    No crank condition

    Hi all. I am having some kind of issue that I need some serious help with. I just replaced the passenger side head. Made certain the V6 mark on the camshaft was at 12 o'clock. BUT now that I think about it, I forgot to check the crankshaft timing mark so that may be why I am not cranking. But...

    Freeze plug?

    Ok, this is getting ridiculous... bought my 02 Libby Sport. 2 weeks later, a head gasket goes. I replace both with Victor Reinz gaskets. The one on the passenger side doesn't seal (yes, I had the heads shaved and pressure tested). I get a friend to drive an hour and a half to help replace the...

    Leaking head... something

    Did a top end rebuild on my 2002 Liberty Sport a week ago, new gaskets from the heads up, had the heads machined and pressure tested. Everything is a-ok. But I started leaking water, but couldn't tell where it was coming from. Today a friend and I had a look and found a very minor leak on the...

    Bleeding my cooling system

    I just did a top end rebuild on '02 KJ Sport 3.7 4x4 for blown head gaskets. While trying to bleed my cooling system, I took off the radiator cap, turned on the heater and let it run. Suddenly it spit and sputtered and the coolant level dropped, I filled it back up, replaced the cap and cut it...

    Electric fan

    The thought popped into my mind while considering a mechanical fan for offroading...just out of curiosity, how much pain in the butt would it be to put a 2 way switch on the electric fan? That way when offroading I can turn the fan on to run all the time to help prevent overheating, then when I...

    coolant bleed screw

    What size is the coolant bleed screw on a 2002 Jeep Liberty Sport 3.7L? I realize I am about half out of my senses right now but I can't find it anywhere.

    Head bolts

    After I torque the head bolts to, I think its 20 ft lbs, do I REALLY put a pull handle on them and turn them 90 degrees and then do it again??? That seems awful tight.

    Oil filler neck question

    On the oil filler neck, what is the hose called that runs into the side of it? I was taking mine off when I started the process of replacing the head gaskets and broke the point where the hose runs into the oil filler neck. Seems to be some type of vent. what is the critter called so I can get...

    Tire size

    Ok, lets suppose that instead of putting a lift on my 2002 Liberty Sport, I just replace the strut assemblies up front. I know they are sagging and I can feel the thud/bump when I hit a pothole so I figure they are worn out anyway. I want to go from the ugly ass factory 16 inch rims to the sexy...

    Funny noise

    I have a new-to-me 2002 Liberty Sport. I am hearing this odd noise and want to see if someone may have some ideas as to what to check. It happens when I come to a complete stop, usually rather abruptly, but sometimes doesn't have to be abrupt. The sound reminds me of driving a truck with...
