Ray and I have combined our efforts in helping out the Tosi family with their van.
Their 2011 Chrysler Town & Country overheated catastrophically leaving them with just one vehicle. After some careful consideration with Ray, we decided the best thing to do would be fixing a good core engine I had on the shelf and installing it into their van at no cost. Since I've got the engine apart, we're taking care of all of the known problems with these engines which will be detailed in these videos.
Why am I doing this? My name is Eric and I own and run a full service auto salvage business and part of our model includes dismantling blown up or bad engines and selling the parts that are still good. We do not rebuild engines, merely supply parts to those who do. This is a special case where I can use parts from a previous teardown and an engine without major issues to build one good engine. Not something I do often!
I really hope you enjoyed this video and if you'd like to see the progress on this engine please subscribe to this channel and Rainmanrays channel as the entire process will be shared across both channels.
As always I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one!
-Eric

@mert2651 3 месяца назад

@@timradde4328 A torque angle is usually used when the torque spec is higher than most torque wrenches support. The head bolts on my 3L inline 6 BMW from 2002 go for 40nm/29.5ft-lb and then 90 degrees twice. At the second 90 degrees stage, I could barely tighten them any further. I don't think a regular torque wrench goes up to the torque that they were secured at at the end of the whole process. (edit) Now that I think about it. Most, if not all head bolts get stretched when being torqued down. It could be that the torque reading is different when the bolt is starting to stretch and that torque degrees is a more precise way of measuring how tight a bolt is torqued down.

Depending on the ability of the magents to HOLD their factory "charge", gently setting them on a steel table won't "drain them" of magnetism. HOWEVER, strong impact can! Percussion failure of soft iron magnets is real.

@jamescross9783 3 месяца назад

First I would like to say what you folks are doing for that family is so commendable! Beautiful gesture of humanity. I would like to comment on the oil filter housing / oil cooler. The factory (and more than likely aftermarket as well) plastic part is a known failure item, hot antifreeze combined with hot oil does not play nice with plastic. I repaired a Jeep Wrangler with the same set up that had a massive coolant leak due to this. They (aftermarket) make an updated cast Aluminum part that is far superior for this application.

I know why the head gaskets are different prices!! Just did an engine replacement on a Jeep Wrangler with the same engine, because the left bank blows gaskets like it's going out of fad. Very good luck on the build for the family. I say this, because my shop ended up doing the engine swap after the new head on the old block (new right from the CDJR dealer) swallowed a broken intake valve. Many *many* hours lost on that one. Thankfully our dealer gave us a deal on the replacement motor because of the valve failure on the (previously new) heads from them.

Whenever I 'run in' a bunch of fasteners that have to get tightened just so, I always turn the clutch down on the driver towards the lighter end of its range so it stops when just snug. I also give a gentle tap to whatever I'm tightening down to make sure it didn't hang up on a burred edge or something. Then I can go back and tighten everything properly.

@paulstandaert5709 2 месяца назад

The "front" cylinder head commonly has valve issues in the front cylinder. You can (used to?) get a head from Chrysler for really cheap and there was a recall/campaign for this. This is probably why one gasket is cheap and other is bigger money. Get the Dorman aluminum oil filter housing. Those magnetic rings on the cams are somewhat known to spin and cause timing correlation errors.

Let me know when the timing video is on, I got the notification bell setup to all but appreciate it if you let me know; doing this engine right now, just picked it from the shop, the crank was grounded to .50 or .20, he told me I need oversized mains and rod bearings as he did all the crank journals, block was not touched only deglazed, so I keep my standard pistons, only ordered number 2 due to a bent rod from hydro lock which is why I am into this. The terms undersize and oversize is confusing because according to all I find in the internet I need undersized but the guy from the shop said over, not under because the crank was grounded or its journals diameter reduced, hence the need for the oversize.
