new motor/golden opportunity
Hey guys, i have an interesting situation. My jeeps 4.0 has a rod knock 
however i have the opportunity to buy a 4.0 off a friend for a couple hundred bucks! My question is this: when i get the motor from my friend ill have some time before installing it, what tune ups/checks should i do that would be a ton easier with the motor out of the vehicle?

Pull the oil pan and take a good look at the piston skirts for any signs of cracking or stress.
What year motor and how many miles? Do you know anything of it's history or maintenance?
