Did you ever end up finding a solution to your heat soak??

Any luck with figuring out the squealing?

Any updates?

Sorry to hear about the misfire. Couple questions for you. Are you experiencing any lifter tick or timing chain noise from too much slack when the engine is running? Has your Jeep ever overheated? Something easy to check is your wiring harness where it crosses behind the intake manifold. There...

Well, the Jeep passed smog yesterday and has 100mi since the cam swap. I ended up replacing the cam and lifters by going through the oil pan. I had a slight rear main seal leak I needed to repair and after taking the head off once, I decided I didn’t want to do it again. Since owning the Jeep...
