Loose Oil Galley Bolts in Engine

[Volt0]

I see postings for this, over in the Wrangler forums, and some on YT. Is this an issue that's been resolved before we started purchasing Gladiators?

With the service bulletin and the pretty clear nature of the issue, its one that should be no challenge to get covered under warranty.

I have worked on 3.6 Pentastar engines since they were introduced. Both versions, original and Pentastar Upgrade. A majority of oil galley plugs are not tight, but still in place. Here is one that had a head replaced at an outside shop, that the plugs weren't installed in. This caused the variable valve lift and variable valve timing to be inoperative. When I remove valve covers from any 3.6, checking and tightening the oil galley plugs is part of my routine.


Incidentally, the two galley closest to the phases are the lifter oil galleys, the lower galley feeds the variable valve lift.
