This is why I recommend the OEM gasket. I tried Felpro gasket and the ports didn't match up. The OEM gasket matched the ports perfectly.

Has anyone ever put a Led bar inside the grill of an XJ or modified the grill to hold an LED bar?
I don't have the extra money for a bumper to mount it on and think they would look sweet cut out inside the grill. A small one of course....

Mount it to your current bumper.. With how close everything is to the inside of the grill it'd be sticking out anyway.. And then you have a cut up grill..

All that I've seen (mine included) have a stud on each end to allow for different mounting options and 360° rotation. I recommend using a cradle mount, as my 'foot' style mounts broke in less than 24 hours

Can also just get tabs welded to the factory bumper. But if you're looking for a 20-30" bar should be able to just bolt it on depending on the brackets

Sometimes changing brands of oil helps. Each one has a different formulation.
You sure its lifter noise and not something else like a pulley or flex plate bolts? Knocking is not typically a word associated with those parts.

Full width axle question. I'll try asking here with more views

Am I missing something here? I thought Ford D60 fronts usually sell for more than this by themselves. Considering for my YJ
The only downside I see (based on the Full Width axle crash course I've been on) is that the Sterling could be a semi-float if it came from an F250 that year. I'm waiting to hear what the bolt pattern is cause that's the only way I know to differentiate between full float vs semi float Sterling 10.25

Sometimes lifters can be sticky. Some folks like Marvel Mystery Oil. Apparently it works for some people, but indeed it is a Mystery. Walmart in Ontario has it so Manitoba might too.

Have you considered trying a good oil? Also it's winter man, what are you doing running 10w30 in Manitoba in January?
