Hot/Cold Only I had the exact same issue. Installed new actuator in my 2002 liberty. Only had Hot/Cold. Tried many times to run thru the calibration procedure in the FSM. Left it like that for a year as I didnt want to take dash apart again.Went to salvage yard. Paid 8$ (took part off...

I am thinking that that water vapor cooled in the intake also and condensed there. Or on de-acceleration with the throttle body closed, it got sucked into intake. The owner claimed it didnt smoke much. With that seal gone and egg shaped guide port, the oil had to run down into the cylinder...

I have an electric impact. I only took off passenger side. Timing chain cover is off. I have lock tool on chains. Took off guide and secondary tensioner. Gonna call today and see if they will warranty wrench. Thanks for the help.

I plan on cleaning it out as best i can. May waste a whole can of carb spray on that job, but i want it clean on re-install. I figured since its tore down this far, im gonna pull left valve cover. Im sure the white sludge is caked on that inside cover also. Used a turkey baster (from wifes...

I was just thinking this morning how to put it back together. I was gonna take new cam off head and put sprocket on first. Then, reassemble. Or should I just break down and buy spanner. How much was it?

When I took off intake and throttle body I could hear sloshing inside. I drained it into a bucket. Water/oil mix. I set it upside down and a puddle of runny brown liquid formed around it. Quart was probable pushing it, more about 2 cups. Took head apart. Guide port is egg shaped. Valve...

When I took intake off and went to set it down oil/water ran out of it. It was alot, not sure of amount but it suprised me. I set it upside down for a while and it left another nice little puddle.. Did water vapor cool and condense from reclaim lines? Not sure.

I did notice that this jeep has a k&N filter. It had alot of oil/water vapor sludge on it. I wonder if it ran really rich due to that. Just a thought. My water/oil usage has to be from a cracked head from guide being gone. Not sure why oil would have been so low if they parked the jeep...

Have not taken valve out of head yet. I can wiggle #4 exhaust quit a bit. Owner said wife was driving when light came on. Misfire on #4. Started to have white exhaust and loud tick. Compression is 150 of all 6. lot of whits sludge in motor. Pcv valve and hose full and plugged with white...

Got the head off. #4 exhaust valve wiggles (middle cylinder). Guide is gone. 40,000 miles on new motor that was installed in 2010. Jeep was losing water and oil. Questions.. 1.) Do the pistons look normal? lot of build up..why? I thought middle one should be shiny from water going in...

I just bought the jeep. The engine is a new crate motor. Has 40,000 on it now. Warranty was up on motor in Feb. He didnt want to put any more money into jeep. Started to tick and blow white exhaust. I can wiggle #4 exhaust spring. I assume guide came out of valve. Compression is 150 on...

I have the chains locked with tool. Also put a zip tie thru it so I wouldnt jump timing. I will try an allen. That pin that broke seems to be made of cheap material. Yes It was a cheap wrench (Im Dutch). Let me know how to type title in bold so I dont look like a newbie that I am...

Also..Secondary tensioner is already out. chain guide is out. Seems to be enough slack to try it. On another note...how do I guide my title in Bold? Thnx

I used a camshaft wrench tool and tried to loosen bolt. Someone used a shit load of lock tight or torqued it way past 44pds. Snapped the holding pin on tool. Question..can I just take all cam bolts loose and tilt it off chain? The guide is busted on #4 exhaust valve and the head is cracked...

I had thought about just taking bolt out. I was worried the sprocket would come off. Both of my manuals didnt say to take out bolt. I was thinking I got the wrong tool for the year. I read the zip tie comment earlier, will try that in the future. Hopefully wont have to tear this thing down...
