There is a strong possibility I will be scoring a 4.0L Jeep I6. It has 190K miles but still smogs and runs like a champ.
But Id feel silly installing it without freshening it up at all, so, what are the high wear parts in a motor? Im thinking, new valve guides in the head (skipping the valve job), flex hone the cylinder and new rings, new crank and rod bearings, and a new timing chain.
Anything else? Im sure the lifters and bores will be fine, machine shops dont really even touch the lifter bores. But how about the cam bearings? I would think that they dont wear out nearly as fast since there isnt much rotating mass on a cam.
AND if anyone plans to lecture me about doing it once and doing it right, please also answer my question
