The jeep Cherokee is one of the greatest cars ever produced. I own an 89’ limited 4.0L and it’ll probably get me another 300,000 miles. Such a pleasure to drive, sticks to the road like glue and can make it over almost anything I put infront of it. Love cherokees so much.
Yo tengo una Grand cherokee Laredo zj del 93, y la comodidad es algo q no es fácil de encontrar en autos nuevos! Tiene fuerza y corre bastante bien , estoy un poco triste xq no encuentro repuestos para la transmisión,( Peugeot ba-10),
For what they were designed to do, they're wonderful engines. Much like the Chrysler Slant 6, they just run forever without much fuss - and now this particular one has been fortified with vitamins and iron! Very enjoyable as always *Davin* - can't wait to see what you tackle next. - Ed on the Ridge
those 4.0L jeep engines have their roots in the AMC 199 that was first used by Rambler in 1964. obviously certain revisions have been done, but the main architecture is the same. Which is why he was able to use a 258 crank. The Chrysler slant 6, the Ford 300, the Chevy stove bolt, and the AMC 258/jeep 4.0 are all amazingly durable and effective.
@@mindeloman most straight 6 (I6) are super durable. Most over the road Diesel engines are I6. They have 2 more mains than a v8. And more spinning mass to make power.
I guess I'm in the minority. I was head Jeep mechanic at a Chrysler/Jeep dealership back in the late 80's. This model jeep was declared the #1 most repaired vehicle by Consumer reports. They would pull in the shop and I could tell just by listening how much money I was going to make.
It is a fascinating case study of an engine; thanks for taking on this project. For all of the prestige and allure of the American V8, there is not much more-American motor than a Jeep Six-Cylinder
Awesome! Reminds me of the much less technical re-build I helped my Dad with on a 1988 Cherokee when I was 8 years old. Priceless memory and thank you for the reminder!
I used to Build those Vehicles, In 1985 got hired at the age of 22... at the AMC plant/Willies PKWY, Toledo Ohio... One of my Favorite Jeep's, right Next to the J-20 Pick up!
There is something very special about the sound of a straight six. Really enjoy the content that David puts out, like the honest way he presents. And his obvious knowledge of what he does.
Back in 99, I worked in a rural body shop. We rebuilt the body on a customer's low mileage '94, exactly like this one, but hunter green. One of Tech's actually talked the owner into selling it to him a few years later for $2,500! Wow!
This makes me really happy. My dad used to have a 2002 jeep grand Cherokee with this type of engine, and it lasted for 270,000 miles. Before it decided it didn’t like the NO.6 piston
Love what your doing! The classic V8 is right down my alley. Not sure if you’re interested but a series where you take newer vehicles, break them down and discover, discuss and correct poor engineering oversights, would be unbelievably valuable. Add some much needed mods and some flair to keep it interesting would be cool too. Anyhow thanks for your time and I hope this message reaches the minds that make it all happen. Thanks and I hope to watch your subscriber base grow more than ever. -AD
For living in Michigan, the body on that Cherokee is in really nice shape. Another great video, thanks guy’s, I don’t care what vehicle one prefers, these videos make you like them all!
4:55, was expecting roller rockers. This video made me miss my 98' XJ Sport. The engine with simple oil changes would have lasted forever if the body didn't rust apart. RIP Black Thunder. Screenplay and chill tune made this a very fun watch even with the heartbreak.
We have a 10 year old girl and a 6 year old girl that loves watching your videos! And we can play them and walk away because I know there’s zero profanity, and it’s actually education and fun! Thanks for all you do!
The attention to detail is from another planet. The shots of the masking tape getting unwrapped was mental. I was snobing the project cause it's not a European car but as soon as i saw the 6pot i knew i had to watch the whole series. Congratulations!
The Jeep 4.0L is legendary. They just run. And run. And run. I have personally seen a 4.0L from a 2004 TJ that was on it's third Jeep lol. No clue of the milage but it had been in two daily drivers and then transplanted into a dedicated off road rig without ever being rebuild. Smoked a little but still had plenty of power.
This was and is one of my favorite engines I've ever dealt with. Easy to work with. Few failure points. Reliable to a fault. With 40 years of service the parts availability keeps them affordable to work with.
The engine originally dates back to the 60's when it powered an AMC Rambler. It's also powered IH farm equipment, full size J-10 pickups, cars, trucks Jeeps ect. My 1992 Jeep YJ Sahara is still virtually showroom condition, has never seen snow, salt or even rain. I've never sunk it in mud and water. I only use it in deserts and mountains around Death Valley and it's never left to bake in the sun. The original paint (matte finish sage green) is still like new and it's fast becoming a collector.
@@jeepmanxj I found it covered with 20 years of dust, old newspapers and magazines in the far back of a big garage. Had bad gas so it wouldn't start. Trailered i home, cleaned it up and discovered it was basically new still. It was parked and forgotten about. I have other off road machines that are well-used off road.
At my work we have a Roumaldes. He is a master in Land Rovers, and pull the whole underbody with engine and raising the cabin in 6 hours, and then next day changes the turbo, and day 3 lower everything back down and testing. He is an very quiet muscular Lithuania that works in Denmark, and his work it is all SO impressive to observe.
Best engine rebuild video I've seen for a4.0L to 4.6L overhaul. I just picked up a 1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport that needs some work. Ordered up so many new parts, but this, this video makes me want to go all in. Great job looks and sounds absolutely amazing!
No me canso de ver sus videos, son un placer la prolijidad y dedicacion que ponen en sus trabajos me obligan a ver una y mil veces los mismo videos sin cansarme, saludos desde argentina💪🏼🇦🇷
You put the head bolts in the wrong spot. I only know because I made the same mistake rebuilding my engine. At least on mine(2000 xj) the smaller head bolts with the tabs sticking up goes one in from the ends. In order to line the valve cover gasket. But it looks like your gasket doesn't have the metal strips going in between. Either way, great video. I've learned a lot from watching your videos. I wish I watched them before I rebuilt my engine. Keep up the good work, it's much appreciated.
ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY STUNNING PRODUCTION. THE 4.0 I6 IS THE SIMPLEST MOST RELIABLE AND STREAMLINE ENGINE KNOWN TO MAN! A+++ THIS HAD ME SMILING THE WHOLE TIME EDITOR NEEDS A RAISE!!
Been waiting for a Redline Rebuild of the Jeep 4.0 for some time and it's definitely well worth it! As always, I enjoyed the video so much. Keep up the great work!
That is a work of art. I love my XJ! That rig is almost identical to mine, red, black fender trim, 2 door, except I have the back seat pop out windows, and tinted all around the back. Granted, my paint isn’t as good. The ‘87 has collected a lot of UV over the years! I should add, based on other comments, I bought mine in Wisconsin, but moved West so she’s never seen salt.
These are so good it inspired me to film my own time-lapse rebuilding an engine and transmission. No where near this level, but it was fun to do. Almost done editing it!
Ok, not only do i love to see an engine bored and rebuilt, but the editing here was fantastic! The camera panning during time-lapse and the way the tape balled itself up after paint, that was really cool to see. @Hagerty, you guys really keep the passion alive. And thank you @rockauto, I just spent nearly $2k with you guys in the past 3 months but it's the best $ I've spent 😂 can't wait till I can get my 4.0 looking this good ❤
This is the best team, best channel, best everything to keep me working hard and do my best at the garage. Old School rules, passion for what we do, I think its a way of life just for a few. Congrats, and keep doing this amazing time lapse. Hugs and peace. Frank.

