Watch this video, it is pretty easy to see how the lifters are screwed up

I would be interested to review the jeep in its current state, if it has not been tampered with

Unfortunately

Also now that I think about it. I am on my development tune, which has things way more amped up then what I let you all drive. Unless I specifically have asked you to test this.

I will be sending update shortly so u can. To be clear it is WOT from 60-90 mph up hill lol

Well false alarm,,,, pheww!! So I just went and worked over that entry ramp for 3 hours. I met a cop, lol. I showed him my jeep and what I was doing, and he said be careful and keep it under 90, and he was good as long as he was covering that area. So today got to 100 degrees. Cylinder 5,had...

Yeah, what do you do with this engine??? Everyone is like it is a 200K engine. Give me one with 75k on it and let me log data while giving it hell. I bet I can show you issues, if it has never been opened. It will run normal everyday stuff fine. Until you clog a cat or need all 280 hp

Well this may be the gift that keeps on giving. Though I will take credit for this one. In my tune strategy I dump fuel and open the exhaust valves when the cylinders get noisy to avoid moving the head gasket or worse. Today I was accelerating on to the interstate and power felt off but numbers...

You can spin the battery 180 when you drop it back in and the cables fit pretty good. I almost did it when I was replacing my cams.

Awesome! When you put the Amp in, did you use resistors or the PAC solution? This setup is killer!

I am pretty sure I know what happened. The batteries are separated by a run relay. You start is and drive away and this relay keeps the batteries separated, when you come to a stop the relay will remain open, until you take off again. Then the relay closes and allows the alternator to charge...

You could probably sell the pulley, belt, and HP interface for good money as they are about non existent at this point. Us jeep guys have done a good job consuming them all lol!

I think the 850RE is a pretty solid transmission, if assembled correctly. I cannot say the same for the 3.6L that came with my Jeep. Even assembled correctly it has glaring errors, my came misassembled so that was even more fun.

Well I think the system holds together when it is cold. When the oil gets fuel riddled and hot things go south. I think a small percentage are solenoids, I have seen two driver side failures. My guess is solenoids as they had the right lifters in there. This is such a major foul up. And it is...

The head is bigger on the non groove rocker. Also no groove. The head is what feeds the vvl mechanism, so if the oil escapes via the groove or a loose fitting head, the vvl will not stay disengaged at low rpm. Thus using the duty cycle to 100% which I don't believe is intended.

Many people will not agree with me but I have always felt Amsoil is a safe bet. They take their work seriously, and they do engineering. Not as much corporate misdirection. With that said, who knows if they are resource of info limited.

I have been using the Pennzoil ultra platinum. There is some buzz around Quakerstate Ultimate Durability, so I may give that a try. I am not real hip on the recycled stuff.

In my opinion, if they are intent on running 0-20 oil, the high lift cam needs to be roller, or needs to have oil squirter. High heat, high centripetal force, and low viscosity just make for a bad combination when combating wear. With a higher viscosity my hope is some of it stays on the lobe...

Can you explain what you mean by "update" the exhaust lifters has a groove around the pivot portion. The intake lifter doesn't

I will support it. Follow the instructions on my post. I will need a picture of the injectors.
