I had the heater control valve break on my 95 4.0. A new one at O'Reilly's was only $15. Don't know if it takes the same part or not.

95 XJ, 4.0 4wd Just had engine mounts and brackets replaced and now my tach, speed and fuel gauges are going crazy. They will work just fine for awhile and then jump all around and the low fuel lite comes on. Usually after going over rough terrain or bump. Anyone have this problem?

Should I replace the bearings with .001 right away or can I wait atleast until my next oil change (maybe my neck will be ready by then also). What are the chances of reusing the one piece rubber oil pan gasket? It will be alot easier the second time (dropping the pan). Can't say that I had...

All, Thanks. It is the heater control valve. $15.99 at AZ (according to thier website). Thanks again. Adam

Replaced all the bearings with STD and they all plastigaged at .0015. Changed the rear main and buttoned it up today. Started it up and the knock was gone (for a little while). The knock is still there ever so slightly. Maybe I have super hearing or should have gone with the .001s all the...

95 xj 4.0 This plastic fitting or junction is located on the passenger side of the engine, has three coolant hoses and what appears to be a vacum line and vacum switch. Located just in front of the fire wall and one of the hoses that run into it run parallel with the valve cover just above the...

One thing that is puzzling me is that when I plastigaged these bearings they showed less clearance on the most worn part of the bearing i.e. the portion showing copper. How is this possible. I thought I would see more clearance in this area than the rest of the bearing. I also had a hard time...

95 xj 4.0 Ok, just plastigauged all my existing rod bearings. Although very worn, they were all within .0015-.002. (more towards .002) Does this mean that the rod bearings were not the cause of my knocking noise? What else should I check? The main bearings don't create a knocking noise...

Eagle, Thanks again. I do have one dealer here that I will check on Monday. If not thanks for the resource. Accurate Power also has some on thier website.

Great, thanks.

Can anyone please tell me the bearing clearance for the rod and main bearings. I know I need to invest in a FSM!! Just can't afford one now. Putting in new rod and main bearings and need to know the clearance when I platigauge them. 95 xj 4.0 Thanks

I was hoping to avoid dealing with the stealership. I haven't been able to find .001 anywhere online so maybe that will be my only choice. Thanks again. Iguess I will have to wait until Mon to call the dealership. Eagle, You know Fort Leaonard Wood and how far out in the woods I am...

ok, got it. thanks. next question is: Where to buy bearings and what brand? Autozone carries Hi-Tech and Clevite but thier sizes show .010, .020 and .030 "oversize". I know the back of my bearing says .001. Is there oversize and undersize? Need to order soon so I can get back on the road...

I forgot to mention that my oil pressure never dropped. I just had a knocking sound. What else should I be doing while I have the pan off? Already plan on the rear main and Main bearings. Kinda new at this internal stuff. Any suggestions would be appreciated. oil pressure was at about 37...

Eagle, I was hoping you would be here tonite. Should I replace the same mix? I ordered STD bearings today before I tore apart the engine. Do I need to order .001 also? Should I put in the standard bearings and then plastigauge and go from there?

no scoring, every thing looks good except the bearings themselves. I haven't taken a main bearing out yet though.

I just pulled the rod bearings out of my 95 xj 4.0. They were definetly the cause of the knocking I've been hearing. My question is: Am I supposed to have a mix of STD and .001 bearings? The top bearing has .001 stamped on the back and the bottom has STD stamped. Is this normal? Should I...

I really appreciate the help Eagle and Mark. I know what I will be doing this weekend. I hope it is loose bolts. Thanks again. Adam

Eagle, You're right to assume that it is an automatic. That's something I will have to look into. I'm still pretty sure the knock is coming from the engine, as I have spent alot of time under the Jeep trying to pin-point the knock. It seems to be coming from just forward of the drain plug...

Hello All, I am new to the xj world and have recently purchased a 95 cherokee with the 4.0 HO. The engine has 122,000 miles on it and runs great except for a knocking sound from the rear bottom of my engine. I have read other posts about the same problem and the advice was to drop the oil pan...
