This is the most comprehensive one I have seen so far! On my stock ride height 01, I used 2 small bottle jacks to push the front axle down for the oil pan to clear the pumpkin. It took me at least a day to think of that. There were a lot of videos on missing Axles and lifted jeeps, but nothing on stock ride height. I have shared the idea with a few people since then. Great video Dan! Thorough as always!

One thing to keep in mind if you're using an aftermarket oil pump. Some of the cheaper ones you buy online can have clearance issues with the crank counterweight. Had this happen where after installing it, awhile later we couldn't figure out why the crank couldn't make a full revolution. In other words, after you install an oil pump on one of these engines, check to see if you can rotate the crank a full revolution. LOL As always, awesome video Dan!

Did a HV HP oil pump on my 2001 XJ when I did rear main seal a few years back. My oil pressure hot at idle was down to about 25 lbs. After the HV HP pump it will maintain 55 lbs hot idle all day. Cold at 3/4 throttle, it will go to 75-80 lbs. Hot it will go to 65-75 lbs. I put in Scorpion 1.7 roller rockers, it's like a new truck. You can feel the HP and Tq difference, part throttle and full throttle. I have a bigger TB, with smooth spacer and returned the rest of the stuff, ( injectors, airbox ) back to stock. Stock thermostat, factory HD radiator and 3 fan electric fan set up. My fuel milage went back up from pig rich with the cold air mods and all that other junk. The factory computer doesn't like a lot of the performance mods, especially T-Stats and injector mods.

fn aya!!!! exactly what i needed this vid bad!! i developed a horrrendous tick one morning...i finally learned my RMS was leaking, and didnt know it. SO, down 2.5 qts of oil, and the rap, rap,rap started. Because the rap was the same timing as the crank, it had to be something underneath... I have yet to pull the oil pan to determine if it is a skirt fly off, or just rod bearings toast, or even non existant. RAP is noticable at all rpm's but much less at higher than 1800 rpm... replaced oil(again), but no metal flakes in previous oil, so i'm hoping for minimal scarring or cylinder damage. The things in your vid is exactly what i'm wanting to achieve once oil pan is off. I have a stock 97 4.0L w/266k orig miles on engine... guess it had to go sooner or later. I also recently replaced rocker arms and push rods, but no change in the RAP... but it does have better performance. No real nasty wear; just normal on the rockers... i would like to replace lifters as well, and i might just bite the big bullet and replace pistons only. depends on what i find after pan removal.. THANK YOU for this video. been searching pretty hard for just this type of repair.... Im a subscriber now!!!! Tedd. S.

For anyone running into the trouble I had on my OEM suspension ZJ: Drop the shocks from the upper mount and the sway bar links too so the whole front suspension can hang. Then get a helper to bounce on the wheel hub while you pull the oil pan out toward the rear. Same thing putting it back in, bounce that front axle. Due diligence with your jack stand positioning.

Gonna be doing a transmission gasket and filter and fluid change on my 91 XJ this week coming up. Also will be doing an oil pan gasket, rear mail seal, piston connecting rod bearings, oil pump and tube as well the following week. Then will be doing a head gasket and timing chain and gaskets and water pump and gasket and thermostat and valve cover gasket and exhaust and intake manifold gaskets. Is gonna be a big project. Going with all parts purchased from Rockauto. Some other parts too. Then transfer case fluid and both front and rear diff fluids. Exhaust system too because is missing CA CARB CAT and muffler and rear pipes too. Got the 91 XJ a year ago and haven't driven it since because a situation but now, is go time. The CARB CAT is gonna be only used during smog time, then take it off cause i dont want some low life stealing a $600 CAT. Also put a few killswitch.

Your suppose to offset the seal no more than about 3/8" then you use anerobic sealant on the machined cap ends, they tell you not to use silicone there because it can alter your bearing clearance but ppl seem to get away with it for the most part i guess as long as you have no leaks then all is good 👍

The question i cant get answered though is they give you the plastic shoehorn to avoid cutting the seal upon install but when you offset the seal there is no way to use it upon installion of the cap so your basically taking a chance of cutting the seal when you put the cap on! go figure

Drill on the shaft in a bucket of oil! This was a replacement pump and works on camshaft rotation, you can prime the oil pump by pulling the starter relay and cranking it over with the key. If it was a new engine build id definitely prime it in a bucket first.

Bearings don't have much bearing on oil pressure... Change the oil pump!

Is it worth putting in a high flow oil pump when doing this job? Or just replace with the regular volume pump?

Just curious, would you recommend a refresh on the engine like this, on a 96 ZJ with the 5.2? I’ve always been curious about the crank or connecting rod pistons that can be accesses with the oil pan removed.

another question: how did you manage to reinstall the oil pan with the pick up tube hooked up to the new oil pump ? When you removed the oil pan, you disassembled the pick up line from the oil pump to get enough clearance.

Very nice! I'm about to do the same to my xj....she's got some miles, and oil pressure has dipped over time. Just curious, have you replaced mains before in a similar fashion? I've seen people spin them in with the crank still in place, but it didnt seem like yours (at least #7) looked too bad.

I'm expecting some major issue when removing the oil pan due to having a non lifted stock XJ - any tips here ? Also: the Mahle part no for the bearings ? - Thanks pal !
