3.6 knocking sound?

So, I’ve done the replacement of the oil cooler myself and it took me a little over a day to complete. That being said, how much harder would this job be? I feel like I could do it myself.

I thought about doing it myself, but since I’m not a mechanic, I wouldn’t want to do anything internally with the engine then accidentally mess something up. The thought of having something go wrong while my wife is driving the Jeep (her primary vehicle if she goes anywhere) with the kids after doing the work myself would keep me up.

I've viewed a lot of videos and repair manual on doing it, definitely more difficult than the oil cooler but looks pretty straight forward and something I'd want to do in a garage.

It's recommended to do both sides, and you'll need a set of specialty wedge tools to keeps the timing chain/phaser in alignment.

Removing the valve covers looks like it's more work than it should be... thanks Stellantis engineers

Yea removing the valve covers looks like a pain. My spark plug gaskets leak, and I’ve been putting off changing them because I can’t really see a way to get the passengers side valve cover off without draining coolant and moving those two aluminum coolant hardlines. And if I do that, theeeeen I might as well replace my leaking radiator🫠

I’m gonna call @GP NOIR to the stands again on this one. I know he did it and made a video…I can’t find the video though…
 
When I replaced the rockers & lifters, I was working in a ramshackle shed freezing my tucas off. Videoing the work was the furthest thing from my mind.

I did, however, put together a video of performing a leak down check.


Before tackling the rockers & lifters, perform a leak down check to find out if the engine has any bad valves, rings or head. If I’d done the leak down first, I could got started on replacing the engine instead of wasting time & money replacing rockers on a worn out motor.

Haha, ok my bad, this was the video I was thinking of. I knew you had done the rockers / lifters, though. Thanks for posting.
