Re: Help! doing the 4.0 head swap on a 258!
Yep! Needed shorter pushrods. I had Crower check it all out and they made me
a set. Fortunately for me the Crower factory is here in the great shitty of San Diego. Those guys were great. I'd recommend them to anyone. They hooked me up with a solid lifter and an adjustable pushrod. I took it home adjusted to fit and then took the whole shooting match back with a hydraulic lifter from the Jeep. They measured me up and the next day I had new rods. The day after that I dislocated my shoulder and the whole project was put on hold until I could work on it again. Well I ran out of time so my wife torqued the head down (what a woman!, NO head jokes please) for me and I got the whole thing together 3 days ago. The Jeep now runs like a raped ape! I HIGHLY recommend this mod. Mileage seems to have improved, but it is a bit early to tell on that, and tomorrow I'm going to wean back down to regular pump gas and see if the detonation comes back. I expect it won't, but we'll soon see. So what was wrong? Rebuilt head plus rebulit block equals shorter pushrods. bottom line. -- Rich Harris :1986 CJ7, Detroits F/R, 4:10's, 33"BFGMT's, Mopar F/I, 4.0L head, Rubicon Express 2.5" Wrangler springs, Procomp MX6 Shocks, and a bunch more fun stuff.
