Lol...pulled the timing cover off. At the front of the oil pan I see mangled metal...more to come. Heads still on going to pull them in a bit

Ok guys I posted a while back about a 2006 Liberty that I bought where the guy told me it needed a starter. Turned out the motor was locked up. (Surprise.....he lied!). Anyways. Since then I have learned that NO ONE has any interest in buying a nice Jeep that needs work unless it’s free so...
