I think we're all hoping for a bench start or engine dyno run. Nice series.

Right as most of us would rather fix whatever we did wrong with the engine out of the vehicle, not after installation!

My thoughts too, those engines are probably strong enough to run with half the block missing but still, it is cringe

I can't wait to hear this engine rumble! Great work Davin, keep it up. Thanks for sharing these tips and tricks even though they are "sponsored"!

Definitely going to need a cost breakdown when you're done

For something like the oil pan, I take a piece of cardboard and push the bolts into an outline of the oil pan. Makes reinstalling very easy.

That felpro one piece gasket for these is an absolute must. I used one on my AMC 258 CJ-7 build and it is 100% seep and drip free. That gasket is about 30 bucks. Don't cheap out on that one.

Jeep I6's are always a good looker! 😊❤️

That’s the nicest looking Jeep 6 I’ve ever seen. Great work.

I absolutely love a six cylinder and this one is a real stunner!

I love these videos. Thanks for producing them.

beautiful work as always you guys! cant wait for the fire up!

I have really enjoyed this build. I really like that you are using all OEM parts!!

As Always , Great Job Davin !!!!!

Probably the best most clean rebuilds possible.

It looks great. Can't wait to see it running. It's going to be fun.

Wow this sure is eye candy stunning looking engine, congratulations Best 4.0/4.6 I have ever seen done.

Devin that extension nut was hell of a tip in itself. Also the oil pressure check with battery drill awsome man you are a legend .

We love your videos. Only ones f their kind. Many, infinite automotive videos online but none like yours. 👍

Awesome. She's a beauty! The later distributor is a nice upgrade as the sensor is easily replaced.

It is always good to see when people take pride in their work.

Seeing this run will be a lot of fun.

Soon as I saw the drill, I knew the tape was coming. Great job, beautiful engine.

Can't wait for a full time lapse of the full tear down and build. Wowser

Truly Magical 👍 Love your work & Presentation. The editors & Camera guys need a Big 👏🏼 and the set is to die for ! No clutter or distraction from the beautiful work Congrats from the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Those 4.0L engines are torque monsters stock in the Grands at 4.6 and a nicely balanced rebuild it'll challenge many V8s. Nice rebuild Davin. Cheers 🇨🇦

Love the fact you don't shy away from injection.. Sure It doesn't have old school cool, but it still does a really good job, and in a mostly OE setup, perfectly fine(perfectly fine in all other setups so longer as your tuner can use them)

Best mechanic ever💪🔥

Lube the videos, awesome work Redline rebuilds!

The trick of taping the sockets to the extensions works great for spark plugs that are deep inside of the cam cover or cylinder head. Those sockets love to stick to the spark plugs and pull off the extension.

I’d go magnetic any day. I used tape once and the plug got stuck (my own fault obviously). Magnetic if you’re an idiot like me :)

Always great to see the "poor man's stroker" builds! Fun to watch you do this! I did notice however you hadn't mentioned that head bolt #11 goes into the water jacket and requires thread sealant and only gets 100 lbs/ft torque versus all the rest getting 110 lbs/ft torque. It seems trivial but many many years ago I discovered a leak from having forgotten that very important task. Can't wait to hear yours when it's done!

Man, I love that engine!

Looks great and can't wait to hear it run!! :)

Great looking engine!!

Nice looking engine! Looks like it just rolled off the assembly line

That in one good looking motor - nice job!

Maybe also install DEI injector heat shield. Helped on our '99 4.0 XJ.

That paint is so fresh it seems like I can smell it and I'm thousands of miles away.

It's a beautiful thing!

The engine setup up looks incredible! I can’t wait to hear this torque monster fire up! I have always enjoyed all of y’all’s videos.

A Fram filter? That's one way to light the internet on fire! 🤣🤣🤣

Another tip of the day for a 9/16 hex take a 5/16 bolt and double nut the threaded end and an instant hex tool at no cost

Heay David just another beauty from your hand got to say it many things on it makes it nice to look at from the gray lines on the top cower to the blue oil-pan gasket but nothing stands more out then the golden freeze plugs it just teels you that it is all rebuild Best regards from little Denmark was with y`a from the start learning somthing every time 😉

You know, relative to the industry, I’d say Davin is the best!!!

