Hey all, my little 4.0 has finally said enough is enough last Thursday night. It started making a bad knocking noise and was diagnosed Friday afternoon with a problem in the bottom end either a cracked piston, broken skirt, or bad pin. So now I am trying to explore stroker engine options. I was quoted by the same shop to put in a reman for $2900 out the door. I see some mild stroker engines going for around $2800 and the shops install price for the engine was about $1000 so roughly $3800 for a stroker seems worth it. But this shop didn't recommend a stroker motor and that's not what they normally do. I would like to find a shop that is familiar with stroker engines either rebuilding mine, building new from scratch, or putting in a good crate engine. I don't have the means or the time to do this myself or I would. My Jeep is my daily so I need it back up and running as soon as possible. I don't have just an unlimited budget either so I want to try to keep to an affordable budget but worth the money. If anyone knows of a good place in North Georgia let me know! I live in Marietta so the closer the better but it is still driveable at the moment so I could probably drive it somewhere and worst case scenario I have a work truck and trailer we use to pull around our bobcat I can put it on to move it. Thanks in advance yall!
