I have a 2001 XJ with select trac. Needs a new engine (spun a crank bearing or bad piston slap, nobody can figure it out). Will a 4.0L from a 99 GC Laredo swap into my Pig? Im not sure if the mounts will mate. Anyone tried this with a Grand swap? I found one with 34K miles on it...will it fit?
Thanks much.
just for fun.... knocking low in the engine (like its coming from the oil pan)on start up, goes away after engine warms up. A can of Restore makes it go away for a few weeks. Then needs more Restore. Oil pressure is fine. exhaust manifold is fine (surprisingly), Head not cracked. Had the Flex plate inspected by two shops and myself. Its tight and fine. One shop says piston skirt cracked, other (dealer) says crank bearing spun. wth? has 137K on it, good power still, just this gremlin.... I have spent the better part of 3 months reading every damn thread on here of this topic lol.
