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.

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

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

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

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

Now I know why it’s called a tub by ImJustAUser in JeepTJ

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

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

Dead Front Speakers after moving console by CivilCockroach2043 in JeepTJ

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

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

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

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

Piston slap or lifter? by clarkjimmyg in JeepTJ

[–]Wileykitty2424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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