Solved - ISH ;-) So - the misfire is solved - together with about dozen of other code like air-to - fuel ratio disbalance. About 6 different codes were caused by.....incorrect O2 Sensors!!!!!!! SELF INFLICTED - but How you ask? See the screenshot from RockAuto for 2013 jku O2 Sensors: As...

Not yet - I want to drive it a bit and see the issue come back - I do have all of the rockers and lifters, solenoids and actuators ready ;-). The fact that cam/crank re-learn changed the whole dynamic of misfire - gives me hope. I am also reaching out to pine hollow diagnostics - Ivan has a...

Well, after everything said and done, I ended up buying a high end ODB2 tool - xtool d8 and performed Cam/Crank relearn and now most of misfires went away. Now from time to time I get cyl 2 misfire, but it does not trigger check engine and still produces good trip record. I am just wondering...

Thats a great idea - will drop oil pen first, especially due to the fact that it has a tiny leak. Thanks.

yes - 111k extactly

I wonder if there is a way to get behind the chain cover with a borescope camera to see the timing alignment notch... will see - its a major repair. I guess after this amazing experience I should not be afraid to buy bmw, lol. Though at this point I think its more reliable then Jeeps

Yea, saw this one, this guys is actually next to me in Long Island. Regardless, just bought oem rockers and lifters 24 and 24. once I pull both rocker covers and align the cams with halls on top in all 4 cams - would it not mean that timing is set properly?

And then the question begs if I am going under timing cover - do I replace the chain and tensioners as well???

So just off the phone with dealer mech, and the guy is saying that the jeep now throws p000d and p018 codes, Cam position slow response. He is suggesting that I double check the timing chain - meaning put into certain position to see if everything allignes perfectly. Not exactly sure if its...

And yes you can DIY Hemi swap, check this guy out: Can run about 12k - but you need tools and time..

Nah I am pretty self reliant, would not go to the dealer unless it was not explainable. And $500 fee I paid is a kick in the face for doubting my own skills - basically they told me same thing that I told them - and I came out with net zero. Actually make it net - $500 Just need right sockets...

Yeah, If I am tearing into this thing this deep , I will replace all rockers and lifters regardless of if they are good or bad. Its another $250 i can get them for. OEM parts. Just really hope thats the issue. Hate to dump more time and cash into this rig and find out its something else and...

David suggested to pull rockers, said he sees them failing across the board causing sporadic misfires. I checked them - but no way to be 100% sure unless you pull them completely out. Sooo, considering that rout, will see, did not have a chance to talk to him yet - he texted me.

I am kind of torn - invested so much time into the car - trading it in will be like pretty much giving up. Not used to that feeling

David actually called back and we scheduled call for tomorrow
