I won a open class competition mud bog in my cherokee with bald 31's with no oil and sea water in the rad. Then I flipped it 4 times drunk trying to shoot heroine on the freeway driving home. Still runs fine today, just put a lil lucas in the motor.
My original A/C works perfect too..

Bought a 93 Cherokee for $300 for parts. It was out of oil so I threw in some used oil and started it up. Made a hellva racket, but it ran and moved around the yard by itself. Upon teardown we found this hole in the side of the block.

Engine: 4.0L Hi
One of my Cherokees has 430xxx on the original motor. No rebuilds, no nothing. Every original part. Was daily driven about 145 miles a day for a few years. Still runs like the day we drove it off the Jeep lot.

How tough is it?
Tough as a piece of jerky wrapped in kevlar inside a bullet proof glass box!
Heard a story (on CF I think) about an xj dieing due to water getting in the intake. He got pulled out, pulled all the plugs out, cranked it, it shot out water like a fountain out of the plugs holes, did it til it stopped coming out. Put plugs back in, fired it up. Drove home.
The only other engine I could see doing that is whatevers in the Plymouth Sundance. Lol
