Hey guys, new XJ owner here. First time Jeep owner too. Bought this 2000 XJ Sport (141,000 miles 4.0L auto) from a guy back in late January with what he said was a slight ticking coming from the valve cover. Well, I talked him down a bit on the price thinking I'd be doing a valve job at minimum and a total rebuild at max. Well, turns out to be the later. So this will be my (re)build thread and general place to seek knowledge from all the experience here on the site.
The morning after bringing it home:
Brought into the barn to begin the rebuild:
Beginning the disassemble process:
Will post more as progress continues.
