Aye this video helped me out a lot. While i wasn't replacing the head gaskets. I couldn't find any other video replacing all 3 of the intake gaskets, but this one. Thank dude!
I was afraid of starting work on my 2006 because I am currently going through a similar problem with the coolant. Now I feel more confident in doing the project. I have the tools, just need the parts. I am hoping its just the coolant pipe. If not, i'll change the head gaskets. Great detailed video!!
Looks like one of the head was obviously cracked between a coolant opening, combustion chamber and oil return passage. Never seen that happen on a 3.5. But I looked at a 4.0 (same as 3.5 but longer cylinder strokes) minivan that was obviously puffing coolant into exhaust. I'm betting that's the issue, as MLS head gaskets don't "blow out" the way older composite gaskets do. They're more likely to leak if the surfaces aren't perfect though!
I'd also be concerned about the debris being blasted on the block when they will fall into the cylinders and oil/coolant passages! Plenty of machine shops do use those wire brushes on the manifold surfaces when they clean the heads and resurface the bottom with a mill.
What does this type of labor work usually charge ??? I have a 2005 300C 5.7 hemi with the same issue... I don't want to crush it because this is the only major issue I've had with this vehicle. Great Video by the way too,Man‼️💪🏿
Most of the parts that are most important to visualize for a non mechanic are skipped right over. Its pretty easy to set up a camera on a tripod or you could even zip tie it to the hood.
nice Video good Job now go out and find a Pacifica with a 3.5 and replace the head Gaskets lol. im sure its the same process its the can you do it in the car
Great videos I like your explanation ,I have one question please how can I find out how to torqe the head gasket is it writing in new gasket ore how to know that, please let me know if you could mate.
Domanic Snowden i can help. theres two little notches at the timing cover and cam gears. the cam gears have to line up with the notches on the timing cover. as for what position the cylinders must be at i believe it should be cylinder 1 has to be all the way up. hope thag helped
Hi there, love your videos, thank you! I bought a 2007 Dodge Magnum 3.5L, timing belt was replaced, marks line up perfectly after several revolutions of the engine by turning the crank. One intake valve on the passenger side middle cylinder appears to be bent, it doesn't close fully. I am wondering how it would be possible to bend one intake valve on a four valve motor. Is this possible? Could it be something else, or do I need to take the head off and replace the valve? Thank you!
Will this be about the same guide/walkthrough on a 2.7l Chrysler 300 2008? Will this work on the smaller size 2.7l engine? Any info would be greatly appreciated thanks, and thanks for the video's its really helpful to have! 💯✔❗
Hey bud, is there a huge difference between the 3.5 and 3.6l? I’ve got a ‘12 Dodge Challenger with what I believe is a valve seat problem. Figure I’d take off both heads and have a machine shop resurface everything including the valve seats. Haven’t found a decent video yet that does the 3.6l, if I follow your video will it be close? Thank you VERY much for any help!
I have a 2007 DODGE CHARGER with 3.5 Liter motor. I had issues with the car running hot, and i drained the oil and antifreeze. I have changed the radiator and the thermostat. I have changed the waterpump just 6 months ago. There was no mixature in the both chemicals coming from the radiator and the oil pan . I was overdue for a oil change so i changed the oil and flush the coolant system car stop running hot, but i having issues now with the car throwing oil from what seems to leaking on the monitfold on the side where put in the oil . Is the a sign of a blown head gasket????
Since didn't do driver side do you know or can explain why where cam is there's no room at all to lift out head. The housing is tight around,not a big open circle like passenger side.
I recently did a head replacement and now im trying to start the car the cams seemed very hard to turn when I was doing TDC timing ... I felt like they were too hard to move so how could the timing belt move them?? .... went to start the car it turns very slowly ... I figured it was the battery was down so I connected jumper cables and got the same result....took the battery to autozone got it tested and charged came back still the same very slow turning... now battery is low again from trying... something doesnt seem right or do I just need to keep trieng so it builds oil pressure to lube the new heads I installed after getting it machined ?????
What the hell size socket is used to remove the head bolts? 14mm don't fit and 15mm slips and wants to round them off. Aghhh!! (2.7 V6 in an 06 Magnum)
Cleaning aluminum heads with a wire wheel is a cardinal sin 🤮 your customers must have their heads blow after 10k everytime and also the pistons will carbon up by the time of their oil change. The wire wheel is just making a better surface for carbon to attach and harden so your process will create more carbon on the pistons not like it really even matters
the wire brush is not hard enough to do what you are trying to imagine. Thank you please like, share, and subscribe, also please check out my other channel Salem Taxi, on RU-vid for more material on a different level.
