Jeep 4.6 Stroker pt 11: Roller Rocker Install (XJ, TJ, CJ, YJ, LJ) Mistakes Were Made!!

Today I am installing the pushrods, rocker arms, and priming the oil pump. Found an issue, and have to correct a timing problem.

I picked up this used 180k mile 4.0 Liter Jeep engine to replace the 250k mile engine in my Cherokee. After considerable thought, I have decided to build it into a rip snorting 4.6 Liter stroker for my CJ-7 and then put the current CJ motor into the XJ. Below are some resources when considering such a build.

Damn that sucks you have to re- time the engine.Glad you caught it now than later...

Minor setback, but I will get it squared away.

I was replacing a 'lobed out' cam in a Cadillac 4.1L and forgot to install the timing gear set. Yep. Those engines have a trapped front cover. Meaning it's trapped at the top by the overhang of the intake and at the bottom by the oil pan. Like a Toyota 22RE. I got done torquing the intake and went to lunch. When I returned I grabbed the package of valve cover gaskets . . . and hiding underneath them was the timing set. yep. Fortunately the RTV hadn't quite set-up yet but, . . . yeah. It happens to the best of us. anyways, Can't wait for Start day. Carry on.

It got worse...follow up video will discuss cam bolt torque discrepancies between various sources

Did you clay the head to the block? An aggressive cam with custom rockets is pretty ballsy, IMHO. But I'm still learning this stuff, admittedly, and so would never trust my own numbers, lol.
Good catch on that timing!! You would've chased your tail probably if installed, lol.

This build is a well used recipe in Jeep Stroker circles, no issues with valve to piston clearance
