Default 4.6L stroker build

Hey everyone, I'm looking to start building a stroker for my 95 XJ, possibly my 99.. I guess which ever craps out first. Question is has anyone used this kit before?

https://www.cleggengine.com/stroker-...oker-kits.html

I'm looking at getting the Stage II bottom end kit and the Stage I can kit. I talked to their customer service and he recommended going with a can kit instead of stock. Any input?

Wanting to take my time building it and doing it right. All input is helpful.

Justin

Have a look over on jeepstrokers.com

I would contact Russ Pottenger for what you want and need. He has some better forged pistons than the Icon. He will set you up with all the parts you need. He knows what works and what doesn't.

Thanks for the input! Another couple of questions.. Will the head from a 96 be the same as the head on my 95?

Would anyone recommend a high capacity oil pump? I've seen it go both ways, but I've seen some people say it can starve the bottom end for oil?

The stock oil pump is fine. It seems that the high capacity or high pressure pumps put too much pressure on the cam drive gear and can cause some wear issues and problems. These HC and HP pumps are not needed.

Head I am not sure. The earlier heads have a fitting on the back of the head for ?oil pressure sensor IIRC. I don't know what your '95 has. I only have '98+ engines.

I know the 96 and older heads have a spot on the back of the head for a temp sensor, was just not sure that's the only difference and if it could be plugged to be used on a later model.
