Just got my car back with the exact same repair. Was in the shop for a couple weeks - I was amazed you did the whole job in 33 min! 😂 Great video. Thanks for posting it
Omg yeah I was actually surprised I finished it so fast. Lol. Pretty sure this job was around 26 hours of book time because it was in a Promaster that was modified with a secondary ac system. Thank you for watching.
26 hours three days shesh
How much it costs?
Great job Tony. I’m still amazed by how many cars they’ve managed to fit that engine into.
Omg yes you are correct. The newer ones require aluminum timing tools. Thank you for watching
Thank you for the high quality video and straightforward no bs info!
You are welcome and I am happy you liked the video. Happy it helped. Thanks for watching.
I just helped my neighbor do his man what a job . I did several videos it took so long. 👊🏻👍🏻
I've been a mechanic for 36 years when I first started I was involved in a lot of engine rebuilds and Tone is doing it the RIGHT WAY I was trained in UK England Watford. I bought a 1997 F250 and it needs Head Gaskets what's my Go to video Nuts and Bolts with Tone !! I want to watch a good American mechanic fixing American engines. I know how to replace head gaskets but if Tone has some good tips I'm all in !
Hey Tone I've already bought those Capri Extra Long Box end Wrenches that you plugged on the 4.6 V8 video , I payed 165 euro here in Germany.

Rick that is very nice of you to say, I truly appreciate the feedback. I am happy to pass along my knowledge and experience. Thank you for the support and I will continue to give you guys the best content I can. Hopefully I will be back to work the beginning of March. Thank you for watching.
Great professional workmanship
Thank you very much. I appreciate that. Stay tuned I got some good stuff coming. Thanks for watching
Great very well through & detailed video brother, I haven’t done one of these in so long I forgot all about the process
Thank you very much I appreciate that. Thanks for watching
I hope your Boss treats you good in the shop doing all those head gaskets jobs they are HARD work !! Do not rough up the head gaskets Technician in the Shop those guys are GOLD !!
Thank you very much, yes my boss treats me very well. Yes you should never do anything to the head gaskets because then you will have a failure. Thank you for watching I appreciate it.
Thank you!
Your welcome and thanks for watching.
Best video at doing this job I have seen. Great job. I drag race for about 25 years with BBC and SBC. As far as warp head I never seen a wrap head with the deck not being wrap also. I thing you could clean the head surface and check it and clean it up with a sanding block. Check your deck and it will be worse than the head. The head has a lot more material. Only time I did the head if it was going on a different block and the block was not flat either. That is why you have a head gasket to make up for the little difference between the two. Now for my question on the great job you did on the 3.6 penstar engine. Since there is some common failures on these engine if it was my engine you was doing I would want new timing chains and guides and tensioners. Also a new Dorman aluminum cross over plate and and a new oil and water cooler under the intake and thermostat housing. Plus new spark plugs. Old plugs are hard on the coils. Am sure there is a few things I missed. Only mostly only for the parts as you are already there. Changing timing chains or that new oil and water cooler under the intake after it is back together after a year or less is no fun. They had problem with that right head. They had a bulletin that if you a problem with that right head they warranty that head for 10 years. First time I have seen that type of clamp. Seems they come out with more stupid stuff so you have to buy new tools all the darn time.
First off thank you for the feedback and for watching. I agree if it were mine I would have done timing chains, guides, etc. The oil cooler did get replaced. Thanks for watching
Tone my friend, this is why you're the master technician and I'm not!😂 Awesome job brother!!! 👏 👍👍
Thank you brotha I appreciate that. Thanks for watching

thanks for the vid
great vid., Master!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching.
Excellent
Thank you very much and I appreciate you watching.
