- After a year or so building of this engine, I finally built up the courage to start this beast up. With this being my first ever stroker or even mildly built engine, tension was very high. I was extremely nervous and making mistakes constantly. With no choice but to start it one day we made it happen with only one small issue!! Can't wait to drive this in a Jeep one day soon! Enjoy!

i would kill to have a friend or two like yall. thanks for the video
Go cruise some back roads on the weekend with a cooler of beer. When you see some guys out playing with their projects stop by and introduce yourself.
💯
@aaadamt964 way too many meth heads. They would kill me just for my 1st gen toyota
@@aaadamt964I've met a bunch of cool people doing just that. Cruising around the local trails out by the lake. I helped him get out of hole he was stuck in. One of my best buds now.
The other holes in your filter cutter is for smaller filters, believe it or not my 15 year old daughter noticed that when I wanted to cut a Corolla filter open and I said it’s too small for “I have the same cutter you have” she said just move the bearings to those other holes. I felt really dumb, she knows nothing about cars and I have been working on the for 35 years, you never know who is going to teach you a thing or two. Congratulations on the new 5.0
51:24 The smile on his face is priceless! You can tell he was second guessing himself until that very moment in the video. The grin on his face said it all.
Sounds pretty snappy, can't wait to see what you shoehorn it into. Thanks for the update Dex.
All engines sound snappy without a 50lb torque converter bolted to the flywheel.
Dex you are the jeep god. That motor is sweet
Yo bro the long videos are awesome bro like a dexter movie
Dex, I had a 4.7 stroker and that thing was out of this world! I guess it had 360 foot pounds of torque. I could get my Jeep to pop, wheelies and ride them out. 😂. Revved up instantly, and then revved right back down to idle within a split second kind of like a street bike. And at idle, it sounded like a 350 cam out! It had a Borla exhaust. I bought it from an army guy in Virginia and towed it back to Connecticut. From what I was told it was a trail guide jeep from paragon State Park in Pennsylvania or something. Definitely the coolest out of the 5 xj/zj’s I’ve owned and still love them!! Love the content my friend!! The best I’d say!!
🔥 still got em?
I have two 4.6 strokers. Doesn't pop wheelies but they sure are fun!
its nice seeing dex working on something he isnt entirely familiar with
good job mr dex
Damn I love this channel
It lives finally!!!!
I was glued to the tv screen the entire video. Loved it!!!
Love the Jeep content and definitely have learned a lot since I found your page.. I know I would also appreciate some bouncer content as well.. I just enjoy it all reall learning,xjs, dirt bikes, four wheelers, bouncers, side by sides…either way keep up the good work sir appreciate everything ya post
Iridium plugs have more resistance similar to a old style filament light bulb, it may run but it works the coil harder and at higher rpm it may not provide enough energy to get a full burn and sometimes it burns them out quicker, i do enjoy the vids keep em coming they are fun cheers
Excited to hear this bad boy!
At the 20-minute mark, my anxiety was killin' me.
Built a 4.2 Ford motor 2 years ago with a cheap eBay rebuild kit been running great
Are those motors junky? I just got given an f150 eith one and i wanna get some opinions on it
@@cantsneedgaming4591 definitely not a power house and not very fuel efficient. But with the 5 SPD it pulls my jeep or my Colorado no problem. Its a great running engine and very easy and cheap to keep going
The junkyard jeep is a freakin death trap lmao
Honestly that thing is one of the better junk yard transport vehicles I’ve seen. I once road in a sedan with no rear end. So just 2 tires and the back just slid on the ground. And it had no doors. And he filled the tank with a 5 gallon bucket. Gas was all over the back of the car haha.
All Jeeps are lmao
@@NickMango glad you survived lol
@@ShaunHensley ya know what... That's fair. Only accident I've ever been in was a roll over in an XJ. I own one now.
Higher the number the leaner the mix I believe?
Always comforting that you get anxious starting these things too
That’s awesome! Great work guy’s!
Mark had me cracking up, good addition too this video haha
I thought the only folks who ran concrete into drains were bitter renters lashing out at their landlords ;-)
Ive built thousands of engines over the years and have never not been a nervous wreck on that first start up. Never had an issue but theres a first time for everything. It makes it worse when im working on engines that can cost up in the hundreds of thousands of dollar range as well. lol.
It sounds really good have you seen the stroker Matt’s off-road uses in his Cherokee
The valve cover is actually pretty good. I wonder if they would sell a lot of them. Great job. It sounds good.
24lb injectors are perfect for a 4.7 but if you're catless watch out for lean mixtures at WOT. HPtuners can clean it up.
I can say from experience that header makes a difference in sounds compared to a traditional tri y.
I used a similar 6-1 header and cut the collector back till it would fit a 3" vband, that made a huge difference.
Yep small base circle cam is a thing. Necessary on most strokers to keep the tallest part of the lobes away from the rods…
This sounds absolutely beast mode.
If u used nonadjustable rollers they are supost to sound like an old sewing machine. That is what Zack at 505 Performance told me about my 4.9 stroker.
This video was awesome. Thank you for sharing. One thing to share, watching the motor oil geeks, and project farms channels has let me in on a couple things. #1 regular motor oil is just fine for the break in. #2 Rotella t4 15-40 in the 5 gallon jug is nearly just as cheap as the rural king 10-30 5 gallon bulk oil, and it has all of the zdp you could want without adding expensive smaller bottles of additives. Save money, use the t4.:) i love your channel. Real proof that you only need what you need between breakdowns. Thank you!
Filmed on 420 killed me lol
I was running 24lb 5.0 injectors also
And a little bit of sheen from ring material coming off as the rings seat in the bores is what you’re seeing, and is perfectly normal. It’s NOT babbit/ bearing material.
