Damaged Lower Intake! Plastic Threads! Jeep Wrangler 3.6 Pentastar Pt 2 https://youtu.be/J9IyLh2QPgo
Today we have a Jeep Wrangler Sahara with the 3.6 Pentastar engine. The customer states engine oil is leaking and it is a large leak. Be placed the jeep in service mode and began the inspection. It was found that engine oil was leaking off of the valve covers, after lifting the jeep, we found more oil on the back side of the engine and on the transmission. The intake manifold was removed and then the lower intake manifold was removed. Engine oil was found pooling up in the valley between the cylinder heads. The oil cooler assembly was then removed and inspected for leak sources. The o rings were found to be deformed and leaking engine oil.

    You would think, erroneously, that a big rectangular open top engine bay would have plenty of empty space for working around the engine from all sides…I guess they look at it and think…what kind of big plastic box, wiring harness and tubes can I cram in that free space?

    "Jeep Ducking" : The act of placing a rubber duck on someone's Jeep—called Jeep "ducking" and/or "Duck Duck Jeep"—began with one person, named Allison Parliament, from a small town in the Canadian province of Ontario. She unknowingly started a movement of kindness, fellowship, and recognition with that first rubber duck she placed on a Jeep.

    Allison's reason for perching a little yellow duck on a Jeep Wrangler just like hers that she saw in a parking lot was simply to bring herself a small sense of joy after a frightening verbal and physical encounter with someone earlier in the day. Two years later, that single gesture has morphed into the Jeep ducking craze that has swept throughout the Jeep enthusiast community in the United States as well as in nearly a dozen other countries around the world. What does it mean if you've been ducked?
    “I think it's essentially like giving someone a flower, to say I just appreciate what you got going on, and keep it moving,” said Ward. If you have one, it means you've been 'ducked. ' If you get one, the kind gesture means someone likes your Jeep, or just wants to put a smile on your face.

    Ray you were talking about hoping your customer didn’t make this repair and making fun of them. I kind of had the same thing happen. I am a mobile heavy equipment, tech, and I drive everywhere. Well in Atlanta traffic, I didn’t road rage, but I was discussed with someone driving near me. They cut me off. I was mad wanted to tell him how bad the driver they were. But I didn’t. Then I realized when I pulled into my first job, it was my customer. After that I am very careful who I externalize my anger towards. 😅

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars @kimkeam2094 says:

    Ray, I know that Jeep is not your favourite, but in Australia mechanical support and knowledge how to do it is sadly lacking. If you buy a Jeep here you either buy 2 so whilst one is broken down and you are trying to figure out the faults, there is a spare vehicle to drive. Jeep dealers are the least knowledgeable mechanics and YouTube is the first advice you look for. Jeep Australia is the second worst company here for warranty claims so going to them for any support isn’t worth it. Please consider doing more on Jeeps to help us out. Thanks

    @RainmanRaysRepairs I noticed that you didn't mention one of the most common issues of the Pentastar engines, the rockers arm failure which causes a ticking noise and after a while it destroys the camshaft lobes. I hope this is one of those items that you check but don't bother to film.

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars @GrantWilliams66 says:

    JEEP 🚙 One question WHY???. Do people like your design and engineering folks ever think just a little down the road when your defective products need to be accessed. So all that money spent on one bolt.

    Ray. Don't worry over the feelings of whomever did the prior work. "Either you Know, or you Don't Know." The poorer the Design, the more difficult the job becomes. You have the touch, meaning that you know to handle metals, plastics, gaskets of different types, etc. One mistake can result in a failure. Because of bad design. These vehicles are way more difficult to fix, than they first present. The owner should be glad you are Saving the vehicle, which looks nice on the outside. Somebody bit off more than their level of expertise. They tried, but they just were not ready for prime time. We all start somewhere. You are at the Very top…..the rest….well, they gotta learn to watch all the videos!

  67. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars @herjeeplife says:

    I recently did this exact job on my friend’s 2015 Wrangler. Both valve covers were leaking but the there was something bigger leaking as evident from below, just like this Sahara. I tore down the intake manifolds and found lots of oil in the valley too. They had upgraded to the aluminum oil filter housing a year prior. I originally was diagnosing and repairing a 5V ref intermittent fault that I was able to trace to the oil pressure sender. The oil cooler was leaking oil between the cooler and the housing, not from the housing unit itself. Those Dorman figure 8 replacement seals are crap. OEM seals for the housing and cooler are red. I noticed how stiff the Dorman figure 8 seals were compared to OEM. As soon as you turned the cooler sideways, oil poured out of it. Also, the Sahara’s driver side valve cover was replaced with, what appears to be a Fel-pro gasket kit, as their spark plug gaskets are brown. The OEM valve cover gaskets and cam sensor seals are black, as seen on the passenger side. The Fel-pro cam sensor gasket is blue as seen on the driver side. Therefore, only the driver side valve cover was previously attempted to be fixed. Be sure to replace that PCV valve as that’s part of the problem under that valve cover. Great work!!

  73. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars @LS-uv9gg says:

    What a nightmare! These stupid engineering designs and lay out choices pretty much guarantee the customer gets screwed multiple times over. First, they get fleeced by the initial sales cost, (Salesman: "But it's only $385.00 a month for 152 months!") then they get it again through component failure, then when they find out the insane cost of repairs, they either don't get them done and it eventually leads to full on break downs or accelerated issues with even more chain reaction costly problems, or they go the cheap route and have ham fisted "mechanics" break/destroy/incorrectly perform shoddy work trying to fight through a ridiculous bramble patch of millions of delicate fasteners, wires, hoses, impossible to get to spots, then using even worse knock off cheap replacement parts, or huge costs using expensive real mechanics and obscenely expensive parts.

    With the cost of getting or even finding a qualified mechanic to fix things, you're going to see a lot more botched DIY jobs. And what brainiac thought up that useless oil cooler assembly? Not only is it made of plastic, it's in the wrong spot-the hottest part of the engine!
