How To Install Cylinder Head Valves On A 3.7/4.7 Chrysler Engine 

+Donald Brooks need help let me know

That’s the safest bet

+John baker lol it can get tricky for sure but we are making progress

Did you find it

No sir. And please excuse my auto-correct just thinks you are some sort of Sandwich King. No disrespect intended mr. Jones. I actually did finish the job, I ended up modifying a spark plug socket and the piece of bed frame in order to make a tool I can bolt to the Head apply Leverage and lower the spring in order to fit the keepers. Thank you for your videos I definitely enjoy them!

skuunker always nice to keep them paired but it will work either way

which side of the valve goes to the exhaust manifold, because there is a metals base in the bottom of each valve

It doesn’t matter just take them off ever how they are as soon as you remove the chains they’re gonna be closed anyway

Now if you can put it on number 1 Top Dead Center and then back at all maybe an eighth of an inch you’re golden but if you already have a broke time in chain or something it doesn’t matter

Cause on 1 of the heads the far end valve and the other end are open about 1/4 or so

So i can put them back on as is soon as i get heads resyrfaced thanks for the reply

Yeah just make sure you’ve got your Cam’s lined up and all that good stuff and you’re good to go no problem

Are you timed correctly

Are you sure you don’t have a bent valve what caused the rebuild

A little more background: I had a 2003 Dodge Dakota that seized. I swapped the engine out (thanks to RU-vid) with a 2000 Dodge Durango, which ran great, I just wanted the pick-up. Both were 4.7 magnums, but the Durango had a 16-tooth reluctor wheel, while the Dakota was 32-tooth. After no-spark, no-starts, I took the new-used engine back out of my Dakota. I changed it to the old 32-tooth wheel (from old engine) on the back of the crankshaft, I changed the one sprocket of the camshaft(where the sensor reads) with the old engine's since that was different also. I did something I regret during this process which was not removing the heads while turning the crankshaft about and causing the pistons to bump against the head surface. Everything else I've been following the manual to spec. I don't know if that small amount of contact could have bent a valve out of the combustion recess area, but now the camshaft is almost impossible to turn (independently off the engine block and on the block with the chain attached). It turned smoothly with little effort before. The heads may have hit the ground a few times during this re-installation. There is a lot of tension between the rocker arms and cam.

+futbolero4152 that's a good question and every time you pull valves out of the head take the time to go ahead and grind them in and left them in real good a few extra minutes there will give your car a few extra hundred thousand miles later alright man need any help let me know

+JamieJones TheCarMan you re the best sir!! best of luck and much success to you and pops this 2016.

+Paul Blakey Hi Paul, was your valve broken? Trying to figure out how you ended up with a short valve on the new cylinder head?

Thats what i was wondering. Im pulling it again today and replacing it with one of the old valves that i know works. Hopf i lly resealing the head and replacing the valve will take care of my no start problem. It ran great before the rocker fell off. Timing was spot on and fired up with a tap of the key.

+Paul Blakey Ok Man, the reason that those valves come off sometimes is because of the hydraulic lifters. Did you buy a complete new head with valves and adjusters or did you reuse your old valves and hydraulic adjusters?

+JamieJones TheCarMan i bought a new head, but i noticed one valve was shorter than the others in the new head. i checked the old one and all he valves were longer so im doing a swap right now. also going with new lifters as well.

soak the lifters over nite in oil before you install them

You can pick one up at any auto parts store or you can hit the Amazon button on my homepage and it'll take you right there to him and you can find one there which is definitely going to be the cheapest way to go
