a pushrod design with a single cam, I'm having a hard time seeing how a timing chain could stretch that much without breaking. Overhead cams have long chains, but in this engine the chain should be short. Is not the cam located just above the crank? No guides required? Also, how does a stretched chain cause a cam advance? I think I would look up how many teeth are on those sprockets to see if a chain jump could produce what you're seeing.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

All great points. We will see very soon 😁

[@robertuitz4933]

There is a tensioner and a guide on this chain and you will have to remove the oil pump to see the crank gear mark.

[@robertuitz4933]

If the cam phaser is bad you can change it without removing oil pan and oil pump. You will need to mark the crank to oil pump housing to keep in time.

[@XtheUnknown99]

Stretched chains can jump gear teeth.

Very interesting case study. So far, signs are looking like possible excessive slack in the timing chain or bad phaser. I don't know what other data we could look at that can prove anything else. I'm thinking it's time to pull that timing cover and have a closer look. Can't wait to see part 2.

[@russellstephan6844]

*Always* check the oil... A neighbor brings over his mower one Spring morning complaining the thing won't start. I give it a couple of pulls. "Boy, it certainly feels sluggish on the rotation." I'm thinking there is a line or cordage rapped around the output shaft. But, I check the oil first. There was nothing on the dip stick. After the proper level of oil was added and a few slow lubrication priming pulls, it started right up.

[@fascistpedant758]

It's not unheard-of for a loose timing chain to skip timing forward. It seems to happen at shut down.

[@bob1117]

Retired mechanic here, when you first started the engine .....just from the sound from the engine i'm confident that there is excessive play in the timing chain ( chain has stretch due to wear, and yes we older mechanics can often tell whats happening with the engine just from the sound it is making :) you can hear the chain noise when the engine was running ) and or something is wrong with the chain guides/tensioners. This would throw off the timing. This vehicle does have about 114000 miles on it? has the original timing chain and it is well due for a change. Note: The FCA actually called a recall on the 5.7 Hemi (2009-2014 models ) on the timing chain guides. and you are correct, normally a worn chain or chain that has skipped usually will retard the timing, not advance. In any event, the timing chain, chain guides and chain tensioners should be replaced in this vehicle with this amount of mileage. I highly recommend you get OEM chain set, not some junk made overseas that won't last as long and of inferior quality. my 2 cents.

Wow..got yourself a seriously interesting one here... What's up with your waveform vs ROTKEE..(Ukraine btw). The notch on yours is still pulled high and the other known good is pulled down. I see it's Justin Miller's so I know that is a very trust worthy good waveform for sure. Something is weird here...either a bad sensor or wrong engine waveform. Yours reminds me of a 3.0L v6 or the older 4.2 v8 without having a notch. Guess I should move onto part 2 just to see what you found. Honestly, this one has me thinking ... 🤔🙄 See you on Part 2

[@somerandomguy3868]

I'm thinking without looking at the parts diagrams that if the guide ( timing chain ) is on the leading side of the cam and it might have two one on the trailing side as well, if the leading side guide failed wouldn't that advance the cam

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Effective chain length would be shorter on the non tensioner side so that would retard the cam... Took me a while to get that straight in my head lol

Book time is 7 hours for timing set R&R...I would rather spend an extra hour on diagnostics before quoting the customer ;)

[@teekay_1]

The only thing that makes sense is that if there's one cam on this truck, then the timing chain has slipped a notch which has pushed the timing in a direction which should be impossible under normal circumstance. The evidence for this is an owner who (apparently) bought the truck used, and hasn't even changed the oil. I'll bet under hard acceleration the chain slipped.
