Back to Pt 1: BAD Car Karma! Botched Job Recovery! Jeep Wrangler 3.6 Pentastar • BAD Car Karma! Botched...
Today we have a Jeep Wrangler Sahara with the 3.6 Pentastar engine. The customer states engine oil is leaking and it is a large leak. We placed the jeep in service mode and began the inspection. It was found that engine oil was leaking off of the valve covers, after lifting the jeep, we found more oil on the back side of the engine and on the transmission. The intake manifold was removed and then the lower intake manifold was removed. Engine oil was found pooling up in the valley between the cylinder heads. The oil cooler assembly was then removed and inspected for leak sources. The o rings were found to be deformed and leaking engine oil. This video is part two which features the installation of a Dorman Oil Cooler Assembly as well as valve cover gaskets, PCV fittings and a replacement lower intake manifold.

I might be an older guy who's old fashioned but that plastic crap that you're dealing with on that engine looks like an absolute nightmare. I give you a lot of credit for being so patient and doing such a great job with that
Yeah totally agree. I'd personally be more willing to pay more for a vehicle with less plastic
Stellantis muy bueno company
Why make an intake out of metal when plastic works perfectly fine? It does not need to withstand crazy temperatures or pressures, it is roughly 30% lighter than steel and like 12% lighter than aluminum while having similar strength in most areas except for ductility which isn't really something you want to have in engine components anyway...
New cars are already super expensive. Add metal/aluminum in place of all the plastic and you add 2--3times the cost for said parts. Granted the oil cooler as plastic was very silly. Just replaced my 3.2 cooler. Plastic was like $45 and the aluminum was around $200. So yea. Modern plastic is cheaper and just as good for alot of parts.
@@tradde11 Its all about cost savings. Always has been when they started the whole 'Planned Obsolescence'. Nothing is made to last anymore. Now Im sure some engineer out there pitched the idea for the plastic oil cooler so they went with it. Now it took another company to make one out of aluminum so it wont happen. Its wierd anymore I know.
Please don't apologize. No big whoop! Ray there are many KARENS out there.
.... and KARLS!
10:21 kens too.
Yes Ray , do NOT apologize, its the CONTENT as to why I watch ... so what on the hiccups in the editing.. keep up the good work Ray.
Lots of Kervins also.
it was actually horrible though, i was amazed. first time in the years ive been watching, so im not particularly bothered but i was really impressed how awful it turned out
Ray as a retired 71 year old mechanic I think you do a heck of a job both as editor and mechanic. I love listening to you and watching you work. You express the same work values as I was tought and I tried to teach in my shop.
I do not know how you deal with all that plastic. I am glad it was not there in the 70's.
Tell all those kerans to just sit back and learn.
I too am a 71 year old retired tech, still do a little side work, on pre 2010 and some bike work. All the special tools today $$$$$ and the new freon 1234y omygoogness.😊
Who cares? They still watched it and got over it! You're a World Champion, Ray!
I think he prefers NGK over Champion… 😝
REEEEEE!! I want my money back!! ... Oh wait. The videos are free. 🤔
😂😂😂
All my money back 😎
Lol too funny
@@squiggyg.8415 And I want to speak to the manager!
Hahahahahahahaha
Remember when we used to worry about aluminum heads warping? Now it's all plastic and we don't worry any more...LOL!
Next will be heavy paper?
NOT a question of IF, but only WHEN they will self destruct
When I was a young technician the older guys wouldn't show you anything or give you pointers so it really blows my mind that you are willing to show us so much
yup, the videos are fantastic. part of what gives me the confidence to do somewhat basic maintenance on my car and save a ton of money. changed spark plugs last weekend, next will be adjusting my valves at some point (AND HOPEFULLY FIX AN OIL LEAK IN THE PROCESS). if i dont have to disassemble a massive portion of the vehicle, ill do it myself. too bad changing the clutch on my civic requires dropping the front suspension.... ill pass on that.
pardon my caps lock earlier... im typing this on a TV remote 🤣
When I was a young tech, the old guys were constantly telling us to wear eye protection, ear protection, knee pads, back braces, etc. We laughed at them. Now at 61, I know they were right. My body sounds like Rice Krispies every morning when I get up. Snap, Crackle, Pop.
Ray don’t worry about the edit of part 1 . It’s fine people just need to work with you! No ones perfect!! They just gotta be great full they have a video to watch!!!!!
yes i agree with what you wrote
Others take weeks to get their video out. Something with transitioning the cuts in and out just glitched. Or maybe to do with edit versions. Either way, you post so much interesting detail of these rebuilds that, I think we can let you off a time or two.
Senor ray all good no problema
Exactly! 👍🏼
Its cool Ray! Anyone who has been watching your content for long enough knows you are an exceptional mechanic so we dont expect you to be an exceptional videographer as well.
