1997 Jeep TJ (Wrangler)
2.5 liter 4 cylinder
~ 200,000 Kilometers
My engine is on it's way out (oil pressure is practically non-existent now). I am looking at replacing the engine because shop time to find and/or repair the problem would be equal to or greater than just getting a new engine and doing a re/re (mechanic's quote).
Mostly, I am curious. Would it be recommended to replace with new, or used? The shop I have spoken with so far has found 2 different engines (used), both with different oil pressures.
I have looked all over the WWW to find manufacturer's oil specs for this particular 2.5 liter engine, but so far have been unsuccessful.
**If I could find out the spec for oil pressure @ idle and at higher RPM, it would be much appreciated. I could then compare these to the specs on the engines the local shop has found.**
While I'm at it. One other question:
Rather than sticking with the 2.5 liter engine, if I were to swap it for a 4.0 liter instead, would this be a major expense (comparatively speaking), or can it be easily done?
Thanks for any info.
