Kalal92 Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Everything is the same as my old 86 Comanche block, the 90 Cherokee 2.5 oil filter threads are to small and the oil filter is too big too small to fit on but both will fit on the 1986 2.5 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Pete M Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 I don't understand. dd they give you the wrong part?
Kalal92 Posted December 22, 2018 Author Posted December 22, 2018 I don't understand. dd they give you the wrong part? (new)Everything else lines up this is my only issue i’ve bought multiple oil filters for different years and still nothing (old)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Pete M Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 so you've replaced the block from the junkyard and they are saying it's from a 90 XJ, yes? I guess it's possible that the previous owner of that XJ replaced the block at some point. what are the casting numbers in the block? can you simply remove the threaded bit and replace with your old part?

DirtyComanche Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 Why not swap the thread adapter? Or try a standard thread oil filter (should be 91+).

Kalal92 Posted December 23, 2018 Author Posted December 23, 2018 There was this little orange plastic piece sitting here when I pull it out of the new motor there wasn’t one in the old do I need it or what is it for?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Kalal92 Posted December 23, 2018 Author Posted December 23, 2018 ? Anyone know?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Pete M Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 you might have to be a bit patient this particular weekend. i've never torn a 2.5 down that far so I'm of no great use.
Eagle Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 ^^^ What is this photo supposed to be showing? Did you swap the threaded adapter from the old engine?