Good video
Thank you and I appreciate you watching
Damn ima need that new Capri 1/4” torque wrench I got their first one and I love it because of how small it is to get in tight spots
Omg I've used it now on several different jobs. Works so good. And it is so small
Thank you for this tutorial video and all the extra TIPS, except leaving that sensor on the head, I won't give you a rash today for not following your checklist LOL. I imagine this is an expensive job so you did not quote an upgraded all-metal oil cooler on this PENTASTAR while you were already in there.
I appreciate you watching and the feedback. This is a very expensive job and we put an OEM oil cooler on the vehicle. I know that an aftermarket company makes an all metal one but I would rather put oem on. Funny you mention this I always remove everything from the cylinder heads and somehow missed the coolant temp on this job. I never do this so it is extra funny. thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video this is great. Do you recommend replacing the oil cooler when replacing head gaskets?@@NutsandBoltswithTone
I'm referring to the oil filter housing cooler..
me too sorry for the wrong exact name, cheers.@@ronaldkleinsasser2842
How many hours it takes to do this Job
Thanks
Hi, I need information about how the engine drops out the bottom? I have a 13 Journey and can't find much info, it looks like it would come out either way but a few other videos I've watched said that it comes out the bottom as well? Id appreciate any insight. Thanks.
Message me on Instagram and I can try to help you
That engine block looks very clean but for anyone I was wondering if they did replace oil pump on this engines over 300k miles on second engine the van has 425k miles 😂 is it even worth spending on parts will cost me around $1000 from rockauto
This engine had low miles so that is why it probably looks clean. As far as the oil pump, I personally would not put an oil pump on from anyone other then OEM part. The oil pump is a common failure item on these engines. Wow 425k that is impressive. Hit me up on Instagram if you need anything. Thanks for watching.
Hey sir I’ve been seeing slot of ppl saying how you get both heads removed with the timing covers still do u have an idea on how or a vid
I know you can take off front one but am not aware of getting rear one off. Thanks for watching
Correct me if I am wrong but the torque specs you gave are for new blocks . On old blocks you only do steps 6-9 so it’s 22-33-33-angle 130 . No re loosening
I will have to double check but I am pretty thorough looking up torque specs. I may have made a mistake though I am human. Thanks for watching.
@@NutsandBoltswithTone you’re a good man tone . I read it under the specs it said note for engine rebuilds using a new block follow steps 1-9 for rebuilds using old blocks use only 6-9 . Hopefully I am right as that’s how I did my neighbors. Did a video on it to. 🤞 please let me know as I don’t have any auto data. I get it from UA-cam guys like y’all 😳
My exhaust cam phasers have the dimple, but intake cam phasers don't have it.
Might as well do that oil cooler while your there 😂
I did that, thanks for watching.
I'm currently doing this job boss but customer drop bolt down cylinder what do u recommend if the engine can't be on tdc
I am not sure what you are asking. You can message me on Instagram
Is sending the head off to a machine shop pretty much recommended if you are doing this job? I plan to start working on my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee in the next week or so. This video is a gold mine, I will use it on my shop TV as a guide.
So here is the thing about that, if you are removing your cylinder head I am assuming it blew the head gasket. This is a very expensive and time consuming job and it is not smart to not have the heads checked. If the heads are warped or there is a valve train issue and you just replace the head gaskets you will be doing it again. Most of the parts are not reusable so you will be buying the parts again. I have been doing this 20 years and I never have taken off a cylinder head and not sent to machine shop to have it checked. It is a gamble. Good luck and message me on Instagram if you have any questions. Thanks for watching.
Turns out it was a bad rocker and leaking valve cover gasket, dodged a bullet. Compression test and sending the borescope down the spark plug holes confirmed it was not the head gasket. @@NutsandBoltswithTone
@@noodles_GA awesome to hear
@@NutsandBoltswithTone I am waiting on camshafts to arrive from MOPAR, is there a break in process that I should adhere too when it’s all back together? Replacing all intake rockers and lifters, as well as the intake camshafts.
@NutsandBoltswithTone mine is a grand cherokee too. How about buying a remanufactured head vs milling what do you recommend?
