Friend is having issues with his '97. He can find used, low mileage '99-01 engines, so the question is as follows.......
Do you know if an engine from the last generation cherokee ('99-01) will
fit a '97-98 generation cherokee? My cherokee probably needs a new
engine. I found several '00 and '01 engines in the local salvage yards
with relatively low miles, but '97-98 engines with low mileage are very
hard to find. This is a much cheaper way to go vs. buying a rebuilt
motor.
He was driving and got a vibration at low rpm. Checked electrics, injectors etc and found he had good compression is 5 cylinders, low in one. Did oil in cylinder test and got the temporary improvement in compression. Engine is fairly high miles so he is looking into a total replacement versus doing a ring job. Hence the engine swap question above.
Any help will be appreciated.
