Bought the same jeep, the same year, same color, same 4.0. Your Videos are a gold mine of information for me. Thanks.

[@hayzersolar]

I'm picking up a 96 xj on Sunday that has a timing chain slip. getting it for 600$ decent shape so your video on timing is awesome thanks

[@edwardp4417]

Really interested in seeing how you paint the jeep! I'm going to be doing some paint in the new few months.

[@JeepSolid]

Yeah. I’ll probably put it up for a vote on the color

[@riclopez1627]

Great videos mate. You always seem to answer the questions Im thinking of about 3 seconds after 👍🏽

[@Offroad_Josh]

Thank you for the detailed explanation!

[@Snowcrazyification]

Thanks for the great info!

[@carlosg3670]

bro I have a question 🙋‍♂️, can u please tell me if it’s the same process on jeep yj 1990 4.2? 🙏

[@dakotajohmson6506]

What if you have a coil pack

[@lockstherapy8627]

😊

[@davidgomez3737]

Would i have to top dead center it twice or just once when im doing pushrods

[@jeepxj1434]

Hey my jeep was running good at first start up and after a bit it started acting up and don't know what to do any way to send you a video for your input

[@goingfastdraggina7167]

Will a 98 engine have the numbers on the block as well?

[@kedjrbris]

I just replaced my 4.0 in my 91 YJ with a reman long block but when I bring it up on top dead center watching the piston come up on the compression stroke when it gets to the top the timing mark still needs about 45 degrees to go to get to the mark on the crank pully why is this ???

[@sjwalker5696]

Are the points supposed to be open or closed at top dead center let me know thank you

[@dkhallal]

So I’m trying to decipher if when you are at TDC on compression stroke, should the timing gear marks/dots be lined up/facing each other and the distributor be pointing to cylinder 1? I’m in the middle of replacing my gears and chain on my 4.2 l on my 89 YJ. I had replaced the old distributor a while back with and HEI system and wonder if we put it in 180 when we did it. Is that possible, would it even run? Right now when I have the timing gear marks lined up facing each other, at what I think is TDC compression stroke, the distributor is pointing 180 away from cylinder 1 (don’t remember what is).

Did you get an answer? I have same question.