Why did you decided to run aftermarket head gaskets vs factory?
I am not in control of parts usually unless it's a diesel. Service advisors order the parts.
Great video why didn’t you replace the timing chains and the oil cooler since you had the motor so far tore down the labor would be nothing. Probably would’ve guaranteed another 200,000 out of it. Not trolling just curious.
I did replace the oil cooler, did not do timing chains because it had less then 100k. Customer wanted to spend a little as possible. I had to pull teeth to get oil cooler. Ended up finding signs of leaking from behind water pump pulley so did water pump as well. Thanks for watching
How much did this job cost?
I am not sure, it was around 25 hours of labor but do not know about the parts. Thanks for watching,.
Why do you have to crack the engine over after replacement?
Do you mean turning the engine over after getting chain installed?
@@NutsandBoltswithTone yes
@DavidPerez-jx2el you do that to make sure tensioner is released so timing doesn't jump on initial start up. The procedure for the job does not say to do it, I do it because I've known people that have timing jump on initial start. You can message me on Instagram if you need more help.
@@NutsandBoltswithTone thank you so much for your reply! Your video helped me so much during my repair!
@@DavidPerez-jx2el I am so happy to hear.
5:20 you say left cams but show the right and on the left, you say the right? What am I missing lol.
- I think I see now, the engines right and left side.
Yes it seems confusing because you are looking at the engine head on however left and right is determined as if you were sitting behind the engine looking forward. That is why it seems like I got it backwards.
PentaStar seems very “Planned Obsolescence” based as by the amount of plastic and RTV used to keep it “all together”, seems not synonymous with “longevity” as with double metal head gaskets, metal valve covers and metal components that are plastic and will get brittle and crack.
It is not the greatest engine that is for sure, has a lot of problems. Camshafts, lifters, rocker arms and the oil pump. But the valve covers are plastic. Thanks for watching.
I am mine, boggled I could this vehicle have a blown head gasket
Yeah it's possible. Message me on Instagram if u need help. Thanks for watching
What state do you operate in?
Sacramento California
@@NutsandBoltswithTone Damn I'm in Vegas,, I've got the '18 Pacifica 3.6 I want to line up someone now so when the HG goes out I'm ready 🤣
@seatime674 week of your ever in Sacramento area hit me up. Thanks for watching
No good job ..... No machine grinder on aluminum block
Yes I agree you should not use Roloc discs on Aluminum unless you know what you are doing. You have to really pay attention to what you are doing. I have always used them but I am very meticulous and pay close attention. Thank you for watching.
Man these things are junk
Yes they are. But hey there are quite a few on the road. Thanks for watching
What do you mean junk? There are over 10,000,000 of these engines built. Earlier ones had rocker arm wear but they have no more problems that other engines out there. I have 225,000 kilometers on mine with no major problems. The alternator slip rings died on mine at 182,000km. Its a well designed powerful engine . I think a lack of maintenance is the biggest culprit in engine failures no matter what brand your running.
Surprised you didn’t have a link in description for the capri tool haha I gotta go find that one now thanks for the homework on the 3.6 about to do a 13 Durango 💪🫡
Thanks for watching the video, here is a link to the torque wrench. amzn.to/44OZYkF
I appreciate you watching
Honestly i don’t comment much on videos but this one I feel obligated to salute you 🫡 more bc im a handy man I fix everything and I mean EVERYTHING myself. No job too big no job too difficult but just watching this video and how much it takes, the work, the attention to detail, and the amount of tool I yet to own has for the first time in my life made me say “FUXK NO” I’m sending it to the shop and that the first for me. My respect to you guys
Thank you very much and I am happy you watched this before just diving in. So many people just tear into an engine, even techs. I have found techs tear into something and you will ask them if they got the special tools and they look at you and say what special tools. This is not incredibly difficult provided you have the proper tools, the no how and the proper procedure. Thank you for watching.
