I bought a engine stethoscope and I isolated the noise to the front bottom of the engine. I pulled the timing crap out again and nothing, but I was a tooth off somehow. Put it back together and same shit. One of the many things I've read is a bad harmonic balancer. The timing marks match up perfect though.

Boost, because sometimes atmospheric pressure just isn't enough.

My harmonic balancer is taking a shit. The rubber is starting to come out the sides. I don't know how I never noticed that, especially since Ive pulled it off a few times now. Plus my serpentine belt has had a slight squeak to it, and now I know why. Before I buy a new one, anyone have a good one I can swap in really quick? The 4.0 and 2.5 use the same one, but it has to be a Tj.

Did you replace the timing chain?

New chain and sprockets as well as a tensioner.

If you listen to the timing cover, does it sound like the noise is coming from there?

I can hear it there but it's much louder on the bottom of the cover where the oil pan bolts to it.

To me from that video it sounds like a rod knock.

That's what I thought too at first but the oil pan is metal shavings free. I'm going to get a new balancer tomorrow and see how that goes.

Pulled the motor in the Jeep today, found all the rod bearings were shot. Crank was unharmed thankfully. The standard bearings were too loose, took some measurements and got the right ones. Plasti gauged everything and it's right. Should have the motor back in tomorrow. I don't understand it though, I tried the .010" the first time and they were way too tight, now they work perfect. Maybe they were the wrong size in the packages I got??
