Ok, My 96 xj recently started a lovely knock below 1500 Rpms with a very visable and felt engine vibration.
As soon as it went above 1500, shuts up, no vibes.
Thinking I may be lucky I pulled the valve cover and no noise while running so that leaves bottom end and a rod bearing ready to die and attempt to kill the crank.
So here is my quandry, I can look and find a decent 258 for cheap and for a few hundred stroke it, or simply redo the bearings and call it a day.
