Hello,
I have a chance to buy a relatively cheap 2000 Cherokee. The engine blew a head gasket and it was run for a while with coolant in the oil. The head gasket was fixed, but now oil pressure is low (about 10PSI idle warm) and a faint bearing noise can be heard.
I was thinking of pulling the pan from underneath and replacing the bearings, hoping the crank journals aren't scored. The cam bearings are out of reach for this. Is this worth doing, or am I better off getting another 4.0?
Thanks.
Mikel
