I picked up a new to me XJ but I want to pull out the old motor and not have to worry about it next how long.
180K miles on it but the previous owner said "he" rebuilt it. I take that as grain of salt and not gonna put my family through some uncertainty when overlanding hundreds of miles from home. He even suggested he won't drive far.
So I have been researching and it seems like I am to choose amongst junk yard low mileage, ATK, or Golen.
Tried calling Golen 3 times past Friday, but couldn't get a hold of a person. 2 emails over 3 weeks have not received any response.
I was dead set on Golen until I tried to reach him over the phone and I suppose presale inquiries may not reflect post sales experience but it sure is not helping.
What have yall done to replace the tired straight 6?
