And be warned, you could either have bolts or tamper-proof torx head bolts. If its the tamper-proof torx, you can get a set for like 10 dollars at advanced.

Oh, I misread that. Just the engine... I thought it said the whole Jeep.

I wouldn't pay more than 100-200 for a high mileage engine.

Right on man. Glad you got it out.
Wait until you have to remove a broken exhaust stud on a Suzuki intruder 700.

1992 JEEP SPORT CHEROKEE - $700

FOUR OF THE FIVE RIMS WON'T HOLD AIR. SLOW LEAKS. WILL NEED TO REFINISH SURFACE. 4-WHEEL DRIVE HAS VACUUME LEAK, DOESNT SEEM TO WORK FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME.

Is this stuff easily fixable? Is this a good deal for a project build?
