This company is a huge help. I purchased my parts from them and there videos helped me do the work right. Thanks, and your sticker is on my back glass with pride
GREAT VIDEO! Very well explained and great supportive pictures, especially of using the paint stick to mark the places on the phazer gear, that was very helpful. To those of you who couldn't hear it very well, I know what you refer to. Go to your 'sound' equalizer and turn the bass down and the treble up and you'll hear him much better.
This video repeats a lot of things and misses a bunch of others that are important. Also it's not very much help for someone trying to replace a cam while the engine is still in the car. You guys should re-do this video and make it better. Include things like which bolts on the timing cover and water pump need to come out and which ones can stay, how to get clearance in front of the engine to be able to get the cam in and out of the engine and how to pick the right pushrods, to make sure they are seated in the lifters, etc.
Hey Byron, I'm pretty sure the oil pump and timing chain guide assembly off as well....If I'm not mistaken, the timing chain guide retains the camshaft.
This definitely clears some things up for me! I couldn't for the life of me get exactly 6 and 12 o'clock on my timing. Either the cam is slightly off or the crank. When my cam is dead 12 with TDC, my crank is a little off 6. I appreciate you touching bass on this because I couldn't get a straight answer anywhere else. You're the man. 🤙 By the way, I have a gen 4 so it is obviously the same process.
Wgat did you have to do to get it lined up because I’m having that problem now, when I’m at tdc my crank mark isn’t exactly at 6, and my cam mark is on 12 but when my crank mark is at 6 then I’m not at tdc and my cam mark is slightly off
@@dariusstcyr no problem man. I couldn't never find that very same info but I knew you must have the cam lined up at 12... that's a must. So I basically lined up the cam and hope for the best on the crank timing. My ram has been a beast every since. Glad I could help bro.
Good informative video,sound needs to be addressed.And yet another example of INCORRECT torque wrench usage.He overtorqued every single bolt.Once a TW releases that is the preset torque desired.Don't believe me-okay. Torque a bolt down and double or triple click it.Then using the TW at the original preset and try to loosen the bolt.Do it slowly and the TW will release w/o loosening the bolt.Keep increasing preset until bolt breaks free and that will be the final torque.I only have 50 yrs experience as an Aircraft mechanic
Handicapped vet with constant ringing in my ears, here. I would love to watch your video, but the sound is giving me a migraine. I know others must be complaining about it as well, sorry to add to that, but if you make a new video with you speaking over the video I'd love to watch it. Thanks for your effort!!
You may want to put grease on the contact face of that cam bolt, ARP supplies such grease (and explains how/why to apply it) with their HEMI flywheel bolt kit. Without grease alot of that 90 ft/lb is used to overcome bolt to phaser friction.
This was an ok video, I found the sound was hard to hear and the camera could zoom in on the motor just a little bit more making it easier to see helps. But pretty good compared to some of these other videos!
Im doing this myself because theone time I get a mechanic to help he messes my truck up more than it was before so can I take out the old camshaft and just clean it and put it back in to retime the chain and what happens if the camshaft doesnt turn freely what does that mean? Because the truck wasnt having any issues with tining or camshaft until I had a mechanic help me change the oil pump and he only took the tensioner off the timing chain nothing else and now it's out of time according to codes and now I have to do it myself and I broke it all down and in other videos it shows ppl just freely turning the camshaft pulley thing and bottom part the oil pump slides on to but mine won't turn to retime and I'm not trying to break anything
Ok but can you do this with the engine in the truck or car and if so aside from removing the timing cover is there anything else you must remove on top the engine or no
Is it possble to eliminate the phaser altogether and just get a solid gear to replace it with? I want to delete mine but the concept of a phaser lock seems sort of hackish to me. Also, shouldn't you replace the cam bearings when installing a new camshaft??
I had 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT 5.7Hemi, i deleted the MDS sensor, then i changed all lifters to non MDS lifter, and i have a flash tuner to delete the MDS, but i used the stock camshaft is there any future problem because i didn’t change the stock camshaft to non mds camshaft? Thanks for your reply i appreciate.
I know this is old but what do you know there’s a mark on the lower gear as well and two of your links are different to line back up on the lower gear and then all you would’ve had to do is put the top gear back straight up and down anyways great video
On my hemi the roller must have shattered. When I pulled the valve out there was no roller on the lifter. Would the roller pieces have fallen into the oil pan or is the engine done for? Thanks
Dumb question when you guys ship cam kits do they include directions for home install assuming you have the tools and know how. Or is this something that you want your customer to take to a shop?
Why not install a cam sprocket without the phaser if you want to get rid of the mds? If would have less parasitic drag on the rotating assembly,quicker acceleration.
How will you hold the camshaft, when tighten the Campully-Srew, when the engine is installed ? And is the force putting to the little chain not too much ?
Questions for you guys at MMP. WHY do the roller bearings in the MDS lifters seize up in the first place??? What causes this to happen??? Is there a proven and guaranteed definite fix to prevent this from ever happening again??? Is the valve train in the 5.7 Hemi engine a poor design to begin with???

