- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ต.ค. 2024
- The transformation is complete. The tired old 4.0L straight-6 engine out of our 1993 Jeep Cherokee (XJ) is now a 4.6L stroker. Davin wraps up assembly on the project. Just one more step remains... getting it back in the Jeep and driving down the road!

![We Put All the Tricks into Newcomer Racing's Big Power Jeep Engine Build [Dyno Surprise]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/YWcZMjA7ZgQ/mqdefault.jpg)
I think we're all hoping for a bench start or engine dyno run. Nice series.
Right as most of us would rather fix whatever we did wrong with the engine out of the vehicle, not after installation!
Yeah, since he souped it up, how about some numbers ? C'mon Davin !!
He always teases before the dyno
Dyno please.
Looks fantastic, minus the fram filter lol
The internet hates Fram, don’t they? 😂
I saw that orange on there and cringed!
I've had a few of them where the filter material came apart inside...
@@TML34 for good reasons!
It's probably fine for 30 minutes of break-in.
My thoughts too, those engines are probably strong enough to run with half the block missing but still, it is cringe
I can't wait to hear this engine rumble! Great work Davin, keep it up. Thanks for sharing these tips and tricks even though they are "sponsored"!
Jeep I6's are always a good looker! 😊❤️
Definitely going to need a cost breakdown when you're done
For something like the oil pan, I take a piece of cardboard and push the bolts into an outline of the oil pan. Makes reinstalling very easy.
That felpro one piece gasket for these is an absolute must. I used one on my AMC 258 CJ-7 build and it is 100% seep and drip free. That gasket is about 30 bucks. Don't cheap out on that one.
Probably the best most clean rebuilds possible.
The trick of taping the sockets to the extensions works great for spark plugs that are deep inside of the cam cover or cylinder head. Those sockets love to stick to the spark plugs and pull off the extension.
😂 a magnetic socket helps too.
I just tack welded some extensions to a set of plug sockets. Have a regular set and a long set.
I’d go magnetic any day. I used tape once and the plug got stuck (my own fault obviously). Magnetic if you’re an idiot like me :)
Devin that extension nut was hell of a tip in itself. Also the oil pressure check with battery drill awsome man you are a legend .
That paint is so fresh it seems like I can smell it and I'm thousands of miles away.
Maybe also install DEI injector heat shield. Helped on our '99 4.0 XJ.
We love your videos. Only ones f their kind. Many, infinite automotive videos online but none like yours. 👍
Those 4.0L engines are torque monsters stock in the Grands at 4.6 and a nicely balanced rebuild it'll challenge many V8s.
Nice rebuild Davin. Cheers 🇨🇦
Can't wait for a full time lapse of the full tear down and build.
Wowser
Awesome. She's a beauty! The later distributor is a nice upgrade as the sensor is easily replaced.
Always great to see the "poor man's stroker" builds! Fun to watch you do this! I did notice however you hadn't mentioned that head bolt #11 goes into the water jacket and requires thread sealant and only gets 100 lbs/ft torque versus all the rest getting 110 lbs/ft torque. It seems trivial but many many years ago I discovered a leak from having forgotten that very important task. Can't wait to hear yours when it's done!
I love these videos. Thanks for producing them.
Wow this sure is eye candy stunning looking engine, congratulations Best 4.0/4.6 I have ever seen done.
Oil pressure sensors don’t tend to “go bad” as often as they plug up…I’ve cleaned many of them only to have them work, clog up, clean up and work.
You know, relative to the industry, I’d say Davin is the best!!!
Thats a beauty. Maybe replace the generic fill cap on the valve cover with something more eye catching
Another tip of the day for a 9/16 hex take a 5/16 bolt and double nut the threaded end and an instant hex tool at no cost
I miss my 91 xj…😭😭
Love the fact you don't shy away from injection.. Sure It doesn't have old school cool, but it still does a really good job, and in a mostly OE setup, perfectly fine(perfectly fine in all other setups so longer as your tuner can use them)
As Always , Great Job Davin !!!!!
I have really enjoyed this build. I really like that you are using all OEM parts!!
That’s the nicest looking Jeep 6 I’ve ever seen. Great work.
Nice looking engine! Looks like it just rolled off the assembly line
It is always good to see when people take pride in their work.
My 258 1990 amc needs some love❤
Truly Magical 👍 Love your work & Presentation.
The editors & Camera guys need a Big 👏🏼 and the set is to die for !
No clutter or distraction from the beautiful work
Congrats from the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Soon as I saw the drill, I knew the tape was coming. Great job, beautiful engine.
