Sitting and waiting for the the new JKU to show up, So i start reading on other forums about the Valve tick issue with the pentastar V6.

Has anyone here had or have friends with the issue?

I wont lie Its got me spooked a bit.

 

7500 km on mine and no ticking. I keep my fingers crossed....

 

mine was built April 19 2012, not a problem so far.
I Love my Jeep ;o)-

 

10k kms and all good. keeping my fingers crossed

 

So it really is a Hit and miss thing...

For the guys that dont have it yet, WHat Oil are you running?

 

reg 5W30 and changing it every 5k, not waiting till the oil change light turns on.

 

I havnt heard of any with issues built after Feb 2012, and I use 5w30 (reg oil)

 

I've got 3500km on the clock and mine has valve train noise on start up for 2 or 3 seconds till the oil pressure builds.
I never really thought anything of this but is this a major issue with the new 3.6

 

From What i have read, Looks like a total Left Head replacement might be needed.

 

C'mon, really?

If it is a head problem , the noise will 'not' go away after the first few seconds
