This is part 3 of my Pentastar 3.6L tear down series. In this video I take you along as I take apart a Chrysler Pentastar 3.6L while discussing the various parts of the engine and explain how they work. In this particular video I get into the lower end of the engine. I remove the oil pump and dissect it while explaining how it works. I then continue to take the short block apart further by removing the windage tray, pistons and connecting rods while explaining how they work. I also give a brief explanation of how rotational force is created by the engine and how this is translated to the drive wheels of the vehicle.

Note: This video only provides a high level over view of the various parts of this engine. It is superficial in nature and is only intended to give the viewer an idea of how this engine is put together and how it works. No detailed specifications are given.
