Lifter/Rocker Replacement

[Najamerson]

I have a 2015 JKU Sport w/ 107,000 miles on it.

I'm starting to get all the parts I need to change out the lifters/rockers on my 3.6. Other than the lifters, rockers, and valve cover gaskets, what else would you change while you had everything broke down and apart?

On a side note, I recently changed the oil cooler housing, spark plugs, knock sensors, and thermostat housing.

Thanks in advance.

What brand? And is it best to go with stock or perhaps upgraded cam shafts

I haven't purchased any as of yet. But usually Rock Auto. Also, I heard some people say they used Melling parts

I wouldn't use Rock Auto for critical parts.

Are you doing it as a needed repair or because of 105000 miles?

I'm doing it because of the lifter tick/noise

definitely use Mopar parts, they may run a little more but not the thing you want to redo because of cheap parts.

Recently had the driver side repaired, rockers/lifters cams

Aren't MOPAR parts what caused the lifter tick problem initially

I wouldn't say so; problem with mass produced parts yes, which is still a possibility with aftermarket parts.

my opinion, I didn't see an advantage to go with Melling, they are cheaper, but better?
Wouldn't surprise me if they all come out of the same Factory slightly different specs
