Out of curiosity how easy is it to blow an engine? I mean if you are doing mostly city driving is it really possible? Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk- tenpin3000

I'm planning on getting a set of jacks tomorrow, that way I'll be able to get a good look at the underbelly of the jeep, and then I'll show you the photos/video Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk- tenpin3000

What's really strange is that there's no oil leak when the car is stationary. Why would it leak only when the car is tilted? Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk- tenpin3000

So technically the oil level could be showing as full in the oil pan but there's no oil in the motor? Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk- tenpin3000

When you insert the dipstick does it check the oil level in the pan or in the motor? Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk- tenpin3000

The car is leaking motor oil yes. However the oil level in the engine is full and hasn't been lowering. Please note the only time the car leaks oil is when it it's jacked up or tilted, it's not leaking oil right now. Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk- tenpin3000

It's about 160,000 miles on the vehicle, and according to the original owner the timing belt has never been changed. Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk- tenpin3000

Is it possible to pull of the valve cover by hand? Or will I need some kind of hoist/winch?- tenpin3000

Bert, I don't think they want the turkey baster back lol. Thanks for the compliments, and yes I'm hoping it's just a timing chain and not a connecting rod, it would be cool to be driving a car I fixed myself Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk- tenpin3000

@Logan Savage I tried but I think I need to jack the car up, I can't really see around the pan. Please also note the oil level in the engine is just fine, it definitely has enough oil right now. If anything maybe the hole caused by the connecting rod is super small, but I think the oil is not...- tenpin3000

Need the back story on the Michael Jackson turkey baster story :icon_confused:. Looks like the digital scope is a worthwhile investment, gonna get it tomorrow, in the meanwhile going to take apart the front cover for kicks.- tenpin3000

OK going to pull the cam covers now, gonna try to find a guide on Youtube. And yes, at least it isn't seized at this point, hopefully I didn't further damage any pistons or valves with the rotations. And hopefully it isn't a broken connecting rod :gr_grin:- tenpin3000

Bought a non-working '02 Liberty, where to start?
@CactusJacked I was actually able to score a turkey probe from my neighbor, and at no point did any of the cylinders move. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, I even bent the probe so it could fit all the way down the hole and still no movement in 3 of the cylinders. If you had a video on how...- tenpin3000

OK well it looks like I am going to go get a wooden dowel from Walmart and come back to test the cylinders. In your open should I check the timing chain first or go get the dowel first?- tenpin3000

@JasonJ, That's exactly what's happening, the crankshaft only rotates a certain amount in either direction. At first I thought it could only rotate counterclockwise, but then at a certain point it got stock, then I was able to rotate clockwise after that, and again it got stuck at a certain...- tenpin3000

Bought a non-working '02 Liberty, where to start?
Is it normal for an engine to have a limited range of motion when turning in either direction? Or is that also indicative of an engine issue? Also, will a craftsman borescope work? I just want to make sure it's worth spending more money on this before I do, I'm still not sure if it's repairable...- tenpin3000

Bought a non-working '02 Liberty, where to start?
I think I may have to go to buy an extra long screwdriver or something, I tried with a long stick and with a coat hanger but i'm not getting movement in any of the cylinders UPDATE: It seems that actually the engine rotates in both directions, but there is a "range of motion" after which it...- tenpin3000
