  • In this video, I'll explain the benefits of the 05 and later rocker arm and show how to install these upgraded rocker arms. This also a great time to replace the lash adjusters (lifters) if there is any lifter tick. Also, show you how they operate with the engine running. With an epic fail but funny.

Iv been working on a set of valve covers myself, polishing them up like you have done in a previous video. I believe in my ram 4.7 as it's been in my family since 80k and I'm soon to hit 207k. No engine issues ever, knock on wood, so it's time to show love and replace lifters and the rockers. Thanks for the tips.

    Greetings Martin, I have a 2003 Jeep Liberty 3.7 and I'm in the process of changing hydraulic lifters as most of them are Not plunging. The Jeep overheated about 6 years ago. I managed to run it once in a while. Anyway, I went to our part store here O'Reilly's ordered some lifters and he told me that they don't stock engine internal parts now a days because, "no one do engine overhaul anymore, they just buy rebuilt engine". I told him that's bs. There are still people who rebuild their engines. So the bottom line, I'm not going back there to buy the rest of lifters and rockers in that store. Thanks for the great tips and videos.

      Okay, Rockauto has a Cloyes set #90393SF listed under 2008 dodge Dakota 4.7 for $270.00. This will have everything you will need, except the toner wheel from a 2002 4.7. Grind the rivets from the back side and punch then out enough the remove the toner wheel, Swap the 02 onto the 08 sprocket and weld up the rivets. I spoke with Cloyes about what I was doing and he agreed it would work. And mine is working great. Cloyes has a video on youtube with both applications if you need to watch and see what they did differently. Best of luck.

    Ok I got some of these upgraded rockers from a 4.7, I see your point and the issue with the original rockers, but I also see that the new rockers created another issue, lack of oil to rocker bearings, I have seen a few videos and the majority of rockers that come off are from the exhaust valves so I’m thinking of installing the upgraded rockers on exhaust valves and leaving the originals for the intake valve as they put out a lot more oil.

    Would you use these if you already have solid lash adjusters? I would think they are not needed in that case.

    What an amazing tutorial about the rockers and lifters... Really really helpful. I will do my lifters myself on my Jeep 3.7 2006 cause they make sometimes noise for a coupe of seconds at startup. I wonder where can I get those chrome shinny valve covers for my 3.7 ??

    • @martinbuilt
      @martinbuilt  Před 3 lety

      You may want to try some Marvel Mystery oil that could cure your lifter noise. On your next oil change use half a quart. Then if that doesn't fix it then I would replace the lifters.
      If you want your valve covers to look like those look up how to Polish magnesium.

    Hello Martin, I hope you are well. I have a 2007 Jeep Commander with a 3.7 engine. I am going to change the engine crankcase seal and I want to change the connecting rod metals. Are they in standard? I have a doubt if giving torque will bind the crankshaft?

  • @bradleycrenshaw6778

    Mr. Martin thank you so much for what you do and sharing your vast knowledge about the 4.7. Because of you I am no longer scared to do these modifications to my vehicle. I am currently in the middle of a 4.7 to 4.7 swap for my 04 ram 1500 4.7 SLT 4X4 because of a blown head gasket and milky oil. I bought another donor 04 ram 1500 4x4 because it currently has a strong 4.7 with no issues. I do have a question if you have time. Both trucks have the 8th digit N in the VIN. The donor is an automatic tranny while the recipient is a 5spd. Watching your video on replacing the stock cams with the earlier HO cams you scared the daylights out of me. You made mention about the PCM plugs. The donor (automatic tranny) has a 4 plug PCM while my truck has a 3 plug PCM. Is this due to the difference in the auto vs 5spd or am i going to run into the tone ring issue? Also my new to me cams are marked 1414AB and 1413C. Did I do good on the pick and will they work? Again thank you so much for your time and devotion to this channel. Sending you some educational funding as soon as i post this !!

