Hey-
I just got a real good deal ($250) on a 1997 Cherokee 4.0, AW4, NP242, 150k with a cracked engine block. I have a complete 4.0 out of a 98 Cherokee in my garage with around 150k on it also. I have heard the spare motor idle for a brief second while the jeep was unloaded from a trailer but that's it. I want to swape this spare motor into the the 1997 Cherokee but I was wondering what maintenance everyone would do to the motor while it's already on the engine stand.
I was thinking intake/exhaust gaskets, valve cover gasket, head gasket, oil pan gasket, rear main seal, front main seal, water pump, obviously a tune up (plugs, wires, cap, rotor, yadda yadda).
What else would you recommend? Anything I'm forgetting??
Thanks for the help!
