I would make sure that is the problem before you go buying a new engine. If it is, check classifieds, JeepForum classifieds, car-part.com, local parts house.

Just makes it a bit more difficult to read. Oddly enough, I found ^ easier to read than your first post (paradox, I know. Should be the other way about...)

Start off with a compression check (so you can see if you've got a leak in the cylinder - it won't tell you where, but it will tell you what and how bad) and you can do a leakdown test if you think you've got a problem. Compression results should be taken on all cylinders, averaged, and I think you should get all results within a "scatter" of about 5-7.5% on either side of that average.

Why for do you think it's the #4 cylinder, specifically? Even so, that's only one cylinder.

That's why I never relax until the guage is atleast a needles width down from FULL.
Sort of like that bridge on hwy41 just north of Attica. If I can make it past there, I'm golden

It sounds stupid but check your spark plugs. You might have blown one out.

it had 156k when pulled
it might be easier to get your fixed if it is only rod bearings

You're strokin a 4 cyl? Dumb.. and strokers can be built relatively cheap

 

[POSJ]

First figure out the problem, it doesn't sound like you have done any troubleshooting yet. Like they said check everything before you spend the cash...

what are you talking about lol?

 

[Fast95Neon]

so my spark plug did pop out on on the 6th cyl....
the sparkplug somehow sandwiched the gap for some reason... i bent it back to normal
adn the 1st thread is stripped on the plug

any ideas?

or any links on the forums that could help?

 

[ChiXJeff]

Uh oh....... can you get a borescope to take a good look down inside #6's sparkplug hole, and down inside the cylinder? Threads don't just get fouled up on their own, they usually need assistance from crud.
