Damaged Lower Intake! Plastic Threads! Jeep Wrangler 3.6 Pentastar Pt 2

[@johnkendrick7304]

I might be an older guy who's old fashioned but that plastic crap that you're dealing with on that engine looks like an absolute nightmare. I give you a lot of credit for being so patient and doing such a great job with that

[@CamoKing2012]

Yeah totally agree. I'd personally be more willing to pay more for a vehicle with less plastic

[@PeterHernandez-lg2eh]

Stellantis muy bueno company

[@andrewcastiglia9548]

Why make an intake out of metal when plastic works perfectly fine? It does not need to withstand crazy temperatures or pressures, it is roughly 30% lighter than steel and like 12% lighter than aluminum while having similar strength in most areas except for ductility which isn't really something you want to have in engine components anyway...

[@philsonnenberg6092]

New cars are already super expensive. Add metal/aluminum in place of all the plastic and you add 2--3times the cost for said parts. Granted the oil cooler as plastic was very silly. Just replaced my 3.2 cooler. Plastic was like $45 and the aluminum was around $200. So yea. Modern plastic is cheaper and just as good for alot of parts.

[@Havok135]

@tradde11 Its all about cost savings. Always has been when they started the whole 'Planned Obsolescence'. Nothing is made to last anymore. Now Im sure some engineer out there pitched the idea for the plastic oil cooler so they went with it. Now it took another company to make one out of aluminum so it wont happen. Its wierd anymore I know.

it was actually horrible though, i was amazed. first time in the years ive been watching, so im not particularly bothered but i was really impressed how awful it turned out

[@tsimpson007]

Ray as a retired 71 year old mechanic I think you do a heck of a job both as editor and mechanic. I love listening to you and watching you work. You express the same work values as I was tought and I tried to teach in my shop. I do not know how you deal with all that plastic. I am glad it was not there in the 70's. Tell all those kerans to just sit back and learn.

[@sammorgan2390]

When I was a young technician the older guys wouldn't show you anything or give you pointers so it really blows my mind that you are willing to show us so much

[@red_ben3487]

yup, the videos are fantastic. part of what gives me the confidence to do somewhat basic maintenance on my car and save a ton of money. changed spark plugs last weekend, next will be adjusting my valves at some point (AND HOPEFULLY FIX AN OIL LEAK IN THE PROCESS). if i dont have to disassemble a massive portion of the vehicle, ill do it myself. too bad changing the clutch on my civic requires dropping the front suspension.... ill pass on that. pardon my caps lock earlier... im typing this on a TV remote 🤣

[@wilbilt]

When I was a young tech, the old guys were constantly telling us to wear eye protection, ear protection, knee pads, back braces, etc. We laughed at them. Now at 61, I know they were right. My body sounds like Rice Krispies every morning when I get up. Snap, Crackle, Pop.

[@peterrschuck]

Totally agree. I wasn't shown much until I started working with an elderly mechanic in his late 50s I would guess in the predelivery area of a Ford dealership. He taught me how to use a screwdriver to listen to the tappets and engine noises. He was a really nice man. I did learn how to do a lot of brakes. Drums where done by the auto electrician, yes we haf a professional. Also had a professional panel fitted adjusting person as well. We did our own touching up of small paint chips that happened in transporting of cars. Didn't have white wrapping on them was some sort of film that was removed with white spirits. That stuff really dries out you hands. He also showed manual wheel alignment using a metal calibration bar. Bet not many remember those. I didn't finish 1st year failed jad to repeat. Copped a lot of flak over that. In those days you were an indentured apprentice so was hard to just resign and move on. Not like today's workers, cough cough. One phone call to the right ear got that fixed up quick smart. We also had vehicle testers who knew what they were doing to check every car was ok before handing back to the customers. I had the pleasure of cleaning the Principal Owners car every week, I was the only one allowed too and to drive it. He thought I did a job I was proud of, not just an inconvenience job. I understood his position as not just the boss but also the representative of the business to other business people. So a clean car was always an important thing too. He wished me all the best when I was leaving and gave me a small gift as an appreciation of always doing a good job. He heard from others I always did my best to do things right the first time, admit when I was over my head, instead of trying to hide it. And took excellent care of customers cars. I started at 15 just before my birthday and left just after turning 18 and joined the RAAF. I really liked that. But had to ask for a compassionate discharge due to my mum being ill and needing my help. A few months later I started studying to be a nurse. Loved that job. Didn't want to be always dealing with grease, oil and dirt as a mechanic so ended up dealing with blood and bodily fluids. Go figure. I think mechanics in those days did generally look after customers. These days they are few and far between unfortunately. I've had my fair share of duds.

