- What I had planned to be a simple easy fix escaladed very quickly! Working on this Jeep for a family member, I took the job on thinking a simple random engine miss would be a sensor or something simple. Turned into a HUGE job to fix.
I love how “Replaced Engine” was a reported fix for a misfire 😂 that’s like saying I moved to a different state and that fixed my leaky faucet 😂
@@isaacbrewer5616 hey after leaving my childhood home the toilets quit running.
Amazing.
I never knew Banks made a turbo kit for ANY Jeep. Nice.
D3cent amount of wrangler parts actually. Header and intake for non turbo. Supercharger. Some others.
Me either wow!
Noice
I like your thoughts on the coolant in the oil pan hitting that lifter first, being the primary cause of failure.
Zinc may be important, but coolant ain’t oil.
Something about a yellow Jeep wrangler makes me want one 😅
Makes me think of big bird
Turbo 4.0 sounds amazing.
But then you see what it’s like to work on with all that extra crap.
And nobody needs more than the 190hp the 4.0 makes na
@@fastinradfordablei agree with that
Just rebuild my engine and oh my gosh , so much power for a little Jeep .
Just recently came across your videos. Really enjoyed watching them. Most of my repairs are done on the cheap. You are the "Hackmaster"
I’ve enjoyed watching your troubleshooting skills in real time. And that was smart how you removed everything including the whole dam grill and all ! Good thinkin. Thanks for sharing.
just wanted to thank you for all you do the head i got from Justin worked great. there is one thing i would like to do next time i am taking a road trip would like to see you remove a 4.0 head in 30 min
He can do it in 15 min
Awesome day when there's a new Dex Video! Twisted Teas and Cherokees
Rebuilt my 2.5L and had to hunt for the "old" Delo400 oil to get the zinc. It's a brave new world folks. It almost seems they're actively trying to wreck our old motors.
Thanks for sharing. I'm building a turbo 92 YJ 2.5L. Gonna try to blow the head off with 30lbs....
I run rotella diesel oil in my yj. Have for many many years.
I run the rotella 15/40 since the rebuild of my 2000 Tj 4.0 every oil change I add a container of zinc additive in it
Floor looks great
Thanks for the heads up on Zinc and synthetic with the flat tappets. I bet the turbo kit wasn't cheap!
Something seeming so simple turned out to be an expensive fix....
I just ordered a shirt and some stickers. I really like your “Hackjob” sticker 😂🤣😂🤣
Turbo Jeep Wrangler ain’t simple 😂
Good video. I have been running FS 10w30 in my 99 Cherokee since I bought it at 120,000 miles in 2007. Currently has 284000 miles. No engine problems, runs smooth.
Nice find. Compression test cold would have fooled me. I'm a mechanic 40 years. I have done tests cold and hot. But not had 0 hot. Good job.
when i was drag racing small block mopars we would build a motor run a minute load on trailer drag race that night never heard about breaking in a cam before covid
racing a whole different game than a daily driver you dont build race motors for longevity
I warm it up for 5 min then run WOT to redline.
If it don’t blow up then it probably won’t
They don’t break in new engines.
Hey Dex tell your brother to swap to a apron the crosses in the back and not around his neck, it’s a game changer. I bet the neck and shoulder pain will be gone . Love the videos.
thats coolant on the oil cap when my headgasket went it did the same thing it was pushing coolant into the oil in very small amounts
Better than new after Dex rips into the 4.0. Would of been interesting to stroke the 4.0 since you had most of the motor apart! Especially with a turbo!
I am at this exact same place but cylinder #1 instead of #4. I put full synthetic in it the last oil change 3,500 miles on that oil change. I don’t have any oil pressure but haven’t since I’ve owned it for 18,000 miles! Fyi it has a Jasper Engine in it. I’ve changed cam sensor, crank sensor, plugs, coil pack, swapped injectors. I need to pull the valve cover is my next move. Thanks for videos! I personally like them all!
You changed the cam but didn’t remove the valve cover?
Not a fan of jasper engines.
But some
Of them work for a while
@@fastinradfordable it was cam sensor. I thought I was linking it in with the crank sensor but I see how that didn’t work so well! 👍🏼
Nice jeep
another great video!🤘
I just subscribed to your channel yesterday. I have enjoyed perusing your videos and am pretty impressed with your skills. On this one you lost me. Isn’t it more likely that the cracked head and antifreeze intrusion is the cause for the lifters and cam damage? If not I’m headed for catastrophe because I run synthetic oils in all eight of our cars.
Welcome home brother man
I think gasket another great video I learn so much about these you need to make a VIDEO ON BUYING A JEEP
A band adjustment video for the 42re would be cool
DEX- any leak down test needs to be done at 100psi Minimum.
60 psi ain’t simulating combustion pressures.
Not even close. .
Dex, I love your videos - keep up the good work. I have to comment on this one. The video showed the engine had a cracked head which you replaced. The bad lifter was probably from the cracked head, not from using synthetic oil. There is a lot of new research that shows that flat tappet lifters work fine with synthetic oils AFTER a proper break-in using conventional break-in oil with ZDDP. Check out the Oil Geek videos.
I've never seen a cam lobe used as a grinding wheel before.
No, thank you, and have a good day 😂
Love a nice TJ
Non tupy 00+ heads are junk. They all crack eventually. Mine cracked at 260k and hurt the cam bearings... Give that much wear and level of disassembly I am surprised you didn't do cam bearings on it.
Put all the jeeps big square rows and paint the roofs red white an blue then fly your drone an take a pic lol it would look like a big flag made out of jeeps from the sky
Great video!The right way to do CSI!
Ive seen cam and lifter relationship that are ok sometimes and not others because the lifter spins there a grove in the lifter when its lined up almost no lift and when its turned some lift
Thank you

