The "best" feature of a Jeep I6 stroker is the bang for the buck you get when you are doing a rebuild anyways. Even more so back in the day when factory 258 cranks were practically given away. Buying a pre built long block makes sense compared to a V8 swap only for specific reasons or because...

Definitely sounds like a 2J.

Sì. I'm on vacay and not paying attention. Most people would not spend that kinda money on a 4.x so producing it likely wouldn't make sense. That being said, if you make one for $1500, I'll buy it tomorrow. Russ said this was the biggest off the shelf grind they had except he recommended the...

And provisions for a roller cam *cough* @Jezza *cough* 😆

Yep. Bought it right after I got to my first permanent duty station and have had it ever since. And I do have stiff LS springs and a nitrided cam all spec'd by Russ. I will report back on the longevity of that particular setup in the next couple of months as I currently have a small but...

Just by virtue of the fact there are so many stock 4.0s running around, it would seem they live longer. My stock 4.0 ate a cam lobe though (which started me down my engine modding journey) back in 2003 so it isn't fool proof.

That's the leading theory, but boutique high ZDDP oils haven't solved it. Some people blame bad cam cores, some crappy lifter quality, some narrow cam lobes. I am having an Oldsmobile big block built for Grandpa's car. The builder has seen several cam failures as well and isn't sure why when...

Be aware many many folks in the States run in to flat tappet cam failures now days, myself included. This is not a function of it being a stroker motor (or jeep motor specific even), but many strokers come with high lift cams and stiff valve springs. Nobody has definitively figured out the root...

Being in UAE I think a stroker is a good bolt in option for you. Those gears with those tires will feel great.

Or the ability to comprehend how the 70 yr old topless lady at the banana show can make correct change from a stack of coins sitting on top of a beer bottle with her vagina while holding an 8 foot snake on her shoulders. Oh the wonders of the world the military showed me.

I honestly have no idea what it was. I just meant since we were including non-JKs and I just happened to see it that day.

Yes. If you're issue is the hood prop is too hot for you to touch immediately after driving, the solution is some kind of hood prop cover (or a pair of gloves), not cooling down the engine bay.

You should not worry. Everything you described is normal. Cook a burrito and enjoy the Jeep.

That's a stock cam, right? Might have to order me a one of those gaskets. Did ARH ever do anything to remedy the issues you had?

I can have boots looking like patent leather on the toes and heals. Mirror fucking finish.

I'm sure it would be fine, but I remember Blaine commenting the clamping force is what holds things in place, not the bolt shoulder against the hole (same principal for washer vs mount) but I understand and would want the washer to stay still also. I was just thinking that inner surface needs...

No need to weld them. Could screw things up actually.

Easily, yes.
