Back to Pt 1: BAD Car Karma! Botched Job Recovery! Jeep Wrangler 3.6 Pentastar https://youtu.be/W1pif3Wh8lI
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. We 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. This video is part two which features the installation of a Dorman Oil Cooler Assembly as well as valve cover gaskets, PCV fittings and a replacement lower intake manifold.

    How do you charge out the spare parts you have laying around? do you charge as new with a discount, or do you make up your own price, or do you even charge at all? I would assume you would want to get some kind of parts value out of it, but it's also not like the customer is buying a brand new part…

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars @terryriley2758 says:

    REEEEE Really upset you didn't replace the rubber cover on the alternator connection! You could have eaisily traveled to the Amazon rain forest where you could find a rubber tree in just a few days searching. Once you have found a rubber tree, you find a patch of hardened sap, slice off the hardened exterior to obtain the soft, liquid sap underneath. Use a knife to slice off the excess layers of hardened sap.

    Make a small hole where you've cut off the rough exterior, using a knife to assist in inserting a tapping spout.

    Hang a bucket on the hook of the tapping spout and leave it in place until you have collected a reasonable amount of sap. If you fail to collect the sap on the first tap, repeat the entire process again.

    Then find a Morning Glory plant. Extract the juice from the Morning Glory by simply breaking its vines and drawing the juice out.

    Mix the sap obtained from the tree and the Morning Glory juice.

    Using a wooden stick, stir the mixture. Stir until it becomes thick and sticky.
    Then carve a mold from the wood of any coconut tree in the precise shape of the rubber cover you need for the alternator connection. Pour the uncured latex into the mold and wait until it cures. It may take a few attemps to get it right.
    Why you allowed this blatant safety hazard to go undone is beyond me, when the fix is so simple. Have a great day!

    That tape, is a sealant. Its the modern version of hemp. BUT, you only need just enough it seals, if you mean it to good, use to much of that band. It will not seal at all.

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars @davidhenderson585 says:

    Ray, I don't see how that unit cools oil with either version. It is squished in to a completely sealed area where the airflow must be almost nothing. Seems to be an oil heater, causing components to deform and warp. No wonder Junkstar engines are so unreliable. Yet the uninformed public keeps buying the Chrysler Junk. Bad for the consumer, good for the mechanic that has to work on the C RAP. Good job Ray

  61. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars @ORRadtech says:

    For the offset bit holder you used behind the valve cover. Look into filling Harbor Freight's offset screwdriver / bit holder. Yes, I know we love to hate HF but the damn tool is only $3. It has a very handy knurled thumb knob on the back that was invaluable for me recently in a similar tight spot. I wouldn't have cared if it broke immediately after, it worked great for that tight space which was all i needed. Just mentioning this because I have the same tool you used and it was pretty useless for me because of the back drag.

  62. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars @Wakeupandsniffthecoffee says:

    Personally I've been nearly as impressed with your video and editing skills, especially concidering that you are doing a legitimate job at the same time and editing on your personal time.
    I have said before that I would love to watch your filming and editing to figure out your tricks.
    I've seen others that do the same thing, even some of the very well known youtubers and friends of yours and your filming and audio out do them.
    I can see how hard it is to try and make any sort of tweak to your filming and editing on the fly and immediately posting them. That doesn't allow time for you to access your efforts, so the reeeee crowd does that for you.

    I have a question. How do manufacturers determine the amount of torque needed to tighten down a nut or bolt? I see you 'mock clicking' and 'actual clicking', but I don't quite understand why you have to do it down to a specific measurement. Also, watching you as often as I do, I found myself using brake clean to clean off a component last week (under my truck). I ran out. I threw the can across my carport and screamed 'ANOTHER!!!" Needless to say I didn't have anymore. Either way, that's a bad habit to have. I think I'll keep it.

    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!

    Ray,
    I enjoy your videos and the way you explain why you feel that many of the problems are lack of knowledge of how to replace the seals. There are shade tree parts changers out there.

    Ray, I have been editing video since the 70's reel to reel B&W old school cut and splice, then non-linear and now linear electronica editing. I watched and saw/heard the edits. They were sub-par but not unwatchable. Just not the same as normal, more in line with old school cut and splice stuff. People are far too critical and persnickety about that kind of stuff. The message got through fine and the camera work was of normal quality.
    No complaints from someone who actually knows and does this stuff.
    As you were, have a good day.
