i think i've talked myself into swapping the gaskets. might be a "fun" little project. Car never overheated so hopefully nothing is warped.

Send the heads to a machine shop.

FYI: 5000 bucks to have the gasket swapped at my local dealer.

Surely that includes new heads, or machine work, and new timing chains.

5 yr warranty expired in march

close enough that a good dealer can file for a good will repair. can't hurt to try. sometimes theyll cover a % of the repair

Jeep engine rebuild project on told until i get an answer on jeep stepping up...

Starting tearing the jeep apart. I’ll start a write up to show the progress. Probably a month job for my schedule right now.

Put a couple of hours in today. Just undressed the clunker.

Removed bumper/skid plate/winch.
Removed grill. Headlights. Radiator support bracket deal.

I’ll list parts and tools I need as I go.

I would never attempted this without this gem of a vid



Still super annoyed an engine with only 28k on it popped but no biggie. I’ll get it done.

Random question. Power steering fluid reservoir is empty. That prob 100% mean I have a leak? Or just top it off and send it?

both. It went somewhere, but oh well. 5 years to lose 1/2cup of fluid? Not worth the effort to repair honestly.

have you ever checked it before? They’re always low.

Jeep is ready to dive in…

Condenser. Radiator. Fan out.

Fun stuff today.
Started tearing it down where I didn’t have enough space to flip the hood. Had to put it together. Move it. Flip hood and then move it to where I wanted to work on it.

Intended to leave the bumper on but the dang jeep is too tall to get to shit with it on.

Found empty power steering fluid and a fucking mouse party. The heat shield on the hood was used for there needs. But they have been evicted and they seemed to take care of the wires and didn’t chew them.

Onward. Prob a very leisurely 4 hours of work to get there.

anybody have a strong opinion on gaskets replacements. i have multiple spots that are dripping oil so while i'm in there im going to replace the turd gaskets.

planning on buying this complete set.

good idea or go mopar?

 

[TexasMojitoRubi]

minimal progress over the long weekend.
plenum is off. pain in the butt
power steering leak found. i hate leaks

almost cleared enough crap to start opening up the engine.

 

[alphawolff]

id always suggest mopar gaskets. only reason to go aftermarket is if you cant get oem ones for whatever reason

I need the parts guru on the board. Power steering is leaking from one of these lines. Just need to prob pop in a new o ring. I can’t find a parts diagram for it. Pic of the lines.
