Well I would just buy another mystery motor off a scrapper, considering they would want as much as I could rebuild one for its not really the way to go for me. Also in reality I have been tossing the stroker idea around for that little extra torque and any mystery motor should have gaskets seals and a tune up while out while possibly needing timing set and or whatever else. A fresh one from a late model tj would be my only considerations but they are rare. So rebuild. Re man stroker.. These are on the table again and will be moving ahead at a snails pace.
jeeps got a knock. needs bearings and who knows what else... FML seams like its justone thing after another. well guess I need to make some decisions and talk to the wife about how I am going to afford to rebuild a motor this year.. I don't suspect it will last the summer and I am uncertain what combination I will end up running. but to build the stroker minimum it will cost me is 1800in parts and machining up to 3000 depending on how extravagant I go. to freshen up a 4.0l block with new pistons rings aftermarket cam bearings and seals new timing set and a valve lap were talking in the neighborhood of 1000-1300. 330 for cam lifters and timing set, 50-100 for main rod cam bearings, 130 for high flow oil pump 180 for pistons and rings 100 for seals and maybe 250 for the valve lap and rods pressed onto pistons and cam bearings pressed into block ..... iff the stroker crank dosnt need anything as well as the rods then its another 600+ on top of the 1100 figure just to get the right pistons...
Cool buddy, yes I am sorry for being indecisive, just haven't had time to do it all. You know. Hope you have fun at jeepapalooza, I hear there's gonna be a grand Cherokee jump.
Well next time we meet it should be good, I'm certain once I have my tires balanced that they will be much nicer on the highway, plus's my steering/phb geometry is causing bump steer bad so taking the family down the byway isn't prudent. Need to do a once over re n re on the whole front spring perches shock mounts and phb location... But that will wait till I'm off in august
so the wifes talking like she just wants to go camping locally on account of the kid and she really wants to go to the highland games, sooo I may be siting this naninmo run out but trying to maybe hit something closer to our location. Im not really sure yet....
