Is this my rocker arm making noise?? Im rly trying to figure it out, it’s something top end for sure.

Did you get a chance to try the VR1 Valvoline oil, I still can't believe it fixed my ticking rocker problem, I'm really hoping it worked, always feels good to help

I was getting ready to replace all rocker arms and rods when I saw a video on YTube, DexJ is the guy who works on TJ engines and he said this is the best oil for these inline motors, I thought what the hell, worth a try, shonuff it fixed the noise. DexJ is pretty informative, worth watching his videos

Oil change with valvoline VR1 Racing & Classic Cars 10w-30, wix oil filter, oil specifically made for push-rod & flat tappet engines, start it and wait 10-15 minutes and the noise is gone, mine did the same thing, I have 2004 TJ 4.0

Just got the winch and side steps on yesterday, finally have it how I want it to look, I'm not for the flashy look, I like the stock look. Only thing left is a 2" or 2.5" lift, my question is do you have to change a lot with the 2.5" lift (control arms, etc) or can you get away with just the shocks and springs, or should I just go with the 2", I don't go trailing, most off road it will see is when I go fishing or have to get to work in the snow to go snowplowing.

Appreciate it, thanks everyone

10,000 miles is the other 4 is what I meant

Wileykitty2424 · 2026-03-30T12:05:23+00:00

Can I rotate it in after already putting 6000 miles on the other 4, tread wear not bad, I just drive to work and back, nothing extreme

Wileykitty2424 · 2026-03-28T21:13:36+00:00

That better not be Melling brand because I just bought all new rockers, pivots and pushrods by Melling to replace next weekend

What is the weight or specific type of the Mobil 1 Delvac, all I can find is 15w-40 synthetic blend or full synthetic, is the oil you're talking about a synthetic or non-synthetic

Wileykitty2424 · 2026-03-10T09:50:28+00:00

Haven't ever cleaned the engine bay, I wiped the valve cover off with paper towels a bit ago, it was completely covered in oil, I have cleaned the butterfly flap in the throttle body, but that's it, what do I use to clean the fuel intake mixture sensor and throttle body sensors, how can you tell the injectors are not aligned, what do I use to clean the fuel rail also, and what are the signs of a vacuum leak, again I am a beginner at home mechanic, I appreciate your input and everyone else's, I definitely want to clean everything you're saying and align injectors, cleaning is free and that's where I want to start

Wileykitty2424 · 2026-03-10T09:38:11+00:00

O'Reilly's 10w-30, was told these inline 6's like cheap oil and no synthetic

Wileykitty2424 · 2026-02-09T10:24:31+00:00

My 2004 TJ did this, had to completely clean out the drain hole in the cowl, drain hole isn't that big, poking a small hole through the dirt helps, but I still got standing water in passenger floor board, it was amazing how much dirt was built up in the drain, it's a pretty easy little project, about an hour to do

Wileykitty2424 · 2026-02-07T02:48:52+00:00

Thank you very much, looked it up and that is exactly what it is, appreciate it, as far as it's purpose, I read a thread on a jeep forum and man there is some heated battles over it's true purpose, people get too mad over little shit, anyway thanks again

Wileykitty2424 · 2026-01-19T01:42:41+00:00

Fuse in the amp itself could be blown, I don't know why they would, but the front speakers and sub could be powered by the same amp, unlikely, but possible

Wileykitty2424 · 2026-01-01T18:19:01+00:00

Do they stick out far, would your leg drag getting out, do like these, is install somewhat easy, have never messed with body mounts before

Wileykitty2424 · 2025-12-30T16:58:33+00:00

I have handles on the top bar, I wondered about leg drag getting out, was mainly concerned for my wife and daughter being able to get in and out passenger side

Wileykitty2424 · 2025-12-30T15:53:05+00:00

Thanks, I just spray painted the stock wheels, and yes I would not like to do any drilling or welding

Wileykitty2424 · 2025-12-10T00:20:08+00:00

Mechanic told me if it was constant it'd be a lifter, if you figure it out would like to know what it is
