    heat vacuum motor

    As I was trying to get those two stupid top bolts out between engine and tranny while swapping my 4.0 in my wife's 88 xj, I broke the hose end off of that little vacuum motor that controls the flow of coolant to the heater core. What will happen if I just cut that whole vacuum motor out and...

    engine swap question

    I have an 88 xj (4.0 L) with a bad cylinder that I need to replace the engine on. I can get a 91 xj 4.0 (the whole jeep ) for nothing (it was wrecked). What is the difference in the engines between the 88 & the 91 ? What all would I need to steal from the 91 to make the engine work in the 88 ?

    no compression

    I have an 86 xj with a 2.5 L that is only a 3 binger at the moment. I have no compression on #1 cylinder. I am thinking it is valves, but want to get your opinion as well. It has no compression at all, doesnt burn much oil (no smokey exhaust) runs really rich (can smell how rich it is running)...
