Jeep Liberty Engine Rebuild

Did you know that the Jeep Liberty came from the factory in the US with a diesel engine? Sure was! They were supplied in 2005-2006 with a VM Motori Common Rail Diesel (known as the CRD) motor. These are awesome little motors. We had a 2006 Jeep Liberty CRD come in with a bad motor. Luckily it also came with another motor pulled from the junkyard. So the plan is to rebuild the one from the junkyard, then swap it in the Jeep. Check it out as we re-assemble the junkyard motor and get it ready with some much needed maintenance and upgrades!

The rockers need to go in AFTER you place the intake/camshaft housing gasket on the cylinder head. Fortunately you have great video editing skills! Thank you for the video!

Can't say I've ever heard of the turbo being fault prone.

What did you guys do for break in procedure? I don't have a trailer on hand to create good load so im looking at loading the trunk with stuff and putting it in low gear for some hill driving

[@rogermulenga6295]

hello how are you? please please please please help me! I am in the process of overhauling my Jeep KJ 2.8 CRD 2003 engine. I lost sight of the fact that it was necessary to make marks before removing the distribution belt! I don't know how to find the point of the engine without a reference. I searched and asked everywhere and didn't get a positive answer. can you help me please! You're welcome. thanks in advance

What was the specific that manual? And where can I get one? Haynes only do the petrol engine versions for wrangler and liberty. Same engine in the Cherokee and grand voyager and wrangler of the same vintage?

Hello, I have a Jeep KJ 2.8 CRD. Can you recommend a place where I can buy the parts?

[@danielvillanueva8075]

I was hoping to learn something but everything was was fast forward. I guess I do have to buy the book. 😅

It is known that the stock head bolts suck. Why didn't you use the ARP kit?

[@nostalgen13]

The bolts are brand new units, and the arp ones were out of stock when I was getting everything ordered.

[@dejanmeki]

y should have gone with bigger turbo and intercooler to get 300-350hp
