Is therr ANY 4.0L blocks in ANY model Jeep that have the oil filter on the driver side of block? I've got a guy saying he went to buy a 01 Grand Cherokee 4.0 engine and the one the person had for sale had a oil filter on driver side.
He's arguing saying it was indeed a jeep 4.0. I say he's wrong.

Setting Your 4.0 at #1 TDC
With #1 spark plug removed, turn the engine over clockwise using the 3/4" front crankshaft bolt. You will see the degree marks on your front cover. Mark the 0 with chalk or white-out.You will see the timing mark on the balancer. Mark it with chalk or white-out. While turning the engine over, put your finger/thumb over #1 spark plug hole. As the mark on the balancer approaches the marks on the front cover, if you are coming up on #1 TDC, pressure in the cylinder will push on your finger. If there's no pressure, you're at #6 TDC and need to crank the engine over until you see the marks coming together and you get pressure. Set the mark on the balancer to the 0 mark on the front cover.
