2006. 4.0 V6 head gasket overheating > REBUILD

Like this?

 

I think I got them all. Should be 4

 

After all this. I think I'm going to put 10w30 oil in it from now on.
Full synthetic.
Shes over 200k miles.
Good idea??

 

Not gonna hurt anything. I am running 10w-30 in mine. Maybe a slight decrease in mpg, not super noticeable.

Do you run conventional/semi/“full” synthetic/or a real synthetic oil?

 

Currently ran 5w30 conventional.

 

Just figured since I replaced the chain and did all this work. Why not go a little thicker since shes getting older.

 

Yeah if running conventional I would for sure recommend 10w-30

 

Full synthetic or naw?

 

If you want to you can. If running conventional I would change every 3-3.5k miles.

 

ROYAL PURPLE it is then.

 

She runs!
But now I have check engine codes.

P0016 crankshaft position
Camshaft position
Correlation bank 1
Sensor A

P0018 crankshaft position
Camshaft position
Correlation bank 2
Sensor A

 

Cleared the codes. Let's see if they come back.

 

Same codes.....
Time to diag..

Good vid for you. However, if you're seeing this on both banks it makes me think you could have been 180degrees out when you aligned the timing marks. How did you determine TDC?

 

I got all 3 markings exactly on point.

 

Pics.

 

Did you put your finger on number 1 spark plug to ensure it was coming up on the compression stroke?

 

Unfortunately no. I had my flashlight in there and checked it. After the chain was on.

It takes about 5 full turns just for all the markings to match back up. That's the chain markings and all the cam markings.

 

I'm no expert, but I think your main timing chain is 1 roller off (retarded).
