with the old engine knocking in our '92 with a rod knock, I have decided to swap in a 4.0 HO with 130k out of a '93 my daughter wrecked last year.
will replace:
rear main seal
oil pan gasket
timing chain and gasket
thermostat
water pump gasket
valve cover gasket
motor mounts
Before putting the engine back in.
I am leaning towards pulling the motor with manifold and transmission as an assembly to make reinstallation easier. on the donor XJ I just raised the hood straight up to its highest position and the hood is completely out of the way.
Anything I am missing or should attend to? Any Pointers?
Thanks
