Hey guys,
Like just about any Jeeper out there, I've got a rear main seal leak. I've found all of the write ups on how to do it and will be buying the parts shortly. My XJ has just shy of 93k on the clock, and I figured this would be the perfect time to go through it and replace just about everything I can, that's why I'm consulting you fellas in case I forgot some easy fixes while it's under the knife. So far I've got the obvious:
-rear main seal
-valve cover gasket
-oil pan gasket
-oil filter o-rings
-intake/exhaust gasket (got a 00 TJ intake manifold to swap on, may wait until I buy a header...)
-change tranny fluid
-change t-case fluid
- fuel filter/pump (figured I could do this, becuase I found an easy write up, parts are cheap off ebay, and I want to do it before I put on my rear bumper and gas tank skid)
Is there anything like an oil pan filter/pump that could be cleaned? I had my old 88 XJ put on a "motorvac" that suppsoedly cleaned out the carbon and it seemed to run better when i had it (about 2 years ago), would this be a good idea to do to mine before I start changing all of this? I plan on switching to a higher quality synthetic oil/oil filter. I appreciate all input/suggestions/comments. Just trying to change as much as possible at once.
BTW- 1997 XJ country (93k miles)
