careful. Someone posted over on JeepForum that a few guys got busted over there a few weeks back (probably doing something stupid), so chances are they'll be watching it extra well, so don't do anything dumb.

He doesn't need Zinc for break in, the motor is new enough to just use moly...
Yes I highly recommend conventional for atleast the first 3K miles then if you REALLY want to you can run a blend but I would stick with conventional. Is the valvetrain all new? I am assuming you have hydraulic lifters... a bad lifter would give you the valve tick aswell as the incorrect valve lash. and yes it could also be a loud injector. Touch the valve covers when it is making the tick, if you can feel it, its not an injector.

Last I heard, it was open again. My Wrangler buddies have been going there a lot lately, and they haven't had any trouble. I was avoiding it, but like I said, i heard it was open. I've been told the signs are gone.

I don't know SBC at all. I hardly know the workings of the 4.0L. It had been idling with the A/C on for an hour, so it was about 250° and I wasn't touching anything even with gloves on. I'd be happy to pop the hood for you sometime and grab a couple beers if you're in the area.

Also, I love waking up to smell of fire, cats and diesel...At first the cats were good...they ate the mice and rats and other ****. Then once all of that was gone, and we kicked the dogs out, the cats became an infestation. Awesome. Army solution- Trap them, humanley (morphine) put them down, and burn them. Worst part: my buddy come outside and goes "damn, that smells good...whats for dinner?" Had to walk away...
