That is exactly what it is. I just finished rebuilding the 4.0 in my XJ and ran into exactly the same problem. loosened and readjusted the manifolds then torque back down cured it.

Ok so my 01 XJ sport has developed a knock that i'm fairly certain is bottom end.....not flywheel after researching. My question is, i have found a used 4.0 complete engine but i'm certain it is a Renix per the year of the jeep it's in. Everything on my engine is in good shape as far as head...

Anyone know of any good companies or websites where i can find an affordable cover for my XJ? Not concerned with top of the line, just something to keep the dirt, dust and rain off it while i'm saving for a new motor.

Anyone have an idea on a 2001 which windshield washer fluid pump works the rear window?? I just pulled the fender liner out and see there are 2 separate pumps.........not sure right off hand which one goes to the front and which one to the back.

Need some help with this. I'm doing away with the rear liftgate wiper simply because i think it looks better without it. I've seen lower trim package XJ's that don't have the rear wiper and they have a plug that covers the hole where the wiper assembly comes through..........i'm trying to find...

Yea i don't have inspections here in my county so the airbag issue isn't a problem. I also have an aftermarket wheel on my 01 tacoma and the turn signals don't turn themselves off anymore so no issue there either. Any help with finding the Grant part number for the pre-96 adapter?? I've...

Anyone know if Grant or another company makes a 9 bolt steering wheel adapter that would fit my 01 Sport?? Looking to put either a Budnik or Billet Specialties wheel on it.

Yes. Interesting, i've ran fram filters on my Tacoma since i bought it new in 01. i'm considering either a Mopar or K&N though. I may have to look into that before i come to conclusions that the motor is toast.

Ok so here's the story, just finished reassembling the 4.0 in my 2001 4wd auto. Complete rebuild except for crank, rods and pushrods. Motor has run fine and i have put just a little over 400 miles on it for break in purposes. After dropping in the motor i used a fram oil filter and 10w30 dino...

Looking to find the round plug that goes in place of where the rear wiper goes through the rear gate. I believe this to be on lower end XJ's that don't have the rear wiper as part of it's trim package. I stumbled upon one of these at the JY but let my friend have it for his XJ and would like...

Ok so having an issue after getting my motor back in after a rebuild on my 01 sport auto 4x4. As soon as i crank it up it will spit and sputter for a couple seconds then the motor suddenly revs up beyond 4000rpm and i have to shut it down for fear it will go higher and damage my newly rebuilt...

Actually already tried the hammer persuasion on the starter and no go but i think i know what it is and i feel stupid admitting it if it works. I painted the block before reassembly and didn't sand the paint off the connection points on the block for the ground wires that attach to...

I will try cleaning all the connections tomorrow. Anyone have a picture of the passenger side engine bay so i can make sure i have all the ground cables connected correctly? There are 2 grounds that each bolt to separate bolts behind the alternator on the block and there is also a ground that...

Ok so 01 sport automatic 4x4, just finished getting the motor reinstalled after a rebuild and as i'm getting ready to fire it up for the first time i get nothing as i turn the key to "start". The battery is good and fully charged, all the lights and electronics turn on as well as dim down when...

Anyone right off hand know the thread size for the starter bolts? 01 XJ sport, Auto 4wd. I lost the lower bolt somewhere and can't find it.

Ok so thanks so far to all the answered questions while building the 4.0 in my 2001 XJ. Next question, what is the proper placement for the head bolts?? There are seven that have threads above the bolt head, 2 with solid "rods" above the bolt head and 5 that are just the regular bolts. And...

Ok so i'm almost finished with the bottom end of my 4.0l but i'm having a bit of a time removing the oil pump pickup tube off the old pump to reinstall it to my new pump. Anyone got any good advice?? I searched the forum a bit but didn't find anything i could use.

So according to my haynes manual as i'm reassembling the 4.0 for my 2001 XJ i see that i'm supposed to torque all the main caps to 80 ft/lbs then torque the thrust bearing cap to 10-12 ft/lbs. Next i have to push the crank back and forth to seat it then retorque all the main caps.......BUT i'm...

Anyone know right off hand what size bolts i need to get to mount my 4.0 block to an engine stand?? Just picked up my 01 xj sport over the weekend and have to reassemble the motor.........PO bought a full rebuild kit and decided he didn't have time to fool with it. Oh and Hello forum, this is...