Those who are watching these videos to make sure that they can critique excellent videography procedures, don't even get why they're supposed to be watching this video. I watched the first section, I got all the information I needed. I've been working on cars since 1964. You do a pretty good job most of the time. If I were concerned with excellence in videography, I certainly wouldn't be watching A Automotive repair video

[@kyzercube]

Ray, I replaced at least a dozen of these 3.6 oil cooler blocks last year and discovered the reason behind this specific issue. Dumbass oil change places like Take5, Walmart, etc. are not retightening the filter housing back properly and cracking them, hence getting new ones installed and the problem repeating while they're still " fairly newish ". These filers are not sealed relative to how tight they're tightened but rather simply the o-ring itself. There is virtually no gradient between loose and tight. The instant you feel it bump hard over tight, you stop turning it. We did 2 things to prevent this from happening again and you at least took care of one of them. 1: We replaced them all with the metal version. 2: Since the housing for the filter is STILL plastic, we told all our 3.6l customers to warn whoever is changing their oil to STOP tightening the moment the housing hits hard over.

[@rustbeltrobclassic2512]

Honestly it's so easy to change the oil on these things, the people with issues.. serves them right.. It's not rocket science to change oil.. though, some vehicles you do need to be a contortionist.. 😂

[@stevewhite3424]

​@@rustbeltrobclassic2512 I'll pass that along to the seventy three year old lady down the street.

[@therealanthony4978]

My 2010 Toyota Highlander 4cyclinder has a plastic oil filter container and the oil change place used natures lock tight so I had to break it off and buy an aluminum one

[@dt3510]

I’m I the only one that doesn’t trust an inch pound torque wrench . Transmission pan bolts - valve covers - scare me .

[@budlanctot3060]

That's what I suspected, too. The oem plastic filter housing female threads & the plastic cap with male threads & o-ring don't give you good tactile feel when tightening, so there is a tendency to overtighten them. It doesn't take much torque to seal the cap, so less is more in this situation.

[@michaelstoliker971]

Remember when we used to worry about aluminum heads warping? Now it's all plastic and we don't worry any more...LOL!

I looked into Amsoil for my 2019 VW Arteon (purchased new) but according to the Amsoil web site, their oil does not meet the VW spec required. I'm using Motul 5w/40 in it now. I used Mobil1 0w/40 in my 2011 Saab NG9-5T4 (purchased new) with no issues after 150K miles. I also had a 1986 Saab 900 (purchased new) for 15 years of ownership and used Castrol GTX 10w/30 standard motor oil and changed it every 2K miles. At the 150K mileage mark when they adjust the cam clearances, the engine looked brand new with zero sludge anywhere. Another great video Ray!

[@RSAF-rms]

Respectfully, and I am not affiliated with Amsoil, but I am a VW owner. Amsoil European meets and/or exceeds the VW "502.00" and "504.00" specs that are listed in the manual as required. I am using Amsoil European in mine (a Taos). I don't agree with "extended interval" oil changes though, which is part of those specs. I am still going to change the oil and filter between 3k-5k. I will be using that Rainman Ray discount. Thanks for that Ray!

[@GTVAlfaMan]

Ray, hello from Los Angeles, one good thing about filming your work is in case your customers give you an argument about what you repaired, what parts you used and any extra special work you had to perform to complete the job, you can sit them down and make them watch the video as proof that you performed quality of workmanship. Once they view your video that will shut them up. By the way, we all love oil drain and filter replacement videos!

Locktite makes some stuff called PST, (pipe sealant with teflon). It works awesome, Ive used it since the 70s on hydraulic pipe threaded fittings. Just a tiny dab is all it takes. A tube for you would last you years. Smells weird, and it's like the "tin man" effect similar to never seeze, but after the first couple times you plan for it. Plus you can always get the fitting out years later.