That is very true!
Super cool man can't wait to see it in that tj
😆😆😆
That lift looks sketchy as hell 😂😂😂 please don’t drop it I want to see it run.
Sweet
That engine looks beautiful, take it easy on her in the future will ya 😉
I bought a tool for measuring pushrods it's just like an adjustable pushrod you stick in there and I used it for measuring pushrods with harland sharp rockers on one of my 4.0s instead of using the measurements on the rod I used a digital caliper a bigger digital caliper than your standard size one but I used that to measure everything that felt easier. You can get magnum pushrods for these if you have enough clearance in the head. I bought this long itty bitty brushes on Amazon to clean pushrod holes because I noticed some new pushrods have crap in them. It sure is hard to get good parts nowadays you just can't trust things.
If you happen to read this do you have a video talking about your 5.2 aw4 swap in that tj? I'd like to know how you got that all working. I really like the aw4 I've played with them a lot and I've thought about doing a 5.9 in an xj and I'd want to use the aw4. I've also thought about a Toyota 2jz using the Lexus is300 Bell housing with the aw4 I actually looked into that a bit but I'm not sure it's my style the a340 version of the aw4 came in the automatic supras behind the 2jz. I have a 4.6 stroker in my main Cherokee.
That thing needs a turbo and some NOs
Put it in that really nice clean gold jeep you showed awhile back
What youre trying to say is it has a smaller base circle on the camshaft. You see that more on old school engines that have smaller cam bearings. Aftermarket blocks will usually have bigger cam journal bores. A bigger cam core will slow down the ramp rate of the lifter providing a longer lasting and more stable valve train.
😊😊😊😊love it.
as for the iridium plugs, my 4.0 refused to run right with them, went back to copper and no issues
Again I appreciate the fly wheel. My Jeep has been loving it. But now I’m tracing the dreaded oil pressure issue. 🤷♂️
Nice sounding engine! I’m curious to know what tune you’ll be running.
What weight oil is your preferred DD oil in a 4.0?
You know I love your vids, especially the last one hill banging, but that engine without motor mount supports is spooky as hell. To much with that nice engine on it.
😂😂😂😢
In for it!
Great video
Put your filter in a vise next time and then use your cutter to cut around the top spin the tool not filter
🔥🔥🔥
On my 2.3 run iridium plugs for 230,000 MI
Copper spark plugs don't last as long but burns better than other metals? But I'm not the internet!
Cool project and video! Any reason to use the WJ flex plate here instead of the stock XJ, any practical differences or just a matter of what you had available after selling the old one?
What cam did you instalon it 5.0?? sounds great !!!
Why wouldn't you mill the head down to raise compression???
Time to put it in the green jeep and hurt all kinds of feelings
Lmao "one foot half a foot.. 6 inches.. "
If it makes you more comfortable, do your own thing bro .
I could feel your tension. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Like your channel, really fun to watch but dude, your break-in procedure had me stressed! You guys running without an o2 sensor and also leaving some vacuum ports open made me nervous and worried about your stroker leaning out too much or running too rich which either one can damage the pistons.
Interesting that you guys run without an o2 sensor cause when mine got disconnected, it started to backfire, sputter and then die. Glad the vlavetrain tap went away...they say that bigger cams and roller rockers tend to be a bit more noisy. Did you get new lifters?
HELLO Mark!
Dex I own a 99 xj. First ever jeep!! Anyway. What's the best steering gear box to use? Mine leaks and is cutting in and out. I have a junk yard with another xj and Durangos and other vehicles. I think I heard Durangos fit. Is that true? Is that worth doing?
No the iriduim supposedly take more power to fire off but i think its BS
What about Pennzoil
17:31 me in my driveway alone
That lift is sketchy. Video is a blast.
Stroker VS LS which do you prefer and why? I’m going back and forth. Or putting a turbo on a 4.0?
What's one of those buggies cost to build
You need a tune so bad call flyin ryan in georgia
So whatever happened to this engine build?
15:40 Man tell me about it ! Nowdays i gotta worry and pick and choose my poison on the quality of parts dude, Its a shame man....
18:00 Yeah i've done that the 1st time i did a cam swap no too long ago ! I wasted almost 3 whole quarts of VR1 cause i forgot the drain plug 😆😆
Yeah that thing sounds sweet man ! You can tell how happy he is around the 51 minute mark with his lil grin dude :) Id be happy too ! But yeah the 6 to 1 header design will make it sound higher pitched ! I now run the header from American racing headers and it made my jeep sound more like a 6 cylinder over as the 2 piece manifolds made it sound more like a v8 and alot more lower pitched and mean sounding !
54:09 Really you cant preach religion on YT ? That's a damn shame !
59:09 Seems about right ? when i broke in my cam and rod bearings i really didnt get as much flake but rather it was like a very fine grit glitter !
Dex where is 52 at
Dex only you will no the answer to this 1991 4.0 jeep can you pull the motor trans and transfer case as a unit
Done it a few thousand times
@dexjs ok why you answering the trans pan bolts are stripped out thinking about up sizing them to 7mm they are 6 from factory is that a good idea
Do you do 52 engine
Hay does anybody know if I have to remove my crank shaft to replace my Thrust bearing in my 4.0 in line six
The increasing amount of shitty parts being sold today is eventually going to make me go postal
Why wouldn’t you put a hardened bag of concrete on there
You should have put a 318 in the jeep
What do you think about 52engine?
Why man uga-duga sparky plug??😳😳😳
So dex are u a new dad ?? If u don't mind me asking seen baby in back around
It’s a borrowed one!!
Hahaha Dex is so weird 😊
Do you know anyone who knows about 5.2 engine
What’s the question?
What this 📷 prov
It runs
👍🏻🇦🇺.
