And be warned, you could either have bolts or tamper-proof torx head bolts. If its the tamper-proof torx, you can get a set for like 10 dollars at advanced.

You definitely spelt "nastiest" wrong. Do it again, and you're shoes will burst into flames.

Oh, I misread that. Just the engine... I thought it said the whole Jeep.

I wouldn't pay more than 100-200 for a high mileage engine.

Right on man. Glad you got it out.
Wait until you have to remove a broken exhaust stud on a Suzuki intruder 700.

1992 JEEP SPORT CHEROKEE - $700

FOUR OF THE FIVE RIMS WON'T HOLD AIR. SLOW LEAKS. WILL NEED TO REFINISH SURFACE. 4-WHEEL DRIVE HAS VACUUME LEAK, DOESNT SEEM TO WORK FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME.

Is this stuff easily fixable? Is this a good deal for a project build?

Rims won't hold air? They must be rusted pretty bad.

The vacuum leak will be an easy fix.

Depends. How many miles how much rust. Maybe offer 500 and take it from there.