I told the owner how much I hated that thing and how close I came to owing him a replacement and he says I should have just done it lol. Apparently one of his friends sawed the end off the thing because he couldn’t get it out and said it’s infinitely easier without that section.

Any time you pull the valve covers on these 3.6 Pentastar you need to check the oil galley plugs below each cam phaser. They are 13mm and they are guaranteed to be loose. I red Loctite them back in. That is the root cause of the rocker arm failing. THe oil pressure that is supposed to go to cam is bleeding off back to pan through these loose galley plugs. They have been known to fall out.

[@rickb831]

I've been an Amsoil customer since my new to me 1979 Mazda 626 2dr was delivered to me with zero miles. We were forced to tear-down the top-end at around 50K miles because our post-mortem found that 1 of 2 bolts securing the cam chain tensioner was likely broke at the factory causing the cam chain to slip. Anyway, no interference was found on the pistons VS valves area. What was amazing was to find zero or near zero wear in any cylinder or cylinder wall, no ring ridges, nothing to note. Zero sludge in the heads - nada. I'm not the mechanic (BIL was the mechanic) and he was so impressed he became a dealer in the early 80's to advantage his forklift repair business.

[@moushunter]

When I do steam piping I use a teflon tape on the pipe threads which is topped off with pipe dope...which is also teflon based. The teflon tape helps to prevent galling of the threads in the fittings. The pipe dope seals the thread. Yes, the tapered thread should create a leak proof seal but the main purpose of it on brass to aluminum is to lubricate the thread to prevent galling.

[@ripsrt6822]

I learned the hard way when I was 16 not to put too much Teflon tape and over tighten sensors when I cracked an aluminum intake manifold on a 95 crown Vic. I was working at a car service so i had plenty of intakes to replace it with. 😁

We had a incredibly cold winter. Last spring I had a reliable mechanic replace a leaky transmission oil cooler on my wifes Chrysler minivan. It was the cheaper plastic one. 9 months later it started leaking again. Plastic gets brittle and does strange things when its extremely cold outside. Evidently the onring seals distorted from the cold. I spent $600 on that repair. If I had know about rhe upgrqded aluminum oil cooler I would gave requested that part be installed instead of the plastic one. This time around I replaced the oil cooler with the entire aluminum one. I did the entire repair job myself educating myself before hand by watching videos like this.

[@stevenhogan8476]

Just one comment Ray, when using Teflon tape on NPT threads I was taught to never cover the first & second threads with tape because the taper tends to cut the tape as the fitting is screwed into male corresponding fitting. This can cause pieces of severed Teflon tape to become free to restrict flow or contaminate pumps and valves. Just a thought . I do enjoy your channel and have learned a lot viewing your videos. Thanks!

I am impressed by the care you take to ensure that all the hardware that is taken off goes back on (and sometimes some extra). Too bad the people who work for Boeing don't take the same care... or maybe the last guy to work on that Jeep was a Boeing mechanic.

F anybody who complained about the editing. If it bothered them that badly in their shorty shorts, they had the option to cease viewing. Thanks for your efforts on our behalf. Better than anything on tv.

I've been a Castrol synthetic oil person since 1991. Got a 20 yr old Camry and it runs beautifully.

Embrace the critics, for their noise signals that you're onto something big. Let their words be the fuel that propels you forward, undeterred by their noise. Remember, while they critique, you're the one leading the way. Keep shining, Ray! Regards from California.

Such vicious viscosity content!!! Thanks again Ray for awesome material! Proud of what you and your family have accomplished! Your hour long videos keep me coming back for more!

This seems to be a issue with the 3.6. I have done several. The Dorman part is better. I did one with an eBay part the customer brought. Started to leak about 4k miles later. Thank you Ray for another good video. Keep it up !

[@IGSpawns]

The edits didnt bother me on the last video. I still fully enjoyed it. Thank you for the videos Ray

I learn a ton watching your Vlog and you take the mystery out of why parts and repairs fail! I send you a big appreciation for everything you do (except the PT Cruiser... so many PT repairs) Ha!

[@aj383]

Even with upload artifacts, you're creating an invaluable resource library of repair. Thank you!
