FYI anyone doing this job.
-Do not snug cover bolts down until you seat the harmonic balancer past the seal. This centers the seal on the harmonic balancer and will increase the life of the seal. You will need to pull it back off to tighten two of the small bolts on the driver side of the engine.
-Recommend changing the balancer if yours is 20 years old.
-RTV is only necessary where the paper gasket meets the oil pan gasket, copper spray a gasket on the paper works great, and not as messy. Not that RTV doesn't work as well.
-Really not recommended to put a new chain on old sprockets, the teeth wear significantly. I have never heard of the chain being the cause of a 4.0L failure, but it is good practice just to change it when the timing cover is off. Note, that front crank seal is very difficult to remove with the cover in place. You will probably end up causing additional damage and removing the cover anyways.
At Dan's house, the kids don't sing "the foot bone's connected to the leg bone, the leg bone's connected to the....", they sing the XJ version instead. Altogether now, "The thermostat led me to the water pump, the water pump led me to the timing chain, the timing chain led me to the crankshaft, the..." 🥳🥳🥳
🤣🤣🤣🤣 yes! You nailed it bro! Hope ya got those parts ok 😁
Yes, I got them. Your box was bigger, but I think mine weighed more. HEAVY... LOL
The index finger truly is the all time champion RTV applicator 🏆
🤣🤣🤣 yes sir! Been caulking and RTVing for 30 years strong 😂😂😂
Another great video! Thanks for adding another project to my list of projects!😁
LMAO! I don't know if I should congratulate you or apologize! 🤣 Always work to do on a 20 yr old Jeep!
Nice work and very helpful video. Thanks for posting it.
Oh yea! I know it's going to be a good day when I get a new episode of the project!
You're the man bro! Thanks 💪
GREAT video! Thanks so much for posting!
I am in the middle of a similar, not quite as wrecked, project and this helped me so much!
Mine is a 1998 Cherokee XJ Classic in Deep Amethyst Pearl with 187,000 miles on it.
Glad it was helpful! Follow @justjeep_it on Instagram. he has an amethyst XJ too!
Great explanation, as usual. In the past, I have put the pulley back on, with the cover still loose, to make sure the seal is even, round the crank, then tightened down the cover bolts. Not sure if it is necessary though!
That's pretty cool. Thinking outside the box on that one!
I was going to comment the same thing. The FSM calls out the use of a "timing case cover alignment and seal installation tool" to center the crank in the seal. I've heard of the same suggestion to install the new balancer before torqing to ensure correct alignment.
Nice okay cool, it’s good to read this because that was going to be my plan was well.
That is the the correct way. Doing that centers the seal and make it last longer.
Great video Dan! Long live the XJ 👍😊
Thanks brother! XJ for life!
Nice job Dan it's coming along great 👍🏾😁
Thanks 👍
Just checked out your channel and your Instagram. Figured you for a fellow Long Islander. I left the Island (Central Islip) in ‘89 when I was 21 after a tour of duty in the Navy, but, it never leaves you. I grew up with a dad who had an AMC Jeepster Commando and going wheeling on the dunes. I’m in Northern Nevada now and, between the high desert and the Sierras, it is a veritable playground for all things Jeep. Keep up the great work you’re doing! You must know that your reach on TH-cam is huge and so, so needed.
Thank you!! maybe ill retire out there one day! Thank you for your service, God bless!
Holy cow that cardboard trick is genius
Lol, thanks Sean!
Always a pleasure
Great job Dan. 👍🏼
Thanks Brother!
Nice job Brother.That chain was definitely ready to be replaced.👍👍👊
Lol! There was definitely A LOT of play!
Great Video Dan.
I did my Harmonic balancer and timing chain back in January. Made several mistakes and too much to comment about😂
Lol! That's funny. I probably could have used a new harmonic balancer too!
First time I put it all back together, I was admiring my work and then later I noticed on the table,the chain tensioner😳
Took it apart, put it all back together, couple hours later looking at it I noticed on the floor the small section of oil pan gasket😭 lots of bad words…
Nice work Brother
Thanks Andy!
Nice job, thanks 😊
Thank you !
Great video.
Thank you Bob! 👍
Good Vid 🖒🖒 Need to do mine !
Thanks man! God speed!
I was considering doing this while I’m doing the RMS but I hate doing the harmonic balancer in the car so I may just cross that bridge when I have to one day
Does it matter which stroke the no 1 cylinder is on?
Excelente video, me hubiera servido mucho hace 6 meses atrás 😅
Translation w/DeepL - "Excellent video, I could have used it 6 months ago."
I could've used it 8 years ago when I was chasing a oil leak in our '92.
lol! Thanks for watching
buen video mi pana
Thanks man!
I was wondering if that red stuff was loctite? Did you use it and the black gasket? Thanks for the video with the torque specs!
dan on the camshaft bolt is it 50 ft pounds or 80 /on 96 jeep cherokee 4.0
Awesome
You know what's ironic about this, That bolt that was loose on yours and that fell out, Was the same exact way on my WJ. That could have honestly been catastrophic if it would have got caught behind the crank pulley
Great video!
