I picked up a CLEAN "89 Laredo with 218K on it.The motor runs great,has no smoke and good oil preasure.When you first start it in the morning,you can hear a loose rod knock for a few seconds.The guy i got it from owned it for 2 years and it has always done it.I'm hoping to drive it until spring and maybe put bearings in it???Should i be worried about it???I'm very easy on it and won't be beating the crap out of it.Also,can you pull the pan and put bearings in these motors or would it be to tight?Any recomendations would be great.This XJ has NO ROT at all,so i really want to keep it.Finding anything this clean around here is a real challenge!
