just my 2 cents.

I would strip the block down and bring it to your local machine shop. They will spec out the journals and bearings so you know what size to buy. I wouldn't buy any without knowing what size to buy. I used to get my rebuild kit from summit racing, but that was always for High Performance Chevy's. Not sure how they handle 4.0L's

But definitely get things spec out first....

Thanks,
J

I always get them from the same machine shop that does the machine work for me,they can make sure everything is right and I have found there prices are better. If you do have an issue they will correct it right away.

im def going to strip the block down. im pretty sure they will have to turn the crank, resize the rods, and i will have it bored out just because theres no reason not too when you have it torn down that far. I was looking for some websites that have good rebuild kits at a reasonable price. i will wait for the specs to come back from the machine shop before ordering of course.
