lmao, that's a good one.

 

Thats just wrong in so many ways.....ehheheheheh

 

Anthony, I hate to hear that your jk ate its engine. If you need a hand pulling/replacing/rebuilding it, holler at me. I'd be glad to help you out. 45k is what I have read when a bunch of them eat a bearing. Check the number 1 rod bearing

 

Looked it over yesterday. From what I can tell, I am leaning towards a spun bearing. Didn't drop the oil pan yet, I plan on doing that this evening. Pulling a plug wire at a time had no effect on the noise. It sounds louder if I listen down below the engine. Could still be a rod, who knows till I drop the pan ...............

Going to look into picking up a set of main bearings, hopefully it didn't chew up the crank or any of the journals. Might also look at some of the conversion shops to see if I can pick up a low mileage take-out 3.8L. I really hate to throw money into another one of these crappy mini-van motors, but the funds just aren't there for the Hemi swap. 20k for a turnkey swap ...................



Not loving the Jeep right now ...................



BTW: Steve, your killing me. Saw Recon yesterday morning, and again this morning. Seeing your Jeep, and not being in mine, is like torture!




Anthony

 

Don't know if they make oversized rod/main bearings yet for these motors. If so you can probably get the crank turned. You definately want to go get it polished no matter what.

 

Im just glad to finally get her out on the road. Hope everything turns out ok with yours.

 

Swaybar disconnected..........Three tires on the ground.......Thinking I could go a little higher.............
