Well, thanks to all that contributed! I have attached a few images in an attempt to illustrate what i ended up doing. A brief narrative was provided in my 5-21 post. Hopefully the pictures will clarify that explanation...

Thanks DANDOC! I will keep a close eye on it. FYI, I did get the spare mounted on the stock mount. I had to shift the tire up about an inch on the mount to get it to clear the bumper, so i had to fabricate a bracket to make it work. It really was very simple (used some plate stock aluminum...

Thanks JEEPIN916 and JEEPSTER357. Appreciate the feedback! I'll let you know how it turns out!

Alright - fair enough... I'll post a couple once I get it out of the garage. Thanks

Well, I finished it this evening - the engine from Powersource is in and it fired right up! I went through the initial run-in and all checks out. Thanks to all of you who answered my various questions along the way. It is much appreciated!!!

Cool, thanks BOUNTY_HUNTER. All you guys are great! I appreciate the help. I'll let you know how it all goes. I should be able to get to it this evening... :-)

Thanks REDWRANGLER02, WM69 AND BOUNTY_HUNTER. Those are great options. Based on your input, I think i will try to hang the wheel on the tailgate and watch closely. The brackets you mentioned on ebay REDWRANGLER02 look like they would work - and it is a pretty low-cost option. If i had a...

YJDAVE, Great thanks, that was what I was hoping to hear. I am positive I got the ditributor lined up properly for cyl #1 TDC, so now that I know I dont need to worry about running around trying to adjust the timing right after startup, while making sure the oil pressure is up, I feel much...

Thanks again MUD4FEET. Yeah, I do have a bolt and clamp at the base of the distributor, but you cannot turn it (the distributor) because it is designed to lock into a specific position (there is a guide-hole on the flange of the distributor that the clamping screw fits into - you simply...

Thanks DANDOC and MUD4FEET. The price of the bumper-mounted spare carrier is what gives me some pause as well. I think I may try to mount the wheel on the tailgate and watch it closely. Also, I may mount it such that the wheel just rests on the bumper (may be a little tough to close the...

I just put some 32's on my 94YJ and they look great. I have 5 so I was going to put the 5th on the tailgate. I know it wont fit the stock bracket, so i was considering geting the extender. However, after mounting these tires on all four wheels i realied how much heavier than the stock wheels...

OK, I have finished putting in the reman engine in my 1994 YJ (thanks for those of you who have answered my questions along the way - it really has been helpful!!!). I have primed the engine with oil (drill and a long screwdriver), cylinder number one is set a TDC, the distributor is installed...

60 Biscayne and Heydace - thanks! As it turns out, Jeep does sell the sleeve. You just need to find the right parts guy. After calling around a little, a parts person at a jeep shop knew exactly what i needed. He gave me the jeep part number and i dialed the jeep dealer - an hour later i...

Thanks 60 Biscayne and shvlhd666. I think ill flush it out with a garden hose, dry it and call it a winner. Thanks for the feedback! 8)

OK, im about to put in the reman 4.0 in my 94 yj. One of the items the manual stresses is to make sure the intake manifold is clean so you dont suck in crap into the "new" engine and ruin it. So, anyone have any good suggestions on how to do this properly? I did squirt some carb cleaner up...

Thanks again shvlhd666. Yes, it is a roller bearing (needle rollers), but what I cant seem to find easily is the bushing that the roller sits in - I guess it is also called a sleeve. I think they come together, but the auto parts stores only show the bearing alone for the 1994 4.0 6 cyl!?! I...

Thanks shvlhd666! Appreciate the help!

I am putting in a reman 4.0 in my 94YJ, but i am having some trouble with the pilot bearing (also replacing the clutch while Im at it). It looks like the pilot bearing (on my old engine) is seated in some sort of bushing at the rear of the crank, but the reman engine does not have this bushing...

I had the same problem in my 88yj and i lived with it for a couple years until it actually started getting worse. It then started popping out of 2nd as well. I ended up finding another Pukeshow transmission from a junked wrangler and put it in. That was four years ago and it's still doing OK...

Wondering if anyone has any experience with remanufactured engines from PowerSource (Mississippi)? I was referred to them, but I'd like another opinion before I pull the trigger. I need to replace the original as the rod bearings are gone... Also, anyone have any good resources for...
