I’ve found that all of the parts are available from Sasquatch parts or IDparts. If I have to rebuild my engine, I want it to last for a long time so I want to build it as best as I can

Are there any concerns about only replacing one piston, liner, and rod, instead of replacing all of them? Will that affects compressions or engine balance? Also where do I find a new crankshaft pulley with an intact harmonic balancer?

i just found upon further inspection that the liner in cylinder #2 is cracked from the impact

I think the head is probably not worth it. I would need to replace all of the valves and hardware as well as get it machined and the new valves set. It looks like the aluminum is pressed into the other exhaust valve and there’s slight warping where the valve pressed into the head. I haven’t...

Well I have my update. I decided to start teardown last night and I kept at it till 2 AM. I made it all the way until I started to round over a head bolt so I stopped for the night. I stopped by harbor freight tools today after classes, and I got a set of sockets for removing rounded over bolts...

I pushed it up to my garage today. No leaking of any kind, but the oil is significantly over full and it smells funny. I’m guessing the oil is full of coolant. Anybody have an oil laboratory that you’d recommend for examining an oil sample? I’ve heard of different places that do it but I’ve...

I kinda knew this day (or night) was coming, I just really hoped that it wasn’t going to. I’ll be tearing into it on Monday after college classes. Hopefully it makes for a project that is as exciting as I always imagined it would be ‍♂️

Something popped and I started blowing thick white smoke from the exhaust. I pulled over right away and shut it off, so it was running for less than a minute. As I stopped, I got a low coolant light. Under the hood there are no obvious leaks or issues but the coolant reservoir is empty. The oil...

Well… Not guesswork anymore. Something blew in my engine on my way home at 11 PM. Not sure what but I think it’s finally time to find my rattle. And probably rebuild my engine…

So if a rocker wore it could rattle and make noise without necessarily failing? I can't hear it in the valve cover though, it seems deeper in the engine.

I've recently seen 3 CRD Libertys in the Oklahoma City area; mine makes four of them. Two of the other three are completely stock, but the third one is a really nicely built red limited. I rarely see upgraded Liberties around here.

New theory: sticky valves or failing valve springs. I had a buddy listen to it and he was surprised that the engine was still running for the amount of noise it was making. He suggested that a valve sticking open could explain the symptoms and and the clattering noise; I think that a failing...

Unfortunately it’s my daily driver and I don’t have any alternatives. I’m catching rides as much as I can but it’s still being driven some. Any idea if I give it a dose of marvel mystery oil if that might help. Maybe at least quiet it down a bit? I’ve used it before on different engines with...

Noise started before I worked on it and I replaced all of the pulleys and the water pump. I have used a stethoscope extensively and I can’t hear the noise coming from the valve train. I took the oil filler cap off and I can’t hear any difference. It’s coming from much lower down in the engine...

I started a new thread more accurately labeled about my engine rattle. Thread 'CRD engine rattling' https://www.jeepkj.com/threads/crd-engine-rattling.80376/

I’ve mentioned this before in previous posts, but my 05 CRD has developed a bad rattling noise. It’s gotten drastically worse over the weekend and after inspecting it today it sounds like it’s either the oil pump or the fuel pump. Since I’m still getting oil pressure and my engine hasn’t blown...

Where are the manual diesels? As far I know in the USA the CRD wasn't optioned with a manual; the manual in the liberty isn't strong enough for CRD torque

The 4cyl needs the extra power so they get 4.10s. My diesel has 3.73 , and if I remember the v6 gets 3.55 or 3.73
