    Damaged Lower Intake! Plastic Threads! Jeep Wrangler 3.6 Pentastar Pt 2 • Damaged Lower Intake! ...
    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. Be 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.

    It amazes me how many shops will put a car back together after making things worse and offer nothing to their customers except, “Have a nice day”. Your shop is showing the work they it does…literally. No question that you care about the repeat customer. I remember back in the day, I think it was Ford, the slogan, “Quality is job one”. You definitely take that one to heart. You do take some shortcuts, but it never cuts into the level of your work…and it’s entertaining.😁

I’m lucky I married my wife when we were 18 and lucky for me she still loves me after 47 years.All our kids have divorced due to the wife unit needing to relive the lost teen years I guess.

    Ray ! This design is a NIGHTMARE! (but a GOLDMINE for a service Tech) 😂 I can NOT believe how hard it is to remove that passenger side valve cover. The driver's side wasn't that easy either. This repair gave me FLASHBACKS of changing out KNOCK SENSORS on GM engines. I saw your hesitation about replacing the oil cooler, probably due to $$$. However, just like the KNOCK SENSORS I mentioned, the labor costs involved in a second(or THIRD) teardown make this job VERY EXPENSIVE.
    GOOD CALL on your part for the aluminum oil cooler housing.

    Pentastar engine…🤦🏻‍♂️
    Our shop has performed several of these oil cooler replacements. We’ve used an all aluminum Dorman cooler and it leaked. It was determined their O rings were cheap (probably Chinese knock off?) We reverted to the Chrysler cooler since the part was revised and used their O rings. It’s a lot of work to access this part, I certainly hope this works out for Ray. I’ve seen him use the Dorman cooler on other Pentastar engine repairs.

      @@davidbaize4825 Part of the benefit of being able to comment on a video is to educate - and I don't mean that condescendingly. Ray tends to get down on the Pentastar in his videos, because he has worked on a few bad ones, but they really are a great engine. Good power, good fuel economy, good longevity, smooth and quiet. Relatively easy to work on. Every engine has good things and bad things. The "bad" things with the Pentastar are the oil cooler - which is a pretty simple fix - and cam lobe wear on some of them. That's a harder fix, but also not catastrophic. It doesn't happen to many of them. This engine is literally in millions of vehicles on the road now. It is in its 14th year of production with only one major revision - rare in terms of engines these days. Many of these engines will go well beyond 200k miles with minimal issues. Every mechanic has his biases. Ray originally insulted Fords as much as anything - but his friendship with Arod from Powerstroke Tech Talk has caused his opinion to change a bit. Anyway, buy whatever you like, but taking one youtube mechanic's word is not the best option. See scotty kilmer, for example.

    Back in my younger days we started a racing club that would race street rods at the drag strip about fifteen miles from us. When we would meet in one of the local towns and drive where all the locals would cruise on weekends. When doing this we would have rubber chickens and throw them into other members cars when passed the or ended up next to each other at a stoplight. We also did a thing with pint jars and tropical fish. That we set on the center line of the street at the stoplights and either we put one down or picked it up, depending on if one was there or not. I thought about doing that with the girls we riding with us but we all decided to nix that in a hurry because of the trouble factor.

    Good Morning Ray, this was very interesting, especially since "everyone" touts the Pentastar as being a great engine....maybe after Ray replaces some of the worst plastic parts! Can't wait to see it all go back together, all back together and break-cleaned off and tested for oil leaks.....sure is a beautiful Jeep though...I hope the customer plans to keep it for a long time!

    I’m glad I get to see what’s involved with replacing that oil cooler. My wife has a 2016 jeep wrangler as well. Only 40000 miles on it but I see the headaches coming in replacing the oil cooler assembly. I’m planing on ordering the aftermarket aluminum one this summer. Just as a precaution. I can’t do the job myself, so I’ll ask my mechanic what it’s going to cost for the job. He’s ok with me getting the parts. Thanks Ray.

    I love watching your videos. I just want to give you and FYI. I did the passenger valve cover gasket on my 2014 wrangler last month. To get to that lower PCV bolt remove the fender flare and wheel liner. It makes it a whole lot easier to access the bolt without removing the battery tray and fuse box.

    Here is a cool thing to try when changing the crush washer on the oil plug. Take the cap off the oil and put a shop vac in the hole where the cap goes and turn it on. That will allow you to go underneath the vehicle and unscrew the bolt and you won't drop a bit of oil

    Hey Ray, been watching since right after you left the dealership.
    My wife unit hates your videos (and all other auto related vids I watch... you're in good company!). but I watch nonetheless.
    Just wanted to say I appreciate the shorter videos.... 35 minutes vs 1:10 vids. Just figured I'd give you some feedback.
    I work in healthcare and my job is all about diag and troubleshooting. Love your approach to problems. You'd be amazed at how close some of it is to working on the ICU.
    Love working on my cars on my off time.

