Soak the new chain in oil for at least a few hours. If you just put the chain on without doing that it can wear the new chain in short order. If I'm going to do a timing chain,I soak it overnight if possible and move it around to work the oil into the chain links.
I don't always like watching videos where the engine is easily accessible. I want the person making the video to suffer at least at much as I do when getting to those awkward bolts.
Ha! I should film myself suffering under my car tomorrow. Gotta take the bumper off, drop the subframe, remove coolant hoses, just to be able to get to two fucking bolts to remove the lower wishbones. British engineering at its finest.
I think for long term TJ survival we all going to need some options for replacement motors and transmissions at some point. So this will probably be the future of a lot of TJ’s.
Great video again Jerry . I'm sure this will help someone out that needs to replace the timing set on their Jeep 4.0. Give some belly rubs to Tomcat for me . Take care my friend .
Hola. Thanks alot for your videos we really aprecciate your work. I have one question: how often do you sugest to change a timing belt?? i know some people says ... `dont touch it untill it gives you problems`. But, im about to change the seal of the cover and i would like to take advantage of that and change the timing belt. Gracias
One of the best videos on the Jeep xj's I have come across on TH-cam. Thank you sir. R u the fellow with the f beer can in ur f hand In the other f videos ? Sounds like it.
SOMEBODY PLEASE ANSWER. I took apart a 4.0l from a 1996 cherokee today. After I removed the cam sprocket I noticed a large hole behind the sprocket that exposed the cyl 1 rod. I read several forms and most of them say that's normal, but i'm not completely sure
So the timing marks °, from cam & crank line up like % ? I'm swapping my 4.0 block to a 4.6 performance street stroker. It's a 4.0 punched and over bored, with good things inside. Ty for the video
Is there any spring and small bearing in the middle of the Nut for the larger geared sprocket is the timing chain. I have a bearing I can push in and not sure about taking it off
Hello I have a question. I have a 98 grand Cherokee Laredo and have a crank no start situation. I had to replace my pcm because they suck for this model, ( lose power while driving, lights go out at night usually when a cop is behind me, and would spontaneously go into drive). So I replaced but now it cranks but won't start. I've replaced crankshaft position sensor, and the camshaft sensor. Then replaced the distributor both rotor and cap. Still cranks no start but would backfire while turning over. This tells me timing problem. Would it backfire if the chain slipped off or has way too much play in it?
Watching another video on a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 4.0 the guy had mentioned there was two different ways you can set up the timing marks for that particular engine, just wondering if in your opinion that's true ?
I know this is late, but for anyone else who may find it... when setting up the timing chain on the Jeep 4.0 and 2.5, you want to set the marks facing each other with the top side of the chain tight. If the top side is loose, you're risking a slightly retarded camshaft.
just be mindfull of dropping chunks of mud into the front exposed bit of oil pan.. could wash my jeep for a week straight and itll still rain mud whenever a bolt/part is removed
he did not torque the timing gear bolt and that timing chain had as much slack as the old one he took out , i just put a new one in mine and it is tight on both sides of the chain ! , he must of used the old gears !
Can having that much play affect starting your car up, I have replaced my camshaft and crank shaft position sensor and still on some days it will not start and some days it will
There is supposed to be a tensioner bolted to the bottom side of the block on the right (passenger) side that keeps the chain tight on the bottom side. This engine is completely missing the tensioner.
WTH so no specific torque required on the crank bolt? Just tighten it down and run it come on man, for someone never having done this and follows word for word what is shown this is a poor explanation on How To!

Lave the cover loose. install the the balancer. the seal will center the cover. Otherwise you risk a leak.....

You will be suffering when you do the fuel pump in your Jeep
@@JimGriffOne That's why it's best to stay American, especially from the 90's, with Jeeps....
😂😂😂
@@TestDontguess eh it’s side mounted on my xj and my mj, after doing it a couple times I could probably do a fuel pump in 15 minutes
Thanks for all your Jeep videos. I’m going to miss the 4.0 stuff but also interested in the LS conversation.
This is why I tried to cover as much as I could on the 4.0 before it was gone forever

Thanks brother just overhualed my 05 tj your videos have helped thanks again

He gets lots of belly rubs he’s very spoiled
Good video , I can't figure out why some other videos have too long of a intro not even related to subject
Much better video
Sei un genio!! Grazie per il tuo video!!
Thank you. That was very helpful.
Hi there! What are the sympthoms of a tired timing chain ? Any external noise , or shal I just replace on certain mileage? Great vid !
My rotor button pointed at number 3 when I lined the marks up what should I

UMMM NOT an XJ,,, it's a TJ but the motor is the same.
never seen the oil slinger for the crank be installed
Reflection on your glasses freaked me out
does this replacement also transfer over to the replacement for the grand cherokee 97?
Awesome thanks
Mil gracias... Más claro no pude encontrar....
I was replacing my timing chain. Was tightening the cam bolt, it moved 3 teeth and is off now. How do I make timing right again. Btw, it’s a WJ
Question: piston as far firing order should up on 1 as you line up timing marks? Thanks
That new chain seems pretty sloppy. Is that normal?
Awesome

Question
My Jeep cranks but will not start after I replaced the timming chain what else can it be
Did it start before you decided to do the timing chain ?
BSK Garage yes

Just wondering and hope you see this, did you ever get it figured out?
Some segments in the video are stamped not adjacent to each other
I know this was a part two video. Was the noise actually from the timing chain then?
Nice
What's the mileage for chain the timing chain on this vehicle?? the 4.0 engine 6 cylinders
Is the timing chain supposed to be loose?
When was the oil slinger deleted?

Do you drain the oil? Is there engine oil in there?
No need to drain oil
just be mindfull of dropping chunks of mud into the front exposed bit of oil pan.. could wash my jeep for a week straight and itll still rain mud whenever a bolt/part is removed
New chain looks just as loose as old one
Thank you, very very helpful!!!
he did not torque the timing gear bolt and that timing chain had as much slack as the old one he took out , i just put a new one in mine and it is tight on both sides of the chain ! , he must of used the old gears !
what type of impact drill is that
Can having that much play affect starting your car up, I have replaced my camshaft and crank shaft position sensor and still on some days it will not start and some days it will
Angel F have you tried the ECM?
What if it jumped timing ?
Is there any way to adjust the chain tightness, aside from adding and removing links?
Nope
There is supposed to be a tensioner bolted to the bottom side of the block on the right (passenger) side that keeps the chain tight on the bottom side. This engine is completely missing the tensioner.
I was shocked at the amount of play only after a few years in the rig. Interesting.
I know right
I cant get my Mark's to line up at all
If your chain has skipped a tooth will the timing marks still line up and do you have to put the engine to tdc before you start?
Can a broken chain get into oil pan
Happened to me once with a 98 TJ, absolute nightmare
No torque wrench?
Use a torque wrench if you wish
WTH so no specific torque required on the crank bolt? Just tighten it down and run it come on man, for someone never having done this and follows word for word what is shown this is a poor explanation on How To!
Your lack of critical thinking is not my problem
@@TestDontguess True Forget what I said
Did not take very long
