that really sucks. i just spent all this time reading this and now the motor is fubar. cant wait to see some trail pics

Ouch... tough break on that one Joe, but at least you have a spare, and it should be relatively easy to yard the old one out and drop the new one in place (I say relatively compared to an XJ or a stock YJ with fenders...

)

Yeah, not to bad of a job swapping the motors...I easily spent more time pulling the donor apart, replacing the head gasket, seals and switching all the accessories over. Anyway got it done today, must get to the trail head...
