Ok so I bought this XJ yesterday. Truck runs good. there is a violent sound coming from oil pan/flex plate area. Today I noticed it knocks particularly when fan cuts on. Also noticed there was no oil pressure. possibly internally grinding possibly. I placed my hand on oil pan. Knock is not very far away. Any help would be GREATLY appriciated.

Wow, so much hype over a torque wrench, listen to cruiser for Gods' sake, and as far as the oil pressure......I'm certain it is a sensor, because in the five days you all been talking about the ****ing broken flex plate the engine would have thrown a rod by now.

I can find this fricking bolt. I know its M10x1.50. Hardware/auto part stores bolts or to long. Either gonna have to pull it or get it from Fastenal.

Use a grinder and cut it shorter then chamfer it. Fastenal is junk in my opinion. Sold me magnetic stainless screws that rusted.. Lol

I tried. However Im attempting to grind it down with a fricking 4.5 diamond blade. Tried it twice neither will start. Bench grinde would give me better results but I dont own one unfortunately. As I was fricking with it start SNOWING.

Go to your local Chrysler dealer and order these new bolts. They take the place of the original bolts.
The have 18mm heads vs. the old 15mm heads.
Used them on my flexplate to torque converter.
