Well here is what I did. I bought a rolled 99 XJ to use for parts for my 91 with no motor. I was a little worried about it being a rolled vehicle when I bought it. Wasn't able to drive it much but the thing started up and idled like a champ. I was able to drive it around the yard and into the garage. Now I've swapped the entire wiring harness, engine, AW4, NP231 and interior into my 91. I gave my radiator to a buddy in a tight spot, so I pulled a junkyard radiator when the time came I needed one. Now I started it up and it still idles like a champ, but as soon as I get it going around 30 I start getting some valve train noise. Then if I drive it a couple miles it runs around 210-220. Then, without notice it jumps to 250-260. I'm also running around 45psi oil pressure. I don't have much experience with rolled vehicle's engines. I guess I'm just looking for advice on what you would check first.
BTW I just noticed that the Coolant Temp Sensor is cracked in half. I'll be getting a new one as soon as I can. It is still connected and giving a readout.
Any help would be appreciated. :helpme:
