    Timing chain's tensioner 2.5L

    Yea the 4.0 only has the guide on the cover. The 2.5l has that guide and a spring loaded tension that appears to attach to the block. I think that’s the confusion with the manufacture. The photo appears to show the part [tensioner] that is attached to the block. I might call the manufacture to...

    Timing chain's tensioner 2.5L

    Well I have to pull the cover to verify. I called the manufacture about the noise and he mentioned that they do not place the tensioner. But I think he may be talking about the rail on the timing cover. I just don’t know how they would sims test the engine before shipping without a tensioner...

    Timing chain's tensioner 2.5L

    Ok, so I’m almost done with a engine swap. The installer turned out to be less than the best. I noticed what appeared to be a chatter noise and my thoughts are a bad remaned engine. However, I took a photo of my old engine and noticed something by the chain. Soooo if this is on my old engine...

    Vacuum leak?

    I did a smoke test and noticed a ton of smoke coming from the throttle body. It’s right where the spring is. I also sprayed some carb cleaner and the engine bogged down. I thought I read somewhere that this are is not sealed but that makes no sense. Could someone let me know if this is suppose...

    2.5 4 cylinder: what goes here?

    This is a old thread but I’m wandering the same thing. I have three hoses coming off but that nipple had nothing. Is there nothing that goes there? 2.5L the above photo almost looks capped with a red cap.

    231 linkage issue

    Which one in the future would you upgrade to? To be honest, I don’t drive in 4x4 often so for the love of me I don’t know how this happened. Other than the knuckle head that tried to install my engine screwed its up. ( whole nother story there) for some reason I think when he was doing the...

    231 linkage issue

    That’s funny because I just ordered this. Now I just have to figure out the install. Most videos are upgrading the linkage not many for repair. I would think it’s self explanatory but nothing with this thing has been that.

    231 linkage issue

    My shifter was moving around at ease. It was not engaging 4hi or 4low. I went under and saw it came off the bracket. I’m unsure what I need or even how to put it back together. Any help would be appreciated. I’ve attached photos. Thanks

    Oil pressure sending unit vs oil pressure sensor 2.5

    2000 wrangler 2.5L oil pressure reading is all over the place. Question is does the wrangler have a sensor that tells the oil pump what to push or does the sensor only read the oil pressure that is being sent? Second question is how many sensor are involved?, is the oil pressure sending unit the...

    TJ bare metal floor question

    Yea sorry, instead of starting a new thread i figured everyone on this thread was familiar with bare metal floors.

    TJ bare metal floor question

    I’ll check what under looks like but I highly doubt it rusted out given the shape of the rest of the jeep and the paint that was there looks real original. As long as I’ve had it there has been no carpet but getting in and out has rubbed the paint off that one section and I’m starting to see...
