HO is a precursor to the SRT. It stands for High Output.

I will be using shorty headers that face forward for the turbo's.

@kevinclevenger8741 Yes, it's why I do these things the gratification when it all comes together. I was blessed with abilities to do these things. I thought people may think my excitement was fake, but it was not. I spent so much time researching and measuring it is so good when it all comes together. Pilot bearing is next. It's very important to get right. Regards Rik

I am not able to at this time sorry mate. I am not set up to and just don't have time. Thanks for subscribing though. It is not hard to do you can see how on my clips. If you need advice I am here to help if you need. Regards Rik

@rootbeernineteen135 Solids mate. If you machine the base you end up in the ports as you can clearly in the picture.

We did sort that out in the end of the clip but where is it written. I could find no official record of it.

I already emailed them and sending some cams over to regrind tomorrow.

@@BuiltByRik that's so great .Iam watching and taking notes.because I would love to build this motor for my wj

Do as I did just send them a email with what you would like to do. I was planning to do a comparison when the cams are installed. I will measure cam v valve movement. If it is 1.85 that would be wild. Maybe too wild? I looked at the factory workshop manual and cannot find the ratio. Maybe I will check sooner than later. Regards Rik

Also I should recommend using solid lifters they work really well with even a HO camshaft. The problem with grinding cams for this engine is the ECM. My first build a N/A the ECM could not cope with the new camshafts. You do a ECM reset and it will run lumpy but after driving the ECM compensates and will dumb it down. This is why I am installing a stand alone engine management system. The stock ECM does not like mods.

@@BuiltByRik yes, a friend and I have been in the early phases of designing an adjustable set of cam gears for this motor. The majority of complexity lies in keeping the tone ring in alignment as JTEC relies on cam/crank signal to distribute spark.

@@rootbeernineteen135 Gears? wow I'd like that on mine. No idea how you would work that? But thank you for the rocker ratio update. A big thank you. I will need to return the cams as they do not work with a 1.0 rocker ratio. Wow no wonder my first camshaft ran so well so powerful that the timing chain could not cope. That was also ground with a 1.0 rocker ratio and lift was almost double. I am amazed it lasted this long LOL. I filmed checking the ratio as I could not find it online anywhere. I ran into problems but you will see that in the next clip. Regards Rik

They are a one off grind. I doubt they will ever be available as a off the shelf part. These are custom cut cams made to order for my project. If you wanted some you would have to ask them like I did. Give them your build details and send them your camshafts to grind. I am grateful to Crow Cams they did this for me. Thanks for the comment. Rik

I'm in no hurry as I have a lot to do. Manual conversion + Twin turbo install + Building a forged engine + Stand alone engine management system install. But I appreciate your following my build.

@@BuiltByRik don't worry I have been fallowing you for long time

@@kevinclevenger8741 Then a double thank you. Rik

@robertbrady1820 why? If you don't like it you can choose not to watch.

I was going to say " do you?" But you don't have anything to watch. Hmmm

@joefeddy Hey buddy how are you.

Getting bye mate. World's gone nuts.

@joefeddy your not kidding, mate. The end could be near.

Where did you learn this information? Regards Rik

I may go to 30lb so I would like to know where this information came from please.

@@BuiltByRik what’s a good way to reach you privately?

@@rootbeernineteen135 facebook.com/profile.php?id=100086781586412

I hope your not in a hurry LOL I do most the work myself and since I am doing so many things I will possibly finish some time late 2025.

They are called valve seats and ALL aluminium heads use them. They don't normally pop out but this particular engine has the valve seats fitted without enough interference. A valve seat should have a .005/0.006 interference but these only have a 0.003 interference from factory which causes the problem. Once the come loose they hold the valve open and eventually break and bounce around the combustion chamber damaging the piston and the head. But this head is not beyond fixing. Thanks for watching Rik

@BuiltByRik thanks for playing with one of the most under appreciated American designs

@@HeckyReckyOfficial Under appreciated is an understatement it is almost hated lol. But I like them and think Chrysler / Dodge should have continued developing this engine and made it a OHC Hemi. The reason I am doing this is to prove this engine had potential. And I like a challenge. Thanks for watching, Subscribing and commenting. Rik

Later models did not sure which year it started I think 05 but would have to double check. Kinda glad the early models did not have 2 plugs per cylinder. Would be a pain to work with a aftermarket engine management system. Rik

Yes most intake manifolds now are mode from a fibre reinforced polymer and not metal anymore. Is that the answer you were after?

@@BuiltByRik I guess so ty!...hmm 3dprintertime i guess

Yes but then again it is so high especially with the spacers. Would it even fit under the Bonnet/hood? And it is a carburettor downdraft manifold with a EFI extension bolted to it. I would really want something lower more compact and more modern looking. If I buy just the spacers my options of intake manifolds is limited as there was not many manifold made for the 4.6 99 to 04 4V Cobra engines. Thanks for the feedback and for watching. Rik

@@BuiltByRik a friend of mine put one on a WJ, and he made it fit - both cowl and hood have clearance issues, though nothing too bad. You're not wrong though, the Sullivan is a hard sell unless you're really revving beyond 6500 - other than that, the 2008-2010 or 2011-2013 4.7 intake manifolds are probably the way to go. Though they're still fairly long runners relatively speaking.

