The $150 Comanche
i just wanted to share some of my findings after I got my Comanche home and first start
Loaded on the car dolly
Pulled nicely behind my 98 xj
As soo as I got it started I noticed right away something was wrong (not surprised at all) after letting it idle for a while and the sound still persisting I decided to take the valve cover and see what was going on.... well.... it didn't take long to figure out why it was making so much noise lol

Dang that's crazy! You might want to heck the lifters though too could have been a failed lifter that cause that rod to jar around and bend

You are correct!!! turns out the lifter and the cam wiped, the lifter wore all the way through the bottom and had a little hole in it causing the lifter to loose pressure. PLANNING ON BUYING A COMP CAM THIS WEEK!!
Pulled the head to change the lifter found out the cam and lifter wiped
The bad lifter

Neat pickup!
im over on the other side of Columbus (South of Zanesville) and i know where there is one MJ in a junkyard if you need MJ-specific parts.
What year is it?