I honestly do not know how you keep up with both but kudos for doing so
Those who are watching these videos to make sure that they can critique excellent videography procedures, don't even get why they're supposed to be watching this video. I watched the first section, I got all the information I needed. I've been working on cars since 1964. You do a pretty good job most of the time. If I were concerned with excellence in videography, I certainly wouldn't be watching A Automotive repair video
Most of us was having fun with him.... See my comment for example. Something weird happened, and it wouldn't be right to let the E. Murphy to get away with it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 (Electronic Murphy) --- For the record, wouldn't care if it was potato vision with no edits - I would prefer that over the fancy stuff. the content is great by itself.
Hey Ray, my wife Jean and I Love your vid! Not sure if this is the same issue, but Casey LaDelle is having the same issue! Might not be you, just sayin'!
Who is critiquing video? WTF are you talking about? I just told Ray he did a great job. I would say that you are way out in left field, but you ain't even in the ballpark.
I am sure Ray was not talking about you but all the other people making negative comments. Unless you are being sarcastic?@@jthonn
I don't make negative comments. That is why I didn't understand, I thought you may have replied to the wrong post.@@gringoLivinginbrazil
Video approved no gravity, perfect editing, perfect camera work, excellent quality mechanical work, click.
Gravitas at 33:12
Deducting points for no gratuitous appearance from Lauren. 😂
I thought it was just a hiccup. In my little world of things to worry about, Rays video ain’t on the list. No harm no foul. Keep on trucking.
Ray, I replaced at least a dozen of these 3.6 oil cooler blocks last year and discovered the reason behind this specific issue. Dumbass oil change places like Take5, Walmart, etc. are not retightening the filter housing back properly and cracking them, hence getting new ones installed and the problem repeating while they're still " fairly newish ". These filers are not sealed relative to how tight they're tightened but rather simply the o-ring itself. There is virtually no gradient between loose and tight. The instant you feel it bump hard over tight, you stop turning it. We did 2 things to prevent this from happening again and you at least took care of one of them.
1: We replaced them all with the metal version.
2: Since the housing for the filter is STILL plastic, we told all our 3.6l customers to warn whoever is changing their oil to STOP tightening the moment the housing hits hard over.
Honestly it's so easy to change the oil on these things, the people with issues.. serves them right.. It's not rocket science to change oil.. though, some vehicles you do need to be a contortionist.. 😂
@@rustbeltrobclassic2512 I'll pass that along to the seventy three year old lady down the street.
My 2010 Toyota Highlander 4cyclinder has a plastic oil filter container and the oil change place used natures lock tight so I had to break it off and buy an aluminum one
I’m I the only one that doesn’t trust an inch pound torque wrench . Transmission pan bolts - valve covers - scare me .
That's what I suspected, too. The oem plastic filter housing female threads & the plastic cap with male threads & o-ring don't give you good tactile feel when tightening, so there is a tendency to overtighten them. It doesn't take much torque to seal the cap, so less is more in this situation.
This has got to be the most complicated disassembly/assembly automotive videos I have ever seen. Way to go Rainman!
Don’t ever change no matter what people say. Been watching you since you started and very often watch videos over and over. We love your content and quirky comments so don’t take any notice of those that don’t 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Thanks for being the 'bigger person' (nope, I'm not accusing you of being fat 🚙) over our criticisms of that last video. You have a winning formula already, no need to make changes... Whatever it was, this one is back to the best of Ray.
Ray you have no need to apologise to anybody! You are entertaining and informative plus I agree with your snippets of wisdom. Regards from UK.
Someone very unskilled was working on that vehicle. No excuse for any of those poorly done items. People... don't touch an engine if you have no idea what you are doing. Great Video!
"It'll be fine". That's what the last repairman of that vehicle said!
Dedication and genuine approach make your channel a joy. Congrats!
Least obvious bot.
Ray, you did a fantastic job of washing down the valves with oil ... without getting any down the spark plug tubes. Great job!
You are not the only one having that issue on CZcams.
I've seen it quite a few times on various videos over the past week or so. Another thing I've been having is a video getting 10-20 seconds in and freezing. Have to completely restart in most cases. And I'm on Premium!
😂😂 Your editing is back to normal😂😂 You are 100% correct in saying teflon tape is a sealant! Only a moron would call it a lubricant! Ask any real plumber or just look it up. There are a few videos on the oil cooler and your's is the best one I've seen and very informative! Keep up the great work!
Teflon is also used as a lubricant in multiple ways. Hell, it’s used as seal backup in hydraulic systems. Very versatile as a solid and additive.
@@gimmeaford9454 Teflon definitely can be used as a lubricant. But teflon "tape" is a sealant.
Ray, hello from Los Angeles, one good thing about filming your work is in case your customers give you an argument about what you repaired, what parts you used and any extra special work you had to perform to complete the job, you can sit them down and make them watch the video as proof that you performed quality of workmanship. Once they view your video that will shut them up. By the way, we all love oil drain and filter replacement videos!
