V8 5,2L Engine on Grand Cherokee '97
 

Hi,

I own a Grand Cherokee V8 5,2L engine. I've got 60,000 Miles. I'd like to
know how much miles this kind of engine could do, because I've heard so many
things on the engine fiability ?
It won't prevent me to cruise in Jeep, even if in France the gas liter is
around 1 Euro (US $ 1.25 per liter ----> US$ 4.75 per US Gallon !!!!!!!!)
Hi from french friend

Hello from the U.S. and welcome to the newsgroup.

Might want to add the year of your Jeep.

The 5.2 is a strong engine and should last a long time. The only maintenance
it will require is the timing chain and that has a service interval of 200,000
Miles ( 321,869 Km). Just remember to change the oil every 3000-4000 miles
and it will last a long time. The number one cause of engine failure is
dirty oil.

Here is what one person did to their ZJ.

Some other project sites
http://www.bierpub.com/jeep.php
http://jeepin.com/features/fipk/index.asp

The 93 5.2 suffered from a intake problem. The intake runner
on the throttle body restricted airflow. This was corrected in
94.

A good site with many links.

Re: V8 5,2L Engine on Grand Cherokee '97
 

this is a l960's chrysler engine....designed when Chrysler was not Krylser.
The dummies didn't know where to put the distributor, or the oil filter, but
other than that, it seems to be quite reliable and trustworthy.....good

Re: V8 5,2L Engine on Grand Cherokee '97
 

The 318" was used between '57 and '67 to be exact. The distributor
and pump are driven off the rear of the cam, just like the Chevys:
http://www.allpar.com/mopar/318.html It's a very good engine, just too
small.

Re: V8 5,2L Engine on Grand Cherokee '97
 

The 318" was used between '57 and '67 to be exact. The distributor
and pump are driven off the rear of the cam, just like the Chevys:

small.

Well, there's two versions of the 318. The '57 to '67 version is based
(I think) on the Plymouth Polyspherical V8 of the 1950s and early 1960s.

It is substantially different from the one used after 1967, which is a
bored out 273 of 1964, known far and wide as the small block Mopar. This
273 (A block ?) was the basis of the post 1967 318, 340 and 360, and is
the engine on which the modern 5.7 in the Grand Cherokee and other
Chrysler trucks is based.

It was used in millions of Darts, Valiants, Volares, Aspens, Polaras,
Monacos, Furys, LeBarons, 5th Avenues, and the rest of Chrysler's later
rear wheel drive cars. It is indeed a good engine, equivolent in most
ways to the Small Block Chevy.

Does that make sense Bill?

Re: V8 5,2L Engine on Grand Cherokee '97
 

I'm not sure. You've got the 318" came along first and was
destroked 273. the 326" which you didn't mention is a completely
different block along the other early blocks, that look much larger.
Don't let the reversal of the chart's bore and stroke fool you. And
remember the 360" used the Cherokee Wagoneers is AMC. And the site's not
mentioning their completely different 383" 426" and 440".
