The OEM pump is the best... period. It amazes me that people replace it with an aftermarket. It's not even expensive.

Can also be fuel pressure related such as injector leaking down, fuel pressure regulator not in spec or fuel pump not holding pressure after shutdown.

Forum is not letting me edit my post. You would be replacing the ring from the top, but I'd still recommend putting the head back on and perform a compression test first.

You would be replacing the rings from the bottom. I'd recommend putting it together and do a proper compression test. Oil draining past the rings on a cold engine doesn't necessarily mean bad or broken rings. As stated above, there are many things that could go wrong with the ring replacement...

Just did this 6 months ago. First off, I used the OEM thermostat and waterpump with their included gaskets. I cleaned the surfaces up with scotchbright and installed both using the supplied gaskets dry. No leaks or issues. In my 40 years of wrenching, I haven't used sealant on gaskets. I...

I replaced mine with a stock one at 155k miles as a precautionary measure when I replaced the radiator. Great quality and not expensive.

Common problem with the XJ. I tackled it a few years ago on my '94. I followed the advice below and welded some metal back into the grove that had been worn into the knuckle: http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=911655...

I found a narrower T60 socket at autozone when I did mine about five years ago. It just barely fit. I put it into the adapter nut first and then slipped a small beaker bar into the socket. It wasn't easy to break loose but it did. Others have used other methods. Don't dispare as it can be...

I just got a stock lower hose from the local dealer just a month ago for my '94 4.0. It was in stock with the jeep part number printed on it and had the spring.

I ordered a set from them about three years ago in tan. Fit perfectly, just like the factory fit. They still look like new. I'm happy with them.

That's how I did mine three years ago. Still no clunking and perfect brakes. Highly recommend the mig approach.

Just did mine using OEM. Cleaned the surfaces up well and put the gasket on dry. Torqued to spec. No leaks. Dry gaskets go on dry. Adding silicone just creates more places for leaks to form ... Think about it :-). Helps to remove the radiator to gain access.

I had that same problem for about a year. Slight loss of fluid over time but no sign of a leak or mechanical issue. One hot summer day I finally found it ... very slight steam coming from the front of the radiator. It must have only been leaking under pressure or when hot. I replaced the...

'94-'95 come equipped with that noise from the factory. My 94 has been making that sound since new ... 150,000 miles and counting.

Not to hijack, but I purchased a Visteon aluminum radiator http://www.evisteon.com/prod_serv/underhood/heat_transfer.shtml a couple of years ago from a local Levine parts store. It works great and still looks like new.

I've heard people have used a couple of small screwdrivers to move the tabs holding the two shifter halfs together but that didn't work for me. I ended up just streching the inner shift boot over the shifter (it will stretch that wide without breaking ... at least when new). I probably...

Another tip. Lay the headliner material very lightly onto the board. It will stick. Don't feel compelled to press it down hard ... you'll end up with hand prints or other indentations on the material. Spread it using a very light touch.

I had to find a pick-and-pull type junkyard near me to source a headliner when mine fell apart. I had to pull it out of a '92, carefully pull the old headliner material off and glue new headliner material on. Came out great but sourcing a decent headliner board wasn't easy. I"d suggest...

This is long but (hopefully) worthwhile: For the last five months, I’ve been struggling to identify a loud howling noise I’ve been hearing while traveling between 45-55 MPH. Since I’ve finally solved the problem, I figured I’d share my diagnostics approach (using a sound recorder) and solution...

Try pumping the clutch a few times when you come to a stop and see if it makes it easier to put into gear. If it does, I'd suspect the master or slave. If it doesn't make it easier, it could still be the master or slave but also may be a warped clutch that just gets worse as it heats up. Does...