I’m not a Jeep guy but do appreciate a Jeep for what it is. That being said, what the heck were they thinking with that battery box/fuse box design. Everything on the passenger side of the engine is effectively blocked and the wires and connectors on the bottom of the fuse box are still critter bait.
It is as though people have forgotten that we are all human. If I lived in Florida you’d be my mechanic hands down. Keep up the great work.
I think it's awesome how you went into your parts surplus to get the owner that intake. Most mechanics would want to charge an arm and a leg to replace it. You're one of the few good guys out there.
Ray don’t ever let anyone steal your joy! You’re a very good mechanic!
No need to apologize Ray, always a pleasure to be amazed by your knowledge, the editing is just collateral damage 😂😂, but always a good video. Keep up the good work
Great lesson on fixing the oil leak. It just take being careful and taking your time, plus using good parts. The guy getting this jeep back will be pleased for sure.
i have to apologize to you ray, and i am sorry i thought the editing issue was my internet provider as we were getting severe t-storms and not the video quality. as a tech guy myself would never blame you for the edits. am truly sorry for assuming that the problems were you, you do a heck of a great job. learned alot from you
I really really wanted to make a sarcastic comment pretending to troll, but i dont want it to be misinterpreted as actually trolling, you do a wonderful job man im very glad i found this channel
Nicely done Ray!
We all understand vut is pruhblem, Ray. We still love your channel
I like your work and honesty!!!
Watching you fight all the wires around that battery box was a comic break for me. I imagine you were thinking unkind words for the engineers all through that part.
looked like a bag of snakes!
Love the care you put into your work Ray!
Ahhhh the old plastic fantastic Pentastar Mechanic stay busy job! I think we did 4 of these the past month at our shop. Keep it up Chrysler, Fiat, or Stellantis whoever it is now. ;)
Good save on that Lower intake Ray!
Appreciate all videos and you have a great day
YOU ARE FRICKEN AWESOME RAY. GREAT WORK. THANK YOU
Great job Ray, awesome work as always
Forget the TROLLS Ray!, at the end of the day you go home to a BEAUTFUL WIFE and they are living in their parents basement. If I lived in Florida USA and after watching your videos, then your shop is where I'd be taking my vehicle for any repairs needed as your attention to detail when doing said repairs I know that I could trust my vehicle to work properly and not break down again in the near future. Fantastic channel, keep up the good work mate.
Ray, I love what you are doing...Please keep going...
great job Ray
I love your cam/valve train oil wash. Great idea!
Ray u r a hell of a mechanic.
What a monster of a job Ray. Well done !!
Thank you Ray
It’s ok! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos!! Love watching them
All your videos are great!!! Enjoy watching each one! 👍🏽👍🏽
Jeep at one time produced one of the best 3.0 liter motors ever made. Their straight 6. That thing was bullet proof. Instead of going with a proven winner they gave us Pentajunk.
Ray you do a really good job pays g attention to detail.
Thanks Ray 😊
I appreciate the content I do not watch for the Edits I watch for the content. Thank you Ray.
What i have been watching. Your One Heck Of Good Mechanic.
your diligence, commitment and integrity is inspiring.
I looked into Amsoil for my 2019 VW Arteon (purchased new) but according to the Amsoil web site, their oil does not meet the VW spec required. I'm using Motul 5w/40 in it now. I used Mobil1 0w/40 in my 2011 Saab NG9-5T4 (purchased new) with no issues after 150K miles. I also had a 1986 Saab 900 (purchased new) for 15 years of ownership and used Castrol GTX 10w/30 standard motor oil and changed it every 2K miles. At the 150K mileage mark when they adjust the cam clearances, the engine looked brand new with zero sludge anywhere. Another great video Ray!
Respectfully, and I am not affiliated with Amsoil, but I am a VW owner. Amsoil European meets and/or exceeds the VW "502.00" and "504.00" specs that are listed in the manual as required. I am using Amsoil European in mine (a Taos). I don't agree with "extended interval" oil changes though, which is part of those specs. I am still going to change the oil and filter between 3k-5k. I will be using that Rainman Ray discount. Thanks for that Ray!
My gosh, you must love what you do!!
Thanks for the info about the engine oil
Even with upload artifacts, you're creating an invaluable resource library of repair. Thank you!
nice job Ray ,no more plastic junk.
Ray view all your videos I have learnt so much best wishes from the UK
I had no problem, it seemed fine.
You are a very patient man, and add a lot of levity to your videos.. thank you again Ray!
Excellent work.
thanks for fixing ray. all good now.
I said it yesterday and again today RainMan you are a MASTER MECHANIC
It is always good to have those spare aka reclaimed parts on hand. Helped save your customer trying to get more parts from someone else’s mistake. Nice work as always.
Thank you for the video Ray 🎉❤
Excellent video as usual 😊 , keep up the good work.
Really Like the work you do.
No apology needed. You are the master. Every video for past 2? Years have been perfect

Keep doing you Ray!!!
Good job Ray! Your videos are great!