Any videos or pictures where the crankshaft timing mark will be? Is it exactly the 5 o'clock position or between 6 and 5 im having trouble getting my rt in time
How is cam held when tightening bolt if engine still in vehicle?? Also cam tool is cool but cant be used if engine still in vehicle, or can it if grille removed?.. awesome video..

Hello I was wondering do you need to take the heads off of a pre-assembled motor to install an aftermarket cam? I'm only asking because I plan on buying a Hemi out of a totaled Challenger or charger & I want to put a Lopey idle cam in the motor so I was hoping I didn't have to completely disassemble the motor to install the cam and MDS delete kit.
Does the MDS system affect the 4.7 L engine in the same manner that you just described at the beginning of this video because I'm having problems with mine and I'm getting a weird idle and misfire codes if that's the case this video help me solve a problem in my vehicle that I didn't know it was related to this
i have a question, i recently purchased the MDS delete kit with camshaft, oil pump etc. my question is being my car is a 09 dodge charger SE hemi 5.7l do i need to get the vvt stroker ring for crankshaft gear install or being that it is a VVT engine does already have that vvt stroker ring.
Hello guys we have recently replaced the mds stock cam with a stock mds cam on a 2011 durango with hemi had a stuck lifter roller in cylinder 3 eating into the cam. We have done everything to the T like the videos show but now it wont start just turn over and sounds like it wants to but won't so frustrating any ideas guys please help thanks in advance.
Am super confused with the timing.. would I have to do all that if I just want to replace my cam with a 392 cam. I have the hemi 5.7 in my 2014 chrysler 300
@@ModernMuscleXtreme I picked up a stage 4 Texas speed cam. I bought the same size pushrods as stock. I haven’t installed it yet due to the fear of them being too short or too long. How do I go about finding out if these will work fine?
I'm completely positive that the hemi lifter failures have nothing to do with mds. Way too many owners of deleted or never had mds systems have had lifter failures that ate the cam. The problem is cheap "lowest bidder" lifters. If you are over 50k miles and intend on keeping your hemi I highly suggest investing in high quality lifters now.
cgirl111 Mopar had a run of lifters made from about 2011 to 2016 with a smaller roller bearing. It seems these are the worst with failures mds or not. Thanks
What brand lifters do you recommend? I just bought a Howard's 520 lift mds cam. You see a problem using Enginetech lifters or should I use Johnson's or maybe Hellcat lifters? It's a 2007 5.7 Ram.
My 2015 ram 1500 keeps getting a error code of a cyclinder 4 misfire, and on rare occasion multiple cyclinder misfires. I've changed all plugs, checked coils to see if there faulty, those haven't fixed the problem. Any ideas of what I should check next before I ha e ro get someone to RIP the engine apart to find if its internal?
Pull your valve cover make sure the pushrod is still on rocket and is moving properly. I had the same problem! If that all works well like supposed to look into the computer Ebay has them with lifetime warranty from a company in florida comes preprogrammed to your key! Nice service great quality I've bought 2 from this company 2 different dodge vehicles
the hemi has a flaw in the older engines, i think up 12 or 13. roller on lifter locks up and wipes out the cam. im dealing with this now. misfire on number 4. pull the valve cover and see if rocker and pushrod are moving, if not its the lifter and cam.
You don't need a new cam for a '17. Starting in mid - 2016, Melling began supplying reengineered lifters and a hardened cam for the 5.7 and 6 4 V8s. Squad cars also got slightly softer valve springs. These changes seem to have solved the old valvetrain failures.
Modern Muscle Performance / ModernMuscleXtreme.com ok great because next week I’m dropping my transmission and engine with engine cradle but since I’m doing that should I replace lifters, lifting rods, and oil pump since it’s all coming out?

Modern Muscle Performance / ModernMuscleXtreme.com I’m going to be using a 392 oem cam that came out of a car with mds so you said I need to keep the mds lifters so I was then asking if I should replace the old mds lifters with new mds lifters
Any advice on reinstalling the harmonic balancer?
VW69Baja we have an installer
And we use a hot plate to heat balancer to help
Use a press lube
tap in the balancer until about the 5th or 6 thread, then wrench it the rest of the way.
hi, What do you do if camshaft is too tight after install?
BB Bookes are you talking valve clearance or cam bearing
Modern Muscle Performance / ModernMuscleXtreme.com no, the cam shaft takes too much torque to turn it with out a load at all,can something be done to cam journals, I don’t want to remove bearings again, ready to give up on it!!!
@@bbbookes8406 : Sounds like your cam shaft is bowed.....V block each end, check run out between....You will be surprised how easy the cam bends..... Dead blow hammer or put in lathe and lever it to run true.....Or ship it back
and request New one in Proper Container, not just a cardboard box......
Does the Faiseur Limit near Have to be install?
Isaac Wood for most applications yes
