Jeep 4.0 Engine Removal: Engine Rebuild Part 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Here we continue on with the Project 92 YJ and remove the 4.0 engine. This is a 1992 Jeep Wrangler YJ with an inline 6 4.0L engine. The AMC 4.0 engine is very common in Wranglers and Cherokees. This is the process I went through to remove the engine once it was fully prepped for removal. Be sure to check out my other videos on this Project 92 YJ to see how I got the engine ready for removal.

I like that you get right into the video without a 5 minute explanation before hand. Its straight to the point
Thank you. I hope you follow along on the rebuild. Posting a video Friday about piston ring installation.
@@JeepSolid I sure will. I'm getting a parts XJ to use for my rusty XJ to get that street legal. Then this summer I will swap all the parts over to the new one and rebuild it because it is rust free but has bad rodknock. I've been looking for rebuild videos so tha I know what I'm getting into and your series is the best by far
To honest I had not watched this film as I have done it so many times myself. Great video as always Dale. My one suggestion is to pull both or at least one fender. It isn't hard to float everything for one. It makes the engine removal a simple job and you can get to your tub-fender bolts out to clean and paint that area. It is very prone to rusting on the bottom. Great film.
I can’t believe I haven’t seen your videos until now! I now feel confident on rebuilding my inline 6 250 out of a Nova thanks for your help your videos are very informative and detailed!!!
Awesome! Glad they’re helpful to you
its june of 2024, my 17th birthday is in march of 2025 and me and my dad just decided we were going to take our 91' jeep yj with a 6 cylinder 4L engine apart and rebuild it to be my first car. wish us luck.
That’s awesome! I hope it’s a fun project for you 2
I’m about to do mine with a buddy I’m 20
Okay, I need you to work your magic, I haven't watched the video yet but you have been great in the past. 91 YJ engine swap here I go. Thanks for the channel. You have helped a lot of people and are a God Send to me.
You can do it!! Take your time. Keep things organized and it’s not that hard. Keep us posted 👍
The ammount of time I spent solo fixing mine🤣nice to know im not the only one
great job guys!
Great video. One suggestion get yourself a rock bar. Makes it easy to move the engine hoist side to side. Been there done that. Place the bar between the leg and the floor. Lift and it moves easily. Crow bar would work to, just harder.
Aw damn! It looks like I’m in for a manageable nightmare. 😆
I have to pull one myself and not looking forward to it.
Had to sub for 1 reason. Ur a hawks fan!!! And how to rebuild this engine comes second. 😂 ty for the vids love it. I want to get one of these jeep as well and do the same thing. U got urself a fan for sure now!!!
Love seeing the progress. What a workout getting that engine out though
You got a like because of the cat! 😁
Video is really helpful. We have a cat that helps us work too. Usually sits on our back while we work.
You should get an external slave bell housing and convert your slave cylinder while you have the engine out. Just my humble opinion. Great job, I enjoy your videos and learn allot from them. I have a ‘94 Jeep YJ with the 2.5L, its time to pull my engine and rebuild it.
Yeah, definitely something to look into. Would be nice mod.
JeepSolid - I believe all you need is the bell housing, new release bearing & slave cylinder.
I’m in the process of retrofitting a Jeep TJ nv3550 and hydraulic clutch into my brothers 83 cj7 with the 258. I was surprised how easily things just bolted together, except the clutch pedal, I’m still working on that one. Good luck, can’t wait for the next video! 👍
Congrats! Know youve been working on that one for awhile!
Thanks man! Yeah, other family and job issues keep me pretty busy. But, got it done!!
Great set of videos on the YJ. they have really helped with with my 95 project. I'm about to pull the engine on mine, but missed the part where you removed the front grille? I saw the radiator removal vid, was it there and I missed it? Keep em coming! Great job!
Thank you! Yep, I have a grille removal. Here ya go.. ua-cam.com/video/NnO_F31ElLU/v-deo.html
Good job man. I am starting on removing my 4.0 on my 99 tj sunday. Replacing it with a long block 4.0. Glad to see I am not the only one to remove the grill. Jeep on!
Aaron, I have the same 99TJ, how did your removal go and would you do it again? I want to tackle mine soon, can you or anyone offer advice on how to keep all of the removed parts straight and do you keep a log of your steps to then play in reverse? Also, how difficult is it to align the engine with the transmission when putting back together (mine is an automatic)?
Thanks for the video....very helpful
Thank you this video really helped was having trouble pulling the motor out
Way to make it look easy. Great video
Haha. Thanks!
I feel you with the not having any helpers. Currently planning on how to pull the 4.0 on my Comanche without another set of hands 😑
Cool! No helpers, just have to get a little creative at times.👍
Question: Why do they have the two 1/2 inch diameter bolts on the bell housing (both sides, near the bottom) that only help secure the inspection cover?
