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.

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 👍

Great job and best tutorial again ! How many miles on your engine ? Mine has 187K and I plan the connecting rod bearing-project soon. 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 !
