I own an 85 xj wagoneer with a carb. 2.5 inline four. I am going to be replacing my engine and need some opinions on the matter. I seen on e-bay that there is a remanufactured crate engine as a long block for $899.99 plus shipping of $100.00 flat rate anywhere shipped. It comes with the complete gasket set and oil pump. It also does not come with a warranty!!!!! This is what scares me away from it. It is coming from a good company that has been around for 36 years they said and is a reliable company they say. The company that I will be purchasing it from is Engines Direct. I just don't like the non warranty part of it. They said that if I install it and it does not hook up or run properly that they will take it back. My other choice is a used engine that has 98,000 on it with compression ratings of 140-145 on all four. Is that good compression? It comes with a 90 day warranty and an asking price of $350.00. I don't know which way to go and any advice on either of these options is greatly appreciated. Thanks ahead of time for the replies
