02 4.0 Main Seal Leak?
hi All,
My 02 TJ developed a leaky main seal after the Oil pan had to be replaced
due to a mishap with a rock.
I just had the dealer repair the leak and the next day it is leaking again.
I have heard rummers that once the 4.0 starts leaking, it never stops.
Is this true? if now, how do I ensure it stops. I am going to give the
dealer one more shot (hey i paid my deductable they may as well fix it).
After that I am going to do it myself.

Hi John,
Have them fix your valve cover, too. Wipe the rear of your head to
confirm.

Re: 02 4.0 Main Seal Leak?
The valve cover is actually nice and tight.
That was redone 25,000 miles ago when the head cracked.
By the way, it only has 57000 on it now.
I will keep you posted.
