    Harland Sharp Roller Rockers

    Been running Harland Sharp Roller Rockers for a few years now but not for 50k miles. Happy with the performance but was not aware of potential failures. Do you know what's failing on the roller rockers?

    Help with re-gearing

    Not true. The 70mph passing of a vehicle was a measurable used earlier in a post. This measurable would not be a factor for me selecting gears.

    Help with re-gearing

    Should we really select gears for Jeeps with manual transmissions based on the ability to overtake another vehicle at 70 mph without the need to downshift when in OD? The downshift from OD when accelerating feature has always been included in automatic transmissions. There are a number of...

    Leaking thermostat housing

    Check to see if the flange on the new housing has the same thickness as the flange on the housing you removed. The bottom bolt could bottom out in the head before seating the flange if the new housing flange is thinner.

    Mechanic telling me Jeeps just leak

    Seem strange to me to have a RMS leak with no oil residue on your oil pan with oil leaking from the transmission housing. I would think oil would leak onto the oil pan also if RMS was leaking. Suggest double checking the valve cover gasket in the rear of the engine for a leak.

    Could oil weight have anything to do with my lifter noise?

    No way I'm an expert on this subject but trying to understand the Engine Oil Viscosity Chart above. My interpretation of the chart is 5W-30 oil allow engine protection during cold startup for 20 degree F lower than 10W-30. Chart show 5W-30 protection sufficient down to -20 degree F and...

    Trouble Starting

    Could be totally misguided by the video but it sounds like the engine crank over then the starter bendix disengages from the flywheel. Are you sure the engine is continuing to turn over throughout the cranking process?

    No oil to the cylinder head

    Really don’t think you will see anything by dropping the oil pan to solve you oiling issue based on you stating you have good oil pressure. I would suspect a problem with the lifters or plugged pushrods.

    So I need a new engine

    Did you request specifically what you wanted done to your Jeep or did you ask the the shop to perform diagnostics and repair? If the shop performed tasks you specified I can understand a large shop bill even if they didn’t rectify the problem but if not I would think a very small fee for...

    2000 4.0 TJ misfire issues

    Just a suggestion. I had similar issues that turned out to be a cracked head. Hope your head is not cracked. First my misfire started with CEL PO306. Changed #6 fuel injector and coil pack. Jeep would start up and run good and misfire would start after engine would warm up. Started...

    2000 Wrangler TJ leaking from transfer case?

    You would want to make sure you have a good fluid level in your transfer case and transmission if plan to drive it. You would also probably want to make only short trips and check the level regularly which would be a pain.

    Gearing down on a budget

    Suggest going with 4.56 gears. Don’t think you will be happy with 4.10 gears with your 5 speed manual transmission.
