Facebook groups

I'm I'm this jeep Cherokee face book group and I like it but there's so many people that just hate on you and tell you that you can't do it. It gets so annoying. I was asking a question apart tearing about my motor and some guy tells me that I shouldn't be doing this by myself. It really pissed me off

Don't ask those neigh-sayers for advice.

 

Before tearing the engine apart, be sure to research all aspects of the tear down and the rebuild.  Anticipate the parts you will/may need, then expect more needed.  

 

Build up the parts list and compare prices for suppliers.  Don't forget to factor in shipping if you buy on-line vs. buying from a local supplier - ie. sales tax.

 

I am swapping out a 4.2 carb from a CJ7 for a 4.0 FI.  I have read numerous threads on different Jeep forums, and watched several Youtube videos for the swap to understand what I may encounter.  I am sure I will have issues not discussed/covered in the threads/videos.  

 

I have the engine and am about to start cleaning it and putting new gaskets all over.

 

Good luck.  Don't let those others discourage you.

If your going to use the Facebook groups try the Comanche ones,they are filled with people from here and alot more friendly.

 

There can be some decent info on some of the Cherokee pages after you sort through the bs but you have to have thick skin.

Not unusual. Facebook groups give everyone a chance to voice their opinion. 99% of the time that's a bad thing, as most people don't know half of what they think they do. The only one worth a damn I've seen is the one simply called "Jeep Comanche", and the only reason it's worth a damn is that there's several familiar names from this forum setting the blowhards and rectal orfices straight.

 

But yes, tearing down an engine isn't something to be taken lightly. Do your homework before you ever start, and take lots of pics and stay organized.
