the current 6cylinder in my 89' XJ has 222,xxxmile on it and has seen better days. just wondering if anyone knows where i could pick up a fairly new one for cheep. dont have lots of money and just got the truck but would like to keep it for a while and do some other stuff with it that just seem to be the first priority.
i live in socal so possibly somewhere close.

have you looked into boring?

charokid91

so.. craigslist dont have anything and the other site has one that have more miles than mine.
and boring sounds stupid. just seems like i should just start over new.

Boring means you will have A bigger engine.. and NEW pistons... add set of bearings have the head redone.. and for around 600- 800 its rebuilt.... This all depending on you rebuilding it and decent cost on machine work... but you can do it yourself cheaper then buying it rebuilt..

1,200-1,500 for rebuilt from what i have seen....

charokid91

thats true. and come to think of it i guess im trying to figure out which is better. new or rebuild
and mind you there almost 2's all the way across
