Leave the driveshaft completely out & see if that loose cap will fit back in the transfer case yoke . If it will , the cap , joint & all should fit in the yoke . If it won't , something is too big .
When I did my shaft , the only way I could get it out was to pry the transfer case joint forward...
I'd offer $1,500 if everything checked out . Worst thing that could happen is he'd say no . Should be a really good engine with that low of mileage . Is the vehicle wrecked or what ?
Never mind , I clicked on the link , doubt being a salvage yard would come down .
I couldn't get the new band that came with mine tight either . I reused the original band & it went back on good & tight . I would think a zip tie would be fine though .
The green eye Delco I referred to came in a new GM car I bought . Wonder if they're available over the counter somewhere ? If they are , wonder if they're still made by the same company ?
Isn't it strange how people have different experiences with brand names . By far the worst experiences I've had with batteries was with Interstate . Most other batteries I've bought give me reasonable service . Best battery I've ever had was one of those Delco's with the green eye . That battery...
Salvage yards usually give some kind of warranty , not on your labor , but on their parts . Make sure you get one from the correct year model to save yourself a lot of work & money . Also the lower the mileage on the engine usually the better .
Not long ago I bought a sharp 05 for cheap that...
Does this friend have a salvage yard or something ? Seems strange he has the engine you need & willing to put it in for that price . If this is a legitimate deal I'd jump on it but no money would change hands until I had a properly running jeep . The price is dirt cheap .
I see you edited your...
The OP has an 02 & the craigslist ad is for an 04 . That means a teardown of the engine to swap reluctor rings . The crankshaft has to come completely out to accomplish this . Also the timing chain & the gear on the camshaft has to come off .
I have read a few disagreements pertaining to 04...
Replacing your engine will not cause you to have a salvage title . You won't be able to tell if your heads are good by just removing the valve covers . At 160,000 miles they would need rebuilt before installing on another engine regardless .
In my opinion you need another complete engine whether...
Yes , the cam covers & valve covers are the same thing . Once they are removed you'll be able to see the camshafts , rocker arms , valve springs & each camshaft will have a gear on the front end of it that the timing chains runs around .
As far as working space to remove the crankshaft pulley ...
Autozone & Advance Auto Parts in my area rent tools such as the puller you need to remove the pulley off the front of the crankshaft . The deal works like this , you pay for the tool & when you return it they give you all your money back . It doesn't cost you anything .
