dasbulliwagen Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Start looking for a good used 2.5 to drop in. Yours is done, will at the least need a rebuild, at most a full replacement due to broken internals. Keep an eye out on several Jeep forums and find a new engine. I bought a full running one for $100 a couple of years ago when a guy was pulling one out for a swap. They are out there. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance my motor is salvageable I'm pulling it out shortly I just wanted to know your guys thoughts on it thanks for your opinions If you give up on this, let me know, I'm looking for a Comanche with blown engine so I can get parts from it, including 4wd for my '86 2.5L. I'm in Portland area. You might have a hard time finding a 2.5L engine, almost all of them around here are 4.0L; I was surprised to see your 2.5L post from Corvallis. I went to OSU, so I don't mind making a trip down there. EDIT: Right after I said you would have a hard time finding a 2.5L, I saw this on Craigslist, no price though: http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/pts/4321803477.html I'm going to see if he has 4x4 parts for me, he's parting out the truck.

48MJ Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I'll give you a call tomorrow, looks like the e-mail was a while back. But there is a possibility to go either way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tj21 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I drove to Bend yesterday and bought an '86 Cherokee with 2.5L engine. I'm using it to get the 4x4 out of. The engine runs really well, let me know if you need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
