xj noises with video.. Im no mechanic, can you identify?
is this what engine knock sounds like? I mean like sloppy bearings knock?
Either way it still runs like a boss and I think will for a while. Just curious as to what i'm hearing.
Shout out to all those in the Seattle area enjoying the nice weather!

If you have an automatic transmission it could be as simple as loose flex plate to torque converter bolts. That's what it sounds like to me and the right area for that noise to come from

It is a auto, and I did the swap myself and was really anxious to drive my first jeep so I very well could of not torqued the flex plate correctly. It's 80 ft/lbs if I remember right?
