I have a 98xj, 4.0, AW4, with 180K on it. Just went out to lunch at work and noticed a noise coming from the engine bay. It sounds like a rod knocking. It does get faster with revs but it doesn't get louder. After opening the hood, it is coming from the front of the engine definitely. As a matter of fact, it sounds like it is coming from the water pump area. Any chance that it is the bearings in the water pump pulley, because it does have some wobble to it? Any chance it's not a rod? I have had this rig for over 3 yrs. now and I change the oil regularly and I was really hoping to get 250k + out of it. Any suggestions?
