This was last night. For some rear my power steering bracket isnt lining up with my intake. My intake seems to sit flush but I'm wondering if the exhaust manifold is causing the intake to sit high..

Is the intake on the alignment dowels? That's what happened to me and my intake was not on the alignment dowels

EBay exhaust manifold had clearance issues with my 99+ intake.. Easy fix but annoying. Grind it down and we should be running tonight since my girlfriend is out of town lol

Well she runs! It's got really bad valve train noise from the loose rocker arms.. Think I'll swap my rockers, Springs and rods from my old head. It runs and drives though

Well valve train noise has as far as I can tell completely gone away. Drive it a couple miles last night and then this morning. I guess it was from the engine sitting so long and having absolutely no oil in it.

Got my hydro assist bolted up and bled. This thing is fantastic.. I can do 80mph easily and it feels like my truck

So I blew up the rear driveshaft the other day so I bought another 98 Jeep Cherokee for $250 to take the front shaft from it then part it out. I was told the head gasket was blown or the head was cracked. Funny thing is it drives perfect with just a small misfire every now and again. Monday I'm going to check compression and all that jazz.
It's got 147k miles and it's a 5 speed. They overheated it but I've overheated my engine dozens of times and never blown anything so I'm wondering lol