You claimed you had no helpers around, as one of your best buddies was sitting right next to you, infront of the windshield lol
This is a great video. There are a few differences on mine. It’s an 02. I am currently doing everything in the video that you’re doing except the transmission is sitting on a skid plate and I only have to block it above the transfer case. By the way, what’s the name of your cat?
Looks like you could use some Gearwrenches... and..the passenger side motor mount, you could've just un-bolted the mount from the frame... I just replaced my motor mounts last weekend...easy peesy...
Yeah, just going after the motor mount may have been quicker.
I have a 1997 Wrangler 4.0L with 210,000 miles. Engine is still running fine but going to be pro-active and drop in a new crate engine from AWP before I get any older. Can you do a video on how to reinstall the distributor on a replacement engine. Not sure if I can just drop in the old distributor without first indexing the firing position and/or is the new crate engine already indexed to receive the distributor? Hope this makes since....
Great video! Very happy to see it out of the jeep! So just noticed at 2:12ish when you were removing the two top bolts on the bell housing that they were hex heads. When I did mine I had to go out and buy whats called a "E-12" socket in order to remove it. Went down to my local ace and bought 2 grade 8 Hex replacements when I reinstalled. Is that a factory thing on your 92? I have a 95 with the 4.0 and it was not fun getting to them.
Yeah, some have that E12. Not sure if the previous owner had swapped them out...? I should have mentioned that in my video...
Watched your video regarding the use of Plastigauge during your piston install. I've yet to dig into my 4.0L but was just curious. What if the clearance is out of specification during my build? Hopefully it'll be fine come that point in my rebuild so just curious.
so if I have my 4.0 rebuilt, my engine will be pretty much good as new? I'm trying to take my YJ on some long distance trips
When you got the engine free you were saying you really needed someone's help. What about that slacker cat? He's just sitting around licking his paws.
My 91 4.0L lost oil pressure and now I suffer the great knocking of 2020. What happened to yours?
Hi I saw your video, I am planning on removing my engine in my jeep also. How long did it take from start to take things apart, removal, install, and put it all together?
Questions 2000 jeep Cherokee 4.0. Fits 2000 wrangle need help
Do you have to take transmission out with engine? If transmission comes out do I need to detach gear shifter? I put a new pool ball on it and I don't want it scratched up.
transmission doesn't have to come out with it
Good stuff!
Thanks! Coming along nicely.
I have a 95 4.0 that I want to swap into a 2002 grand cherokee. Is this possible with out a lot of wiring issuses
You have beutifull cat
Good job on the extraction! I assume you're just rebuilding this motor and re-installing? DO you know anyone that has swapped in a small block V8? I am thinking of doing that with my old '89 YJ. The 4.2l is pretty bagged out, and I don't know if it was ever much of a motor. Thoughts? Cheers.
Thanks!! The 4.2 was a great engine for many years, but it would be nice to get away from the old carburator...
got damn 1 second in a I thought steve buscemi was here
Are there any videos explaining the break-in procedure?
There will be 👍
Hi All help appreciated...Will a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Country motor inner change with a 1998 Jeep Cherokee XJ. I have already notice that some of my plug ends are different on the 98 vs the 96. LIKE...Sensors IAC, MAP,,TPS, etc. Coil and also oil sending unit, fuel injecter .. I think i can just change the above mentioned parts onto the 96 motor but i dont know if one of those parts is my problem on the 98 now. 98 has a bad miss and lose of power. riding home from work just started missing and lose a lot of power. Still will star and run and takes gas good but misses. The 96 is a good motor. lot a miles but still a good motor. I just need to know if these motors will inner change.
Yes
uhhhhgggg I get annoyed when the engine hoist is called a cherry picker. :-/
But thank you for the engine shackling advice. I have to do a pull in a week but I'm thinking of pulling the transmission with it so I can clean it and other parts. Also I hear its easier.
cherry picker incorrect...? I guess slang.
@@JeepSolid Any hydraulic crane has the slang "cherry picker". I think if it doesn't fill the job of lifting someone to pick cherries or anything similar to this it doesn't deserve or relate to the nickname. It just makes me shudder because I have treated people electrocuted by cherry pickers, the ones that lift a person to the tops of trees and power lines.
What did you do with the A/C? I am about to start this project due to rod knock.
This project did not have ac
What wheels do you have
How much in total did it cost start to finish to rebuild the jeep?
Don't know yet... working on assembly now. Stay tuned 👍
Your life probably would've been easier if you removed the fenders. Gives you more room to play with.
Perhaps, but got er done 👍
