If you’ve ever looked under the hood of a Chrysler 3.6L Pentastar engine and thought, “There’s no way I could take this apart,” I’ve got some good news: you absolutely can—with the right preparation and patience. Bellow you will find a list and links to everything you need, including the links to every important step on the videos from MotorCity

Recently, my wife and I completed a major repair on our 2015 Chrysler Town & Country:
✅ Replaced all 24 lifters
✅ Replaced all 24 rocker arms
✅ Swapped out all 4 camshafts
✅ Installed new spark plugs while everything was open

The Prep Work is Key

Before diving into the job, I did a lot of research. The most helpful resource by far was a two-part video series by MotorCity Mechanic on YouTube:

• Chrysler/VW 3.2 and 3.6 Rocker Arm Replacement Part 1
• Chrysler/VW 3.2 and 3.6 Rocker Arm Replacement Part 2

These videos break it all down clearly and give you a solid visual reference, especially if you’ve never tackled internal engine components before.

Time Spent: 11 Hours

This wasn’t a quick job—but it wasn’t unmanageable either. My wife and I spent 11 hours total, working carefully and methodically. Having the right tools and all the replacement parts on hand beforehand made a big difference. We didn’t rush, and we made sure to keep everything organized.

Final Thoughts

Honestly, this job wasn’t as hard as it seems—especially with preparation. Watching the videos multiple times and taking notes really helped. And having a second set of hands (thanks to my wife!) made it smoother and even kind of fun.

If you’re on the fence about tackling a major engine repair like this yourself, let me tell you:
If I did it, you can too.

Tips Before You Start

• Label everything, and take photos or better individual videos of everything you take apart as you go. Then you can play back videos in reverse and put everything back together.
• Take your time—it’s not a race
• Watch the MotorCity Mechanic videos a couple of times
