This is a first post for me...I am just curious if anyone knows anything about Flexplates. I have a 97 XJ. I had the engine replaced back in January and ever since then, the engine has been making a clicking noise from the bottom of the engine on the passenger side. I took it back to the garage that replaced the engine for me and they have been trying to fix the problem since. Along the way...they have come up with solutions to fix the problem that did not work. I have had my Jeep in the garage 6-7 times now and I am growing impatient and concerned with the competence of the mechanics.
Anyhow, recently they have determined that the problem is a cracked Flexplate. After reading other posts, it sounds like this is a real possiblity. My question is can the flexplate be damaged with an engine install or is the timing a coincidence?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
