where to start
1 new to the forum but not jeeps
2 I am slightly inclined but not a pro
3 I owned a 99h.o 240kmiles clean as a champ and would fry 2nd
4 sold #3 and now I have a 97 2door sport 4x4 will still fry 2nd :guitar:
im having a few issues with my 97 I bought from a friend
has a 4.0 with 245k miles mostly stock
I just replaced the coil, wires, plugs, cap, rotor, runs way better now than before but still hesitates on idle (im guessing the cracked header is a contributor but still) also gets the dumy light at idle when warm
however it has sludge :l :bawl: and the sludge is starting to clog the oil pickup, so its parked for the moment as I don't want to spin a rod
now my father did the work for my friend and said its pretty bad sludge in there
now my questions here are has anyone gone about removing it on a 4x4?
I know I need to remove the downpipe and starter but can I clear the pumpkin ?(I have a car hoist available if that helps, suspension completely off ground)
I would like to replace the oil pickup and clean the pan of sludge and remove the valve cover and clean away at that too best ideas and routs of completing my mission?
before winter I live on a 10grade hill-_-
