how did the head look underneath? Could just be that the head gasket blew, but looking at it who knows how long it was ran like that. I see some scoring on the piston skirting but it doesn't look terrible. I'd probably clean up the pistons, install a new head gasket and the other head, and run it. If you have good oil pressure and no coolant loss after that you should be ok.

i would have been suspicious when i showed up and it was already heated up. still a good deal though because you have the extra motor.

how can you see the piston skirts with them still in the motor?

dukie564

err...sleeves...whatever

That's what I figured, even if he buys the engine from me and we swap it he's still only in it for $2500 which ain't a bad deal at all.

jakbob

still a good price... dont forget to sell him a tail light lol

i wasnt trying to correct you, i thought you saw something i didnt...

mikefrost

Make that $2520 cause I already sold him the tail light LOL

hey guys, I flexed my xj last night to get measurements for bumpstops. But now the jeep pulls to the right. It could and maybe is coincidence that I noticed it now, but anyone have any ideas on why? It doesnt do it under breaking anymore ( so no stuck piston ) and the alignment was out. But i put it back it and well still doing it. any help?

So after wheeling last night my red XJ idles high and won't shift into 2nd gear anymore. What would cause the high idle? The TPS? Where is it and how hard is it to replace?

NattyBoh

Any codes?

mikefrost

Nope

Culprite

next time i am up there will swing by, thank you sir




thanks

can you shift at all?

dukie564

TPS would cause both of those. You probably got it wet. Let it dry out real well (also the connections). Use dielectric grease in the connection boot when you put it back on. Do the same thing with the IAC.

mikefrost

You da man mang

I'm just gonna go ahead and replace it and change my transmission fluid today anyway