I absolutely love a six cylinder and this one is a real stunner!
That in one good looking motor - nice job!
For those large "Allen bolts" I've used a bolt with nut welded on the end plenty of times.
Stab the distributor at TDC, I think that’s where he was going.
Also, one could use a 9/16” bolt and nut in place of a hex key.
Locking extension may have been helpful? But always good to be extra sure too instead of tearing it apart to fish out a dropped socket/tool. Craftsman does have them and surely you have a few in the massive tool set they helped set you up with. I have them myself so I know they exist.
Heay David
just another beauty from your hand got to say it
many things on it makes it nice to look at
from the gray lines on the top cower to the blue oil-pan gasket
but nothing stands more out then the golden freeze plugs
it just teels you that it is all rebuild
Best regards
from little Denmark
was with y`a from the start
learning somthing every time 😉
THIS MAN IS A GANGSTER. GREAT MECHANIC.
Seeing this run will be a lot of fun.
Best mechanic ever💪🔥
Outstanding. Looking sharp. Jealous of you being able to run the oil pump without having to turn the crank!
I put the distributor on wrong in the first engine I ever worked on too. A little 1256cc 4 cylinder. I was so frustrated that I just changed the firing order for the plugs. It took a bit of figuring out, but I got it to work.
I always try an run a real off road oil pan and pick up also roller rockers I heard go very well with 4.2 liter jeep motors an when you prime the engine I always leave valve cover off an rotate engine a quarter turn till back to zero an watch an if oil is going thought rockers OK 👍 😎
Loving this build!! Making me think my '93 2-door XJ Sport needs a similar upgrade when the time comes. Only 156K on it so far, and it purrs along well for now. But in the future..........
156K? It's a baby!
I like the red assembly lube better because you're better able to see what's been done.
Man, I love that engine!
beautiful work as always you guys! cant wait for the fire up!
What truly impressed me was that you were using a speed wrench 🔧and not the cordless drill. Like my Kids!!! I try and teach them a little Old School 🏫 but there all about saving a second. Looking good 👍👌. I'm also betting it's in Time ⏲️. God Bless and stay safe 🙏
A 3/8ths by 1 1/2 with two nuts jammed up works also, if you can't find your 9/16ths allen. Same with a 1/4 x 1 1/2 for the older GM disc brakes, for when a 7/16ths wasn't around.
6:00 there are socket sets with anti FOD locks (foregin object damage/debris), that you have to push to release (not just spring backed ball). Pricier, but fishing out socket from the engine is no fun.
Awesome as always! Little suggestion for a later episode: Why not do an Honda N600 engine, aircooled twin cylinder inspired from a motorcycle. The N600 was the first car Honda sold in the USA. Keep up the good work!
Speaking of dud sensors, had a car come in with a gauge tee'd into the pressure sensor hole and it kept dropping off at random. Put on a regular test gauge and the pressure was excellent. Ran it with the aux gauge and realised that whoever had installed it had somehow connected power via the second cooling fan relay and when the temp went up or turned the AC on the fan kicked in and sapped the power reading for the gauge.
little known fact, the engine doesn't actually have to be running to check the timing with a light.. I always check by cranking with no fuel, people think its magic when the engine fires perfectly the first time.. the reason it's so easy to get 180 out is because most camshafts are installed TDC at overlap between intake and exhaust and ignition needs to be TDC on compression.. put your finger over the #1 spark plug hole if you can and turn it till you feel compression, then find TDC..
looks like a brazilian GM Opala engine, chevy 250s, big bore, big displacement and a lot of torque
It looks great. Can't wait to see it running. It's going to be fun.
It's a beautiful thing!
Interesting pre lube with the drill. Never saw that before, but I don't build engines either.
Lube the videos, awesome work Redline rebuilds!
I'm a Jeep hater at heart but its hard to deny the stoutness of the jeep straight 6's
Can confirm those oil pressure sending units are known to fail. I've also heard that some of them are "real" and some of them are "fake". Meaning that some report the actual pressure and others act more like an idiot light that fakes the gauge. That might just be a TJ thing though..?
I need that engine for my suzuki grand vitara
The toughest of the tough, those inline AMC/Jeep engines - and this one is probably one of the prettiest
(yes *Davin* , I said pretty :-) ) I've ever seen.
I can't figure out why the build is dragging out so much on it, though - shorter episodes this time seems like?
Then it occurred to me that perhaps having an official sponsor might have something to do with it?
No matter, we'll take our *Davin* any way we can get him.