I have brought the 08 rockers already for this engine and also my NA engine. I have to fix the rocker cover leak on my daily HO so may as well change rockers at the same time. I have the mustang lash adjusters also for this build. If you look at the full clip I try one in the engine. They came disassembled unlike my first set in mt NA build. czcams.com/video/fqeg9-v-gKc/video.html And thank you for watching. Rik

Hello Jeff welcome to my main CZcams channel bro.

What was wrong with wearing safety glasses? Am I supposed to wear a full suit and breathing equipment to use a cutting disk? 😅I am surprised I remembered to wear those and not use safety squinting hehe. I am Gen X son we were made different lol.

Not sure how that would have made a difference going for metal pucks? In any way it drives good now unlike before. 6 inch is not legal here and in my opinion not necessary. Unless your going serious rock crawling. It does seem to need a alignment now. But have fun installing the 6 inch lift kit.

It very much is so. G'day from Western Australia 5:30 am here. It's called select trac and was not an option here in Australia so we need to get them from America. Not sure if they are available in other countries as well as America? A transfer case that has 4WD and 2WD is normal across the board but AWD and 2WD is not as far as I know. If you use that with the Quadra Drive 2 system you get a impressive system as the diffs are LSD's. Sadly I do not think the front D30A and rear D44A will be able to handle what I am about to throw at them but we shall see. If they blow they blow lol. Thanks for watching. Rik

@@BuiltByRik G'day from SE Queensland. A transfer case that can select between awd and rwd is very uncommon but is exactly what i was looking for for a project. Thanks for the info Rik, I'm keen to see your build progress. Would you do a teardown video on the transfer case? I'm curious to know how it selects between awd and rwd. Cheers. Max

@@straightouttastraya It seems to be in good condition so no plan as off yet to do a teardown. I myself am also somewhat curious on how it works. I can look it up on my 2199 page workshop manual. TRANSFER CASE - NV242 DESCRIPTION The NV242 is a full transfer case (Fig. 1). It provides full time 2-wheel, or 4-wheel drive operation. A differential in the transfer case is used to control torque transfer to the front and rear axles. A low range gear provides increased low speed torque capability for off road operation. The low range provides a 2.72:1 reduction ratio. OPERATING RANGES NV242 operating ranges are 2WD (2-wheel drive), 4x4 part-time, 4x4 full time, and 4 Lo. From the illustrations it seems to have a built in differential. It looks like a planetary style differential. If you would like a manual you can download it free from my cloud. Just message me on Facebook. facebook.com/profile.php?id=100086781586412 Thanks for the sub. Rik

@@BuiltByRik Thanks for the information Rik it’s much appreciated. If I can’t find one of these transfer cases for sale I can replicate it from a parts diagram. I’ll send you a message on facebook in a little bit. Cheers. Max

@@straightouttastraya I was so lucky to get mine the way I did especially since they were never released here in Australia. I will look for the message.

That was a option for me at the start but I have never done turbo before so I am going with twin turbo.

I don't like that style of gearbox much. I call it a truck box big wide and sloppy gear changes lol. They also cannot cope with 1000hp.

Its been too long since I worked on a manual.

Come to think of it why call it a pilot bearing? It does not fly? Like the pilot light on a hot water system? Ohhh boy english my second language and its early in the morning time for coffee.🤣🤣🤣

Coffee had well it is called a pilot bearing if a bearing is used but if a bush is used it is called a spigot bush. I have never had a manual that used a pilot bearing before only spigot bushes. That is what my brain spat out when I thought of it. Both of us were right. Thanks for the input. Rik

Wish I did not have to SMH but the dowel holes did not line up. I know right? They should be perfect but they were out. About 1.5 mm so I had no choice. Now I need to check if the the shaft is central.

Check out the full clip. czcams.com/video/L5cJ_5AnpUs/video.html I was far from happy.

@@BuiltByRik will do mate

I am now still waiting for a delivery from Summit Performance after 3 weeks. They used Australia Post. It seems it is lost in Sydney. All other packages from Summit were delivered fast (not auspost) like Rock Auto.

Yes after filming I had a much closer look. They have a large elongated hole on the outside but a tiny hole on the inside. The elongated hole almost look like a oil fling. So they are definitely the once I need. I thought I may have to exchange them. But all is well. Regards Rik

It is a stand alone system. It completely replaces the factory ECM. I also brought a new dashboard display as the old dash will not work anymore. It is going to be a learning curve.

Yep im ordering parts now for a massive upgrade. It was my daily driver but now it is just my toy WJ. I drive a WJ Overland as my daily. Not sure when exactly I will start the rebuild but parts should start coming in from across the globe in a week. I don't ever think I will part with that beast. I've had it longer than any other vehicle I ever owned. Thanks for subscribing 👍

@@BuiltByRik Nice👍 It's a great vehicle
