Sup guys. Going to the JY in the morning to get a replacement motor for my father in laws 99. Just making sure im not missing anything on my tune up list of goodies before i install it. Motor is out of a 99 with 101k on it. Heres the list: oil pan gasket, valve cover gasket, intake mani gasket, rear main seal, timing chain, dizzy cap, plug wires, plugs, thermostat, belt, upper and lower radiator hoses. Any additions or thoughts? Thanks

 

timing cover gasket and front crank seal? should come with an oil pan gasket and rear main seal in a gasket conversion kit actually available at autozone. Hell, while you've got it that far and putting it into a vehicle you might even consider turning some new bearings into it while you got it out.

 

Will add the front seal. Probably should go ahead and change the waterpump too huh? Thanks for the reply

that covers the bottom end seals for you. Water pump couldn't hurt either if you can afford to do all this.

 

Yea i added the conversion kit to my list. Its for my father in law so hes footing the bill! He just bought a 99 4wd cherokee sport in great shape with a slung rod for $750. Im just fixing it for him.

 

Would have been better to just buy a short block. with all that should be replaced on a j/y motor,but good luck with it hope it is something decent but it is from a j/y best of luck.

 

Ok dumb question what is a conversion kit???? to do with a gaskit kit????

 

The link is in my last post.

 

yea i looked at it but to me it just looks like the bottom end kit to me ...... wheres the (conversion kit)

 

If it were me a new harmonic balancer would go on.

 

Little update. Got the motor dropped in and she runs like a champ. Father in law is wanting to order a 3" lift and 31's now. I will post some pics up when i get it done.

 

Not sure why they call it a conversion kit, lol. Maybe because it converts to reusable seals from the old cork ones?
