Not sure on a YJ, but done the same trick on various motors - and yup - as long as you have an engine hoist with enough lift, tke everything out as one. As I said, tho - not sure on YJs, :oops:

may be something tricky - calling Dr Mike?!?

thanks for that ,
i have taken the whole front off the yj grill rad etc etc ,so just a gaping hole,looking back at me .looks like open heart surgery is about to take place .
so engine should just pull forward and out .
should being the operative word .

Hope it goes OK

yup will make it easy but go slow as you will have forgot to remove a pipe or wire

Hi Marc , yes it gonna be best to take the whole lot out in one go ! the only prob is with lifted jeeps it tough to get enough lift on the engine hoist. i would consider removing the transfer case before hand as it will hit every where as you lift it :shock: :shock:

good luck catch up at c/f

Don't forget to order yourself a new pilot bearing.

Yeah, if he's getting one from a 4.0 XJ it won't have one cos it'll be an automatic. (I'm assuming the YJ is manual)

I bought an OEM clutch kit from Lighthouse for the CJ. It didn't work out much more expensive than 4WD.

Bubba · « **Reply #23 on:** August 18, 2006, 05:49:03 PM »

he never used to like buying from the states but you are correct

malpasso man · « **Reply #24 on:** August 18, 2006, 06:26:01 PM »
