    Source for rebuilt heads?

    Things are pricy in MD even out in the sticks where I live. That's the problem with rebuilding mine, they don't include parts and I saw the HLAs can be up to 16 apiece for Mopar. Rockers and cam are probably okay but I'd like to swap the HLAs no matter what. I haven't done anything like this in...

    Source for rebuilt heads?

    325 turned out to be pretty cheap for rebuilt ones. I thought it was pricy too at first until I checked around my area. 285 for a rebuild not including 125 to clean and resurface OR PARTS. I'm debating on just a resurface. The problem is I've got 160k on them and some tapping in cold weather so...

    Anyone ever get rebuilt heads from CHI? They seem to have good reviews but can never tell if they are real. :shrug: Cylinder Heads International - Quailty Rebuilt Cylinder Heads

    '02 Limited w/ bad exhaust drone

    I know a couple people with Magnaflow and they are top of the line and like Tom said, no drone. I inherited the Borla dual catback and it's pretty loud on the highway. Sounds great at launch but the drone at highway speed is annoying. It has a very large muffler too. Some day I may swap out the...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Those Monroe's are fantastic. Put them on last summer and the first time I pulled the handle the glass almost took my head off. Before them I couldn't even tell it opened. :gr_grin: Got exhaust manifold bolt/studs, thermostat and front crank seal from Mopar.

    Cylinder head questions

    Is it okay to use Permatex Ultra grey on the TC cover? I could get the Mopar but I have the Permatex.

    transfer case / drive shaft noise?

    Is the recessed boot on the Tcase end intact? Sometimes they tear and it's tough to tell. If it's all intact just move them around they should move smoothly but not too loose or tight. Check the range of motion.

    Cylinder head questions

    I made a couple of observations this morning that may be helpful to others out there. I was doing some cleaning and bagging/labeling some hardware this morning and noticed the left tensioner does have a plate stuck to the back. Haven't pried it off yet but it is there. Looks to be some thin...

    Making Ms Liberty mine thread

    Ain't that the truth! I'd always see the nicest bear during small game season and the nicest buck during bear season. Got real close and personal with a bear one small game season while I was playing "dog". My dad and uncle got a big kick out of that. I almost needed a new pair of shorts! :happy175:

    Good job. It's all about strategy. Where there's a will there's a way.

    Making Ms Liberty mine thread

    Mine was a big black bear on the NE ext of the PA turnpike near Bear Creek (Wilkes-Barre). Broad daylight and he or she was bookin' straight across in front of me. Never even paused or looked. Must have been late for dinner. I was doing about 85 in my 88 Beretta. No idea how I missed it. A...

    transfer case / drive shaft noise?

    You could always disconnect the shift linkage from the tcase while you are pulling the front shaft. Then no one cando any damage.

    Cylinder head questions

    Thanks for the help! I guess it's just more carbon on the pistons then I anticipated. Everything moves smooth and the walls look great. I'll try to remove as much as possible tomorrow. Spent a bunch of time today cleaning components that came off. I think I'll have to take my chances on the...

    Cylinder head questions

    Some of you might have seen mention of my project in some other threads and I thought it better to start a new one with the hope that some of you out there can offer advice or opinions as I progress through this process. Background: 02 with 160k on motor, 80k from my use. Been an excellent...

    Front tires suddenly rubbing. Looks like front end is dropped but nothing obvious

    Looks like the wheel is way forward in the wheel well. I'm not an expert but it just looks that way to me compared to mine. I'd get in the air and see if anything is loose.

    Making Ms Liberty mine thread

    Been there myself. 7 1/2 years of just over 1000 miles a week of non-reimbursed travel. Don't think I could do it now although currently it can take me way longer for my 40 mile commute. I'm really diggin' the Husky liners! They get my vote.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Thanks. I'm still trying to decide on a machine shop. I just pulled the exhaust manifolds and cam sensor this evening. Long day. I actually used the stubby on only the driver's side V-clamp. The passenger side was easy with about three feet of extensions. I had no straight shot at the driver...

    JEEP Name Calling

    Sort of a sad trend developing here. Guess I'm not the only one with some issues to deal with.