*Best show on Hagerty!*
- Ed on the Ridge
It's like a USB2 plug. There's 2 ways it can go in but somehow the first time you try it's always wrong. Good old Murphy. 🤣
Holy s#!t, Davin, you got a lot done. That engine is lookin' sweet!✌❤🙂🇨🇦
FUEL INJECTORS?!? That part that's been commonly available on vehicles for the last 40+ years? That's some wild stuff right there. Don't get too carried away.
It's absolutely amazing how many car shows are out there still bagging on EFI and acting as if it's some sort of black magic voodoo. I'm past 50 and I'd MUCH rather deal with EFI over a carby any day of the week. Every argument out there against EFI is old, weak, and almost always bull. FIGGER IT OUT - It's the 21st century already.
The only question I have is, did you goop up the front driver side stud on the engine at the engine (I believe it's commonly considered the #11 fastener in the torque sequence)? That's an open hole to the water jacket. If you don't put some Permatex or some kind of sealant there, it will leak.
Super kanał aż miło się ogląda jak składasz te silniki jest moc pozdrowienia z Polski😉👍
Great build, finally an inline 6. I still can't understand the fascination people have with painting engines black (unless you absolutely have to rebuild to OEM specs). Black makes it very difficult to find any leaks early enough to correct them before they create a mess.
The engine setup up looks incredible! I can’t wait to hear this torque monster fire up! I have always enjoyed all of y’all’s videos.
im surprised you used the clay method rather than the dial indicator touching rocker/valve stem method.
also, where do you find a double roller timing chain?
and is there any adhesive for the freeze plugs or do you need to leave them in the freezer overnight?
Can't wait for the final video and startup !
This is a long time coming. M539 had an engine out, rebuilt and installed in 2 episodes!
Great looking engine!!
Looks great and can't wait to hear it run!! :)
Couple things, did you check the lifter preload since you shaved the deck down quite a bit and head? Also im pretty sure the front head bolt outside the valve cover needs sealant and doesnt get torqued as much as the others.
We put sealer on it! Davin is good about knowing which bolts go into the water jacket!
oh no, wrong.. it goes in my Cherokee .. ENJOYED
If that's a Fram oil filter, it'll need a rebuild next week..... as a mopar technician, every single blown engine I pull, with about a 99.9% replication rate, has a Fram oil Filter on it......
Run a Wix or the Mopar Brand (also wix or Purolator) ..... 🤷♂️
i'm surprised you didn't use the newer higher flowing intake on it???
my dream engine
Id be curious to see what kind of power this would make on an engine dyno.
I wish they had some sort of before and after comparison. That would be great info to have.
awesome set of videos! any idea of the horsepower it makes?
Um, pretty sure a socket with 9/16 Allen bit in the end is well below $30 to buy. And then probably half that again to buy in America rather than this side of the globe.
Nice solution, but seriously could have easily got the correct tool and then torque to spec properly.
P.S super looking forward to the first start up.
Why not dyno test it ? To see if the up grades and changes made helped any ? Just curious.
I would guess it's due to the complexity of running an EFI engine without the vehicle. You'd need a high pressure fuel system, and a standalone EFI controller and harness to do it. Not a cheap or simple task.
@@jimt9661 Thank you. That makes sense.
also, for the higher volume injectors does that require a different pressure regulator, fuel pump or computer programming?
mines a 95 model, so its OBD1. not sure you can flash that computer or do anything with it
Looks great

Nice man. How come you didn't put on the 2001 HO intake?
Did you add a larger duration camshaft to make up for the .6 liter bump? The stock cam might prove to be a bit small with the larger engine capacity.
I think Delta Cam sponsored him. I wish they would say what they had sent him for this Jeep stroker. I'm sure Delta Cam has a grind number that matches this kind of 4.6 build really well.
Why was the bare top end blurred out when you rolled it over on the stand?
Why not use the 2000+ intake manifold?
Did Devin change assembly lube for the top end? Also, awesome tip on the tape/socket hack!
Where is the Late Model Intake for the large plenum and did you bore out the throttle body?
I got a question how come you didn't put roller rockers and lifters in
I'd go for a better head before a stroker kit myself
Davin... do an LS please
i mean... ya you can do it, but for a little bit more you could just do an ls swap, get tons more hp, and have decades of after market support for making it even better.
i appreciate your skills and knowledge, but i just wonder why bother? dropping a v8 in is clearly the better option.
Do all your viewer's have to put up with that BONGO MUSIC 🎶 NOIZE ?
440cc = 42lbs for fuel injectors - same as wrx model .
Fantastic
