Model: Cherokee
Engine: 4.8L Stroker
MYSTERY SOLVED:
I pulled the pan last night. Warranteed my pump today just in case. Took the original pump that came off the 94 block and re-installed it into my Stroker. I held a jug of oil up to the pickup and had my wife run the drill. Oil came pouring out of the timin cover. I have a missing gallery plug. Either it fell out, which is highly unlikely. Or I never installed it, which is far more likely. Anyway. I have the front of the engine all torn down and will install the plug and re-assemble tomorrow. I'm just glad I caught it before it wreaked total havoc on my new engine. Thanks for all the help guys! That's why I come here!!