    • @martinbuilt
      @martinbuilt  Před 2 lety

      Thank you Bradley for the kind words and generous donation I really appreciate that.
      Yes the camshafts you got the 1414 and the 1413 are HO Cam shafts.
      Now the situation with the number of plugs on the ECM on your donor 04 seems a bit odd that it only has 3 and this could be because of the manual transmission the 4th plug is for automatic transmission control.
      To verify that both of them have the same tone ring on the crank shaft or reluctor gear I would verify that they have the same camshaft gear on the passenger side compare the rectangle holes and if they are in the same location then you are good to go.
      I would remove the Cam gear from the engine that has the blown head gasket lay that Cam gear up against the donor vehicle engine and compare carefully to verify that they are the same or not.
      Let me know what you find you can always contact me on my Facebook Messenger there is a link in the description of all my videos.

    I know this is at least 3 years ago. The links (20.05.23) are all out of stock for the new type of rockers as well. I was just wondering if you have used the rocker locks that are made for the 3.7 & 4.7L as well and if you think they would be of value and last the distance?

    • @martinbuilt
      @martinbuilt  Před 4 lety

      Yes you can, They do make a special tool to compress the spring. You will also need to use compressed air to the cylinder to keep the valve from falling into the cylinder.

  • @thomasvaninwagen2256
    @thomasvaninwagen2256 Před 3 lety

    I have a 01 Dodge Dakota it dropped #8 rocker and I don't have compression so It probably dropped the valve. I haven't looked down the plug hole to see how bad. Than you for the video.

    • @martinbuilt
      @martinbuilt  Před 3 lety

      I bet you dropped a valve seat and the valve is hung open and that's why the rocker came off unfortunately you probably gonna have to replace the cylinder head or a machine shop should be able to repair the head.

    Hey Martin! Love all your 4.7 videos! You have no idea how much I have learned from your videos!! Thank you. Wondering what rocker arm brand you put in with the new design? Huge price difference and origin of manufacture. My rockers seem all right, but have old style you mention in video (2001 dodge dakota 4.7). Swapping all lifters and seems like good time to change to new style. Received DNJ (made in china). Got the similar priced EngineTech rockers you mentioned above coming this week. I am torn if I should just leave the old ones or not. Just don't want to put in low quality arms, but think the new design makes sense. Also everything says the Melling MR-1345 rocker doesn't fit 2001 but fits 2002, do you think that is a screw up or is there something to it.

    • @martinbuilt
      @martinbuilt  Před 3 lety

      Thank you, I really appreciate that. I like the OEM rockers and I just get them from the local Pick-a-Part and them just clean them up with some Totally Awesome and reoil before installing them.
      The Melling MR-1345 will fit all 99-13 3.7 and 4.7 engines.

  • @seandavis8210
    @seandavis8210 Před 3 lety

    Great video! I’m rebuilding a 4.7 for my Ram. The donor motor came from an 05. I shouldn’t have any problems cleaning up the rockers in the 05 donor for the rebuild right? Im trying just to spend money where it benefits the most. I’m doing the 08+ upgrades on the build so I found an intake and I need to buy the adapter for the TB. Also doing the ATI under pulley. Mainly my question is if I clean them up the used 05 rockers should be fine on my rebuild right?

    • @martinbuilt
      @martinbuilt  Před 3 lety

      Yes those rockers from your 05 will work perfectly like you said just clean up and install them also a good thing to blow some compressed air through that smaller hole of the rocker.

  • @SeanDIY
    @SeanDIY Před 3 lety

    Would you recommend replacing all the lifters if 1 is bad? My thoughts is you already have the valve cover off. Cheaper (time wise) to just knock them all out, no?

    • @martinbuilt
      @martinbuilt  Před 3 lety +1

      Yes I would recommend at least the one valve cover you have off to change them all out especially if you're doing this on your grand Cherokee on the passenger side valve cover very hard to get out because of air conditioning heater hoses and wiring that are all in the way.