Amazing Engine, different from what we're used to watch in the channel, Amazing job from Davin and all the crew behind, Please keep doing builds like this guys, Love the channel, love the work that all of you do!
if there was an “engine overhaul” category at the Oscars - ^^ this would take it all. Magnificent work Hagerty!
It would walk up to an LS on stage and slap the life out of it.

i did a 4.6 stroker in our XJ years ago. it made me love that rig. so much fun! we had 4.56 on 33" tires with an automatic. perfect!

Please give your cameraman/editor raises. This was the best build Timelapse I’ve ever seen!
Be sure to check out all the other Redline Rebuild videos if this is the first one you've seen!
@@Hagerty I will, but only if you give them raises, make sure to account for hyperinflation too :)
timelapse? there was even some stop motion in there! this took a WHILE to make for sure
This is probably the most underrated stop motion channel on TH-cam.
i did not see that coming, timelapse was great and i expected that, but proper stop motion like that takes forever
The John Rambo of vehicle engines. Great work, skill & talent.

It’s actually a Colorado car! We bought it SPECIFICALLY because it WASN’T a Michigan car! 😆
Gotta say, the 4.0 jeep is a workhorse of a engine. Had a Cherokee just like this and that thing never failed me.

That generation of Jeep and that 4.0 i6 engine is legendary. Paint is in fantastic condition too
I'm not a mechanic, never was. I build sailing ships for a living. I find this work amazing! I would love to learn how to do some of this.
This whole thing is a work piece of art. The engine, the skill, the camera man, the editing. Wow

I built a 4.6 stroker about 6 years ago, I used the edelbroc aluminum head and it was a game changer.
I had a 92 XJ and I still wish I had it. It had about 200,000 miles on it with zero motor issues as long as I owned it.
It is great to watch you take on the stroker 4.6 build. I bet the Jeep owner is super happy.
Now that's a proper exhaust note!

Some sweet upgrades on that build! Double roller timing chain is a huge plus!
❤️
That tape ain't gonna peel itself.... 2:51 - "actually..." Never stop loving these time-lapses!
One of the best and coolest, vehicles america has ever made!!
I just love Cherokees. It’s such a shame that they are relatively rare in Germany and hence pretty expensive.
Awesome built!
As an American, we should develope a exchange program. We supply jk's, in exchange for e30's 😁
@@sidewayzmike I'm 100% behind this
@@sidewayzmike Deal (coincidentally, my 944's new garage neighbour is a white two-door 323i, I guess that has to stay here, though).
I hope one day my 91 XJ turns into that. The 93 is so nice. Well done.
This reminds me of the saying, you aren't paying for my labor, you're paying me for my knowledge. For both the rebuild folks and the video editor.
Videos like this make me happy. It makes me even happier to know that Hagerty does these rebuilds out of my home state of Michigan! Hell yeah!
That tape removal scene after the block paint job... **chef's kiss**
This is what happens when you love your craft, outstanding.
Been waiting for a Redline Rebuild of the Jeep 4.0 for some time and it's definitely well worth it!
As always, I enjoyed the video so much. Keep up the great work!

This is actually one of the coolest builds I've seen because you don't see many of them. Just like you don't see many 4.9 liter Ford inline 6 builds.
In-line 6's are just so many kinds of awesome. Wish the mfr's were still putting them in cars & light trucks. I hate V-6s.
Absolutely gorgeous. The damn pinnacle of art.

Hagerty is the best.. Awesome 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice Job Davin and crew !!!!

That's one of the best cherokees they made with the rare 5 speed and its red too!Take care of that one there's not many left out there.
