    Bought a non-working '02 Liberty, where to start?

    Not for nothing but the car for the most part was in immaculate condition. It's not just the oil level, physically the car was in good shape. I'm not sure if it's a rattling sound, it just seems like there's like a loose nut inside or something, it's something small. Going counterclockwise is...

    Got it. Does it matter which direction I am rotating the engine? Because it seems the engine will only rotate counterclockwise

    Am I supposed to push the cylinders right where I pulled the spark plugs from? If so, my ratchet extension is too short and too wide it seems :( The specific tool I need to push each cylinder is a dowel rod or is there any other way to test each cylinder? Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk

    Bought a non-working '02 Liberty, where to start?

    OK guys, I finally made my first attempt to turn the engine, here are the results, interested in your opinions/verdicts: 1) The engine rotates counterclockwise (standing from the front of the vehicle) very well. When I try to rotate it clockwise it will go for perhaps 1/8th of a turn then get...

    Also the oil leak was only significant when the car was picked up. Almost a if it had been accumulating somewhere and when the car was tilted it all came out Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk

    @Logan Savage, My lack of knowledge in this situation has me a bit precautious, I didn't want anything to get ignited by me turning the motor over. I will tell you exactly what transpired with the tow truck driver, then I will give you my personal opinion. 1) as the tow truck driver picked up...

    I'm actually pulling out the spark plugs right now to turn the motor over, it's more time consuming than one would think lol. I already checked the pile level in the engine and it seems full. But anyway we will know shortly once I try to turn the motor over. Thanks for your response and will...

    Theres are some photos I took under the vehicle. I did the best I could given the limited real estate. I didn't notice any holes poking through, it seems the oil leak is coming from part of the frame under the vehicle. I also noticed in the photo that the thread of the "beam" (let's just call it...

    Bought a non-working '02 Liberty, where to start?

    The car doesn't start, makes a click thats it. When I had it towed to my place, I noticed oil was leaking from the bottom. My tow truck guy thinks the motor's completey blown, I'm hoping it's just the starter and the oil gasket. Battery is fine, I am going to check for error codes in the...
