2000 dodge intrepid 2.7! engine open need a better diag... - 4/11/2008 5:16:37 AM    leonardobubbico   Posts: 6 Joined: 3/19/2008 Status: offline Hi i have posted before. bout a month ago i thought my engine blew. Upon inspecting the car myself and doing extensive research. I manage to still think my engine is salvable. I found out that its definite timing. Engine is apart. I dont have much money right now so i replaced the broken chain guide and tensioner and tensioner arm only, which is the only visible damage, besides all the sluge in all compartments. well anyway, i put all back together, engine wont turn over. so of course i suspect jumped chain. Now im back in the cylinder heads got everything else removed and Now im having a problem getting the crankshaft wheel off with the puller. the puller i have probably destroyed the thread in the crankshaft, OK but i also noticed some rocker arms are very loose.like 1/4 inch between rocker arm roller and cam lobes, are they supposed to just move. I mean i can actually remove them with nothing. Im wondering if i have some bent valves or if its normal when timing is out of wack. also is there an alternative to pull the crankshaft wheel. Thanks  sorry guys its a 2000 dodge intrepid 2.7 < Message edited by leonardobubbico -- 4/13/2008 9:04:44 PM > _____________________________ Make & Year :Dodge Intrepid 2000 2.7 Mileage when first bought : 48,887 Mileage Now : 54,442 Post #: 1
