As far as the alignment... by changing anything dealing with your suspension, you are changing multiple different areas of measure...

Moral of the story, google it. Then when you try and need help with something other than a vague statement of "my tires lean", then come to us.

Phew
BINGO

Why would you think you need to rebuild??? If oil pressure is good and no noises coming from block you are golden

You are just breaking it in at 200K

What he said, as long as there's no knocks, taps, pings just keep running her until she does. If you wanna rebuild an engine you can get a long block from CR for $185. Rebuild it in your spare time and when your engine gives up you'll have a fresh one to drop in.

First thing you should do is make a decision on what you are going to do.

I want to lift
Now I don't
Going to lift a second XJ
I want to convert to 5 speed
Now I think I will wait.
Rebuild engine