Got a big question hopping you might respond.
I put a 99 TJ engine into my 93 XJ, and after about a year i noticed a knocking sound, decided to do a inspection of connecting rod bearings and all where okay, noticed timming chain was very loose, soo i decided to order a cloyes timming chain and new sprockets. when i pulled timming cover off i noticed the timming chain guide was broken into 3 peices, and very hard. well, the new timming kit was missing the chain guide but my father inlaw had a spare one, also kinda old and hard. anyways finished the install and the knocking noise was gone! was very happy, and then a month later it started comming back, and now its very bad on first start up but goes away quickly once its warmed up.
my question is, can a timming chain guide on these 4.0L engines cause it to sound like its knocking, if its not there?? It more sounds like a clanking noise.
or is the cloyes timming chain stretched over the last couple years lol... and without the guide is rattling against my timming cover?
Story time- Had a '92, my ol' lady's, developed a ridiculous oil leak. Qt. a week, no joke. Nearly impossible to find b/c by the time I got to it, everything was caked and baked on and dripping all the way back to the tailpipe. Short story, I tried finding the highest, wettest oil. Used fluorescent dyes too.. They just got blown around too. Could've sworn it was coming from the timing chain area cover thing. Spent some srs time getting to learn new things.
Replaced the chain, gears, etc.. Got it done right, still leaking like she just wanted to party all the time. I was mad. Still am 8+ yrs later, fr. Bought a compressor and tools just for that damn job.
Lesson- Check your GD "oil filter adapter" o-rings. It's ONE bolt that's a pia to the block on passenger side when the filter is off. Firstly, triple check the o-ring set to actually fit like you need. I could not find them (x2) locally on the east coast at any box store. They're labeled to work, but nah for me. '92 OR '98 xjs. Amz to the rescue.
I hear ya. i have a 92 blazer had a huge oil leak that turned out to be the oil filter adapter o ring. I had to put die in to find it. the trick with die is to check as soon ap possible to see where it originates.
the better Idea is to just DO AWAY with the Fan All together and add an electric fan run cooler better MPG and just eliminates problems Important need to tuck some past or sealant on pan gasket and the corners where the pan reaches the timing cover that is a leek just waiting to happen
It sealed very well, I did the rear main shortly after and re sealed the whole pan again. Never had a clutch fan issue... Maybe wel do an Efan mod later.. Thanks for watching!
Hi and thanks for all the very helpful videos about the xj. My xj is from 1999 and I need a scan tool for it. Dan which scan tool would you recommend. Best regards from Denmark 😊
Hey! Thanks for watching!! For android phones I use this...
amzn.to/39IrV5B
I have an annoying issue it’s that exact same little squeak at the very end of the video it’s stops and goes very like 2-3 seconds if someone could possibly answer why out xjs are doing it. In the video it starts when he starts up the car at the end.
Get a new belt and make sure its tight!
Do you think it’s possible to pull off the harmonic balancer without removing the radiator (and everything in front of it)?
oh man, I'm sure its possible, it might be a tough squeeze tho.
I need to do this on my 04 daily, my front seal leaks, and my rear main leaks. Gonna wait till fall, when temps are a little kinder. I got all the parts including timing chain, gears, oil pump and pickup tube just in case and while I'm there. Was gonna do my 95 too, but number 3 rod decided to start knocking a bit. Still quiet on startup but it's there along with 10 psi oil pressure at idle after warmed up. Yep, that one will get the engine yanked out...hmmm, maybe a stroker...
Videos to come on Wrecked J include oil pan swap, oil pan gasket, oil pump, rear main seal, and connecting rod bearings... also a lift 😁
@@ProjectDanH Awesome. I'm considering replacing rod bearings in my 95, but may just put a used unit. Low oil pressure.
I always put RTV on the balancer inside ... I have had them weep oil.
Good tip!
I've seen there is a roller style chain set for these is that worthwhile or better to use factory style
I honestly don't know... I do know that a other MOPAR timing chain will get you another 150k miles easily 😁
@@ProjectDanH my 95 sport is at 228k im sure its factory chain set
@@ProjectDanH Right there.. That honesty, that- you don't know. Subscribed. We're all on this little blue dot to learn together. Lesson here - There are some things that you just don't skimp on. I don't think I've ever seen a list of those things now that I think about it.. Tires, brakes, shoes, and pillows off the top haha
Those clutch fan bolts are a pain coming off and worse going back on.
yep! they're the worst!
At what mileage do I need to think about doing the timing chain? I'm at 116k on a 1998 and the harmonic balancer needs doing as the rubber elements are failing; but I hadn't realised chains were an item to consider changing on the 4.0! Wouldn't want to ignore it if its on a count down.
For the most part it only needs changed under the following circumstances:
1. When it breaks.
2. When it gets so loose it is scraping the timing cover.
3. When you are doing other work that requires removing it, opening the cover to do other work, etc. (a might as well while you're at it thing).
