Ya, and i deal with jeeps ALL the time, but i guess i dont know what **** im talking about. And obviously you've never used sea foam for anything. If you dont suck out that **** from the rockers and flush it thru your engine it will be toast. Trust me. Just curious VW expert, how many 4.0's like this have you fixed? Probably none.....

 

ill say this it was running hot enough for my to replace the head gasket, rad, and buy a 3 fan kit
im honestly quite pissed at the jeep, and boost happy, you've done this?

 

How did u replace the head gasket without noticing that?

 

Wow that is a big difference!

Did it run hotter than normal or overheat at all? I would check your coolant and give that all a good flush too. Chances are the PO neglected that too.

Care to take an after pic so we can see how well it cleaned up?

 

Sorry, didn't see page 2 on my app where you answered the "running hot" question I asked so just ignore it.

 

trust me im gonna pull the pan, hes just giving hes way of doing it.

 

I bet u coulda fried an egg on that valve cover! Lol

 

i have a few on my build in my sig i think ill post one latter

 

If it were mine I would replace the oil pump with a new meling pump from Napa. About 56 bucks, on mine that I have done I replaced the pumps. If I have the pan off and it has over 150k or so, I replace the pump with a hi-quality replacement.

 

i cleaned the upper motor with a tooth brush, head, block the whole deal and now im facing more work on a jeep i would love to take on a d** trail 7 days a week but every time i almost get there its something
if i did not have close to 5k in it i would pop a hole in the tank and light a match yea know...

 

right now heres my list

Felpro Oil Pan Gasket Set $20
Melling Oil Pump $70
Melling Oil Pump Screen $13
Felpro Rear Main Seal Set $14 (im in there might as well yea know)
add tax = selling my liver.... ha ha could be worse but not a worse time...

 

ill try and find a buyer for the liver and get back to ya! Lol. Ur gonna need a felpro vc gasket too, 35 bucks. I always set my oil pump pickup about 3/4" from the pan bottom and spot weld it so it doesn't move, some guys just hammer em in. But ive seen em fall out, big pain in the ***!

 

Other option is spending about 350-500 for a low mile junk yard engine.....

 

A few actually. After first using it on the Horrid sludged up VW 2.8 V6, its been done on a few sludge vehicles. You have ZERO experience with the BG product so of coarse you wouldn't have a clue Mr. Shadetree. The BG does NOT Break up the sludge, It truly dissolves the ****. It is high priority to take precaution NOT to disturb the sludge build up and create debris.

BTW I have a whole bottle of seafoam in my cabinet at work.. Why would I want to use that **** when there's a product to out perform it in anything someone would want to use it for. Seafoam is for the D.I.Y.er Shadetree guys

jeepsurfer1, you have my word. This WILL be you be your best option.

 

If you do the Shop Vac route don't forget to remove the filter before you start you'll be replacing that too lol.
