Again Thankyou! After doing mine ,I used mechanics wire between the washer and the head of the oil pick-up bolt, lubed the treads of oil pump with w-d and went right in. Thanks for saving me 4 hours! JIm
Nice trick with rotating the oil pump so that you gain better access to the pickup tube. Everyone tries to pull the tube off first and its a real challenge. If you use mechanical wire on the bolt you can get quicker use out of an adjustable speed wrench to both remove and reinstall. Not to mention taking the oil pan off a Ram with 4 wheel drive to get access requires significantly more time, and requires a new integrated oil pan gasket. Big waste of time and $$. Thanks for the help.
Weirdly I didn't have to do this I was able to drop the front oil pan and the pick up tube just stayed in place firmly after removing oil pump, wonder if there's something holding it that maybe isn't for some
PLS HELP So I have a problem, the camshaft that should be at 12 I can't even get it to turn. I place it on the lil notch and it doesn't turn at all I haven't tried to force it but it won't turn any reason why or what I should check for or do?
Question to anyone that has done this before. Right before he ended the video he said you can hand crank it with a ratchet slowly. If you do that, and have no issues do you have to have your markings back at 12 o'clock, and 6o'clock before putting cover on and starting engine once complete. Thanks for any help!
No, once everything is aligned correctly, the valves and pistons are properly timed mechanically. At that point it is the same as when you originally took the timing chain cover off. Handing cranking just ensures that everything is moving smoothly, and there also is no problem with the lift rods not being properly seated. Do it with the spark plugs out and there should be a nice smooth uniform movement. Any odd resistance means you need to recheck things.
I saw that with the tensioner bolt, that first bolt never clicked and it kept turning and you stopped, you know it's on the verge of breaking,😂 you went from 22 ft lbs, to 16 ft lbs then to 12
Hey I need your help. I have the srt hellcat supercharger and I’m trying to put it on the 5.7 plus the srt front bumper conversion. The difference is it’s a 06 charger r/t!
Hey bro thanks for the video. I was wondering if 21 ft lbs is the correct torque spec for those camshaft plate tire bolts cuz one of them snapped before it even hit 20ft lbs.
Be sure your tourqe wrench you're using to do those is a quarter inch drive one, otherwise you won't feel the click and you'll keep going until they snap
@@stevelyons9034 stick a bore camera down cyl 1, rotate the engine over by hand until the piston is at TDC and in the "dead spot" meaning the area of the rotation where you can just barely move the crank, and see no movement from the piston, take your cam gear, rotate the camshaft to 12 o'clock, then remove it and put the timing chain on, I do it on ALL hemis now, no need to fight with the oil pump unless replacing the timing chain.
@@whatsrt1490 im going to replace the chain, guide, and tensioner. Got the pu tube bolt off but had to drop the pan. Know I can’t turn the crank bolt to get to TDC to remove to old parts. Too much compression. Do I need to remove the plugs?
@@whatsrt1490 i thought you could on the hemi because they're not torque to yeild. Mitchell says nothing about it. I work on all types of vehicles some you do and some you dont. Thanks
manual is wrong and has been corrected in later manuals. put the double at the top and your marks will fit perfectly top and bottom. This gave me such a headache. watch your torque values. if the bolt is small and the torque value high recheck it.
By far the best hemi timing and oil pump removal and installation by a real mechanic on you tube. Finally someone who knows. Thank you!
Fantastic! Super Job! Packed with time saving tricks from someone who obviously has done dozens of times. I can't thank you enough! Jim
The best video on this operation I have seen yet. Thanks

You can also verify timing after the pump is on by looking at the bottom key-slot. It is still visible and should be around 2 O'Clock.
Glad I found your video- changing the cam on my 5.7 next week- get video very thorough- thanks for the ty wrap trick!!!
You did a good job though.

Got me looking out the window thinking an ice cream man decided to show up after 10 years
Awsome video thanks brother so they all have the same timing set up 12 and 6 o'clock marks

With the cam mark at 12 and crank mark at 6,
How does that verify that you’re on compression stroke and not exhaust?
I believe There is a key way mark on the crank that has to be pointed at 2 o’clock that’s tough to see.
Because of the alignment of the camshaft at 12 oclock.

Is the oil pickup pump the same on the 1500 hemi
can you tell how to remove the timing chain cover please
Hope you where careful putting it back on… my torque wrench locked up and snapped one of my bolts
What’s The Torque Sequence For The Rod Bearings & The Main Bearings?
Google will be your friend on that one, I don't cover that in my videos.
I recently installed a cam and lifters in my 2010 dodge ram and I think I may be a tooth off. Do I have to take the heads off to fix the timing??
No you don’t have to

9 foot lbs. the book says 21 for tensioner and 9 for guide but they are bot the same size. can't always trust the book.
for example the oil pump bolts are 21 foot lbs and they are way larger than the tensioner.
Alldata says 8 ftlbs for tensioner and guide bolts
Do you always have to take heads off to do lifters and cam plus timing chain
Yes you do, the lifters are under the heads,
How do you torque down the camshaft bolt without it rotating ??
there is a hole in the sprocket you can fit a screwdriver into and jam it against the block. use a phillips the same size of the hole.
Cannot rotate enough on the trucks to get at the lower oil pump pickup up...only on the cars...as a master tech that makes me sad lol
Tell me about it, BUT there is away around that, without dropping the oil pan or unbolting the oil pump
@@whatsrt1490 and what would that be?
@@stevelyons9034 stick a bore camera down cyl 1, rotate the engine over by hand until the piston is at TDC and in the "dead spot" meaning the area of the rotation where you can just barely move the crank, and see no movement from the piston, take your cam gear, rotate the camshaft to 12 o'clock, then remove it and put the timing chain on, I do it on ALL hemis now, no need to fight with the oil pump unless replacing the timing chain.

Can you do it with the oil pump on?
Yes, get cyl 1 to TDC then you put the cam gear at 12oclock and you're done.
Can i reuse cam phaser bolt?
I've reused them,
@@whatsrt1490 i thought you could on the hemi because they're not torque to yeild. Mitchell says nothing about it. I work on all types of vehicles some you do and some you dont. Thanks
You forgot to tighten that bolt in the sun or there 85 pounds. I think you said.
Wasn't forgotten, for purpose of this video it wasn't done, this car was being taken apart and the video was done to show how this is performed
Dbl marks goes at 6 oclock per my manual?
manual is wrong and has been corrected in later manuals. put the double at the top and your marks will fit perfectly top and bottom. This gave me such a headache. watch your torque values. if the bolt is small and the torque value high recheck it.
Yea this is wrong. I put the double marks at 6 o’clock on mine once. Its going to throw a timing code.
What you're gonna wanna do is....
🙄
Really hope no one is putting the timing chain tensioner at 21ft pounds because it won’t even go past 10 before breaking a screw
