I just got almost for free Jeep 1988 4.2 . Did not run . I started changed fluids , oil etc , and engine is knocking like woodpicker .
To me soung like broken lifter ( my friends have same opinion ).
I know I shoud change camshaft and lifters . My question is -
-do I need remove engine head to do this job?
-maybe better idea is to buy another engine from junk-yard instal , use for while and in same time rebiuld this knocking ? -Any idea how much cost used complite engine -some links?
-how about remanufactired engines -avaliable on line for about $1400 ? -Are they OK -is it good price ?
I never had Jeep before , I like this vehicycle a lot , I would brigh this vehicycle to life again .
I know how to do most job , I just need good advices .
I will be happy if someone will give me some links about problem above , some advices .
How much will cost me to buy all parts needed to rebiuld engine by myself ?
Another problem with Jeep. I have automatic transmition -is OK-but when I stop on red light many times engine dies . Normal RPM is about 600 as should be . I did not do tune-up yet . Maybe is needed .
What is your opinion about this problem ?
Maybe I need change fuel pump ? Or maybe is some adjustment on this pump ?
And last question , power stering . When engine is warm , power steering does not work as good as when is cold . Is there some adjastment on power steering pump ?
Any help is needed . Thank you .