    I like this guy, Ray, he's good. He reminds me of me. A great eye for detail. He's swift, quick, intelligent. He's intelligent. He also has a good command of the English language. Amazing! Will wonders never cease?
    So this Ray, of light, sounds like a Quality Control, expert. A, QC Manager. I certainly was. For, a legendary manufacturer. And so raise sounds very, seasoned, he's experienced, he's knowledgeable, informed, swift. I love that about RainMan Ray. He reminds me of me. I was real good at what I did. And for over five decades that's 50+ years. I was no-nonsense.
    When you know you know. When you're good, you're good. And when people have looked to you. For your expertise. Knowing that you are knowledgeable and highly seasoned. People all know we always get it right. We gain a reputation. A good reputation. Like I'm certain Ray, has. Yup. You know it. You can hear it. He reminds me of me.
    And so more power to you, Sir. And your customers and clientele. For taking their precious vehicle to a person who knows, what they are doing. As incompetence is quite rife. And you can see some right there. Under the hood. Under the bonnet. Ugh! As those little things do make a difference. And we all know it. Such as when things are loose and not secured. They can resonate with the vibrations. Which can interrupt, airflow. And since an engine is nothing more than,, and air pump. You don't want anything interrupting that flow of air. With nonresident vibrations. Nobody thinks that's important? It is! They are dummies.
    And so this guy,, Ray, doesn't just remind me of me. I also find resemblance to, Scotty Kilmer.! A true character indeed. With, like me over 50 years of experience. Who I love to follow also. Because he reminds me of me. We are both highly experienced and retired, Engineers.
    Though mine is not in mechanics. It's in, Major Network Television Broadcasting and Live Recordings and Broadcasts. Studio design, fabrication, construction, maintenance, operations.
    And it just cannot be amateur hour.. As NBC under the tutelage of RCA. Only hired the best engineers in the world.. And they hired me back in 1981. Really? I'm a good engineer? Who knew? And to tell me they want me sticking around for a while. For what was only supposed to be a short 4 month,, contract job. Quickly turned into, 20 years. As they wanted to keep me on board. And I let them. I knew who I was working for. The first, the best, the biggest, the most advanced, in the world. That led the way. Also manufacturing their own equipment, at RCA. When I got there. We had RCA Everything. But it was time to get some new stuff. And RCA was no longer manufacturing, Equipment.
    And so it's truly great and heartwarming. To see somebody like Ray, here. Actually figure out what is wrong! Bravo!
    Remember when jeeps were easy to service? Kind of like a VW beetle. What the hell is with this mess? How is anybody supposed to service this, complicated mess of, inaccessiblabilities. Chrysler ingenuity! Ugh!
    I think the only good thing that ever came up with was the Chrysler Turbine Car. I had one. That almost rolled over my feet. As I was crossing 11 Mile Road and Woodward Ave. in Detroit. Where I lived and was raised as a kid until I was 15. And deeply into the, car scene. As my dad took me to all the Auto Shows at, Cobo Hall. The stock auto shows. The custom auto shows. And the hydrofoil, races. On the Detroit River. It was Awesome. As a kid growing up in Detroit. From the mid-1950s throughout the 1960s. When Detroit was King of the Cars. And people had lives in nice middle-class jobs. It was a fruitful era. For the citizens of Detroit. It was Awesome. Back in the day. When we actually stood for something.
    Now? I don't know what this Jeep thingy is? It's sure no Jeep. It's just another overly complex, car. With a Jeep Facia. Jeep, look. But not really a Jeep. I mean what Jeep has air conditioning? They don't have a top generally. So they need no air conditioning. This is a Jeep Pussy Car. It's not a Jeep. It only looks like one. To fool everybody. As a Jeep only has a 4 cylinder motor. That is easily, serviced. That's not this.
    I got to use a Jeep CJ-2. In the summer of 1987. Now that was simple to maintain. That was an actual Jeep. It had no top. Which could be problematic during cloudburst's. As I experienced a couple of those. Ugh! No top! And you look weird. When you're sitting there at a red light getting poured upon. I mean what do you do? You smile at people gawking at you. To let them know you enjoy your Jeep experience fully. But I was happy to get my Chevy conversion van back out of the shop. It has a roof on it. It has a bed in the back. It's got seating for 7. And fun to take your friends out for rock 'n' roll shows. Not so much in a Jeep CJ-2.
    So I'm more of a Van Dweller. It's got a roof. It's got secure storage. It's not a Jeep.
