    Would a NV3550 from a Liberty fit on a 99 TJ 4.0?

    So I have thought long and hard about the swap but I was wondering if I could just use the nv3550 from the liberty sport or if it would have to be from a wrangler. I really want to know because the price difference is insane.

    Low oil pressure caused by sludge in oil?

    Brief backstory: I had a blown head gasket and cracked head on my 02' 4.0L. The engine was VERY sludgy when I opened the valve cover, not black sludge — more like chocolate milkshake sludge. I got most of it out that I could but I know there are remnants in the engine. When it came time to add...
