Default 2000 XJ- Replacing Engine (What else to replace?)

2000 Cherokee 4.0L 4wd Auto
164,000 miles

Several weeks of unexplained coolant loss, milky oil cap, high oil level...

Very likely a cracked Cylinder Head ("0331")

In a bit of a bind... no time to do this myself and not looking to buy another vehicle (too much into this Jeep already).

So, looks like I'll be getting a replacement Engine/Head installed.

What else should I have replaced?

- Motor Mounts
- Belts
- Hoses
- Water Pump
- Radiator Flush (only 1 month old but probably has oil/gunk in it now)
- O2 Sensors
- Crank Pos. Sensor
- Cam Pos. Sensor

Any other recommendations when doing an Engine Swap?


THANKS!!

Subscribed. Also, what kind of deal did you find on a replacement motor?
