Old Engine Parts!
My 88 Yj has its original engine (2.5L) and all nothing has ever been
replaced. It gets about 8 mpg i had found that the header was loose and cracked if i replace it how much mpg improvement can i expect if any. And any sugjestions on what brand replacements are best? |
Re: Old Engine Parts!
So you are the person that asked about increasing the mileage eh?
You 'really' should have mentioned the Jeep was broken. 8 mpg is a seriously dead engine. If you use a light foot and stay under 70 mph, you should at least get as good a mileage as my 86 CJ7 with the 258 6 cylinder engine. I get 23 US mpg. After you repair the header, I recommend an oil and filter change, new plugs, distributor cap, rotor, air filter, fuel filter and plug wires. Then come back and ask the question again after checking the mileage.