This seems to be a problem with all the flat tappet lifters and cams nowadays. Ive been reading posts and eatching videos for small block chevy engine builds and people who have built 100's or possibly 1000's of them have said the last few years its 50/50 on wiping out a cam lobe/lifter/both within a couple hundred miles, if not during the first 20 minutes(break in). As the automated world has moved to mostly roller cams and lifters, many lifter manufacturers have outsourced their lifter to overseas and the quality is not as good. I think elgin is one of the few(possibly the only one) that still makes their lifters here in the U.S. And yes, you are 100% correct about using full synthetic on these old antiquated engines and the lack of zinc in moder synthetic oil.
I do jave one question though. Fo you think the bearings(main, rod, and cam) should have been changed being that all those metallic particles were circulating through the system?
Thank you for the great content
Peanut butter under the oil cap of a 00-02 4.0 generally means 0311 cylinder head doing 0311 things cracking the head between cylinder 3-4
When are you getting your youtube reward for reaching 100k subs
Brought 2 new TJs a 97 and 06 the first and last sold in Tamworth NSW 🇦🇺 I drive daily 98 TJ with 440000 ks no rust and since 97 never had a head crack issue 😀✌️. Iv also owned 3 mint XJs and family members own XJs and still daily driving them today manly country driving but guess what no head issues or this stupid over heat problem people go on with . TJ and XJ s RULE .
Nice work 🤩. Enjoyed the video
Cool stuff
Did you ever get to explaining why you don't really like Tj's compared to the XJ?
Probably cause wranglers are overpriced compared to xj’s. It’s a glorified rolling hazard
Did you make sure the intercooler system was full of fluid and the pump was working???
You will overheat the combustion chamber with a turbo and non top notch intercooler.
DEX YOU SHOULD TURBO A CHEROKEE XJ OR DO A TURBO ON A WJ WITH THE 4.7HO OR A 98 ZJ WITH THE 5.9 I HAVE 2 98 5.9 ZJs I'd let you experiment on one of them to add a TURBO. Love the content, thanks
Tj s r too expensive to buy compare to xj s my thought
Have you seen the price of xj's lately? Not much better priced than tj's
nice stock ones around my area are around 7-10 thousand no joke
Life is just better with a TJ! 🤷
What are you using to turn the motor over from the fuse box..pull the cover off a starter relay and just pinch the contacts?
i tried to do injector upgrade on my 95 xj for some reason it would not fire the 2 middle injectors even pulled some from my other xj put the 95's injectors back in runs great again
Too much zinc (ZDDP) has the opposite effect and is corrosive. Oil is a touchy subject, do your research. Lake Speed has some great videos.
so, what do you think about the rotella t5 ? it has zinc added, but it is part synthetic not full synthetic (this is what i use in all of my vehicles from the 1900's)
@22:53 Atmospheric pressure
Can you put the zinc additive you use in the description?
I have been using Mobil 1 in my 1996 XJ for 380,500 miles and now you have me worried.
DRIVEN has some dang good break-in oil, but it's pricy!!
Check out motor oil geek, he has a video all about zinc. If im remembering right certain additives plus zinc can accelerate wear more than not having any zinc at all.
Thanks for sharing. What trans is that?
If you're anything like me, you laughed way too hard at the "wiper noise"
I have questions about the programmer. I'm building a stroker for my 05 tj and I figure I'll need a programmer. Where do you begin when getting a programmer? and what type should I buy.
I run rotella in my all my 4.0l but do I need to add anything?
So what is the suggested oil I should be using in my 92 xj? I've only had it for a month now and the previous owner was using synthetic
Air intake at the dunking point??? 😱
Would you prefer the turbo or stroke the 4.0 out to 4.6?
Cam lobe washed out possibly?
I have a factory 4 door xj with 4.0 ax5 not ax15.
What kind of oil do you run?
You never drove it?? 🤔
Turbos are on the manifold 99.9%
What are you using to start the engine from the relay?
he just takes the cover off and manually closes the relay
What model is that code reader? I need it, looks like a Bosch unit
Check pawn shops.
I got one for $25
Had it for a decade.
Reads abs and trans and engine codes.
@@fastinradfordable Do you have a model so I know what to look for? Pawn shops sound like the move, I'm gonna guess they are expensive online.
@@benlizak50 actron is the brand. Many diff models. bright orange.
Looks like a old handheld toy.
Mine was made in 2012 but it still handles 2023 vehicles. 💪
How do you actually flush out the oil system ?
Change the oil twice.
I actually change my oil twice every time.
Drain it and fill with fresh.
Start it
Drain it again and replace the filter.
Fill with new oil.
And you’ve now got darn near 100% oil changed out.
Use cheap oil for the first drain and fill.
It’s worth $15,
My 400,000 mile diesel oil stays crystal clear.

I went out and got some ZDDP additive at AutoZone. None of the stores near me carry the one in your video. The AutoZone (and others) by me carries 2 brands, Rislone and Lucas. So I bought the Rislone.
After it was already in the oil, I checked out Lake Speed's episode on oil additives, and what do you know? Rislone was the worst, and Lucas won't hurt anything! LOL just my luck.

Turbo on a Wrangler😂 but why 😂😂. Note I plan to turbo my XJ but after the engine swap. 🥱