Nice video.👍

Super kanał aż miło się ogląda jak składasz te silniki jest moc pozdrowienia z Polski😉👍

Outstanding. Looking sharp. Jealous of you being able to run the oil pump without having to turn the crank!

Fantastic

Oil pressure sensors don’t tend to “go bad” as often as they plug up…I’ve cleaned many of them only to have them work, clog up, clean up and work.

Looks great Nick Australia

Thats a beauty. Maybe replace the generic fill cap on the valve cover with something more eye catching

THIS MAN IS A GANGSTER. GREAT MECHANIC.

Holy s#!t, Davin, you got a lot done. That engine is lookin' sweet!✌❤🙂🇨🇦

Please please please make these videos longer they need to be minimum 20 minutes long. Anyways I always watch and thumbs up you guys do great stuff across the board. Davin and Redline rebuilds is number one for me though. Thanks bye for now.

It's like a USB2 plug. There's 2 ways it can go in but somehow the first time you try it's always wrong. Good old Murphy. 🤣

my dream engine

For those large "Allen bolts" I've used a bolt with nut welded on the end plenty of times.

Loving this build!! Making me think my '93 2-door XJ Sport needs a similar upgrade when the time comes. Only 156K on it so far, and it purrs along well for now. But in the future..........

I'm a Jeep hater at heart but its hard to deny the stoutness of the jeep straight 6's

Can't wait for the final video and startup !

Awesome as always! Little suggestion for a later episode: Why not do an Honda N600 engine, aircooled twin cylinder inspired from a motorcycle. The N600 was the first car Honda sold in the USA. Keep up the good work!

Locking extension may have been helpful? But always good to be extra sure too instead of tearing it apart to fish out a dropped socket/tool. Craftsman does have them and surely you have a few in the massive tool set they helped set you up with. I have them myself so I know they exist.

On the oil pressure adapter I installed a 1/8 NPT street tee, so I can run my OEM sensor and use a oil filled gauge, and get a solid reading at the sensor... all the time.

I always try an run a real off road oil pan and pick up also roller rockers I heard go very well with 4.2 liter jeep motors an when you prime the engine I always leave valve cover off an rotate engine a quarter turn till back to zero an watch an if oil is going thought rockers OK 👍 😎

A 3/8ths by 1 1/2 with two nuts jammed up works also, if you can't find your 9/16ths allen. Same with a 1/4 x 1 1/2 for the older GM disc brakes, for when a 7/16ths wasn't around.

I put the distributor on wrong in the first engine I ever worked on too. A little 1256cc 4 cylinder. I was so frustrated that I just changed the firing order for the plugs. It took a bit of figuring out, but I got it to work.

I like the red assembly lube better because you're better able to see what's been done.

I miss my 91 xj…😭😭

Love it

Stab the distributor at TDC, I think that’s where he was going. Also, one could use a 9/16” bolt and nut in place of a hex key.

6:00 there are socket sets with anti FOD locks (foregin object damage/debris), that you have to push to release (not just spring backed ball). Pricier, but fishing out socket from the engine is no fun.

Interesting pre lube with the drill. Never saw that before, but I don't build engines either.

little known fact, the engine doesn't actually have to be running to check the timing with a light.. I always check by cranking with no fuel, people think its magic when the engine fires perfectly the first time.. the reason it's so easy to get 180 out is because most camshafts are installed TDC at overlap between intake and exhaust and ignition needs to be TDC on compression.. put your finger over the #1 spark plug hole if you can and turn it till you feel compression, then find TDC..

Speaking of dud sensors, had a car come in with a gauge tee'd into the pressure sensor hole and it kept dropping off at random. Put on a regular test gauge and the pressure was excellent. Ran it with the aux gauge and realised that whoever had installed it had somehow connected power via the second cooling fan relay and when the temp went up or turned the AC on the fan kicked in and sapped the power reading for the gauge.

looks like a brazilian GM Opala engine, chevy 250s, big bore, big displacement and a lot of torque

Did Devin change assembly lube for the top end? Also, awesome tip on the tape/socket hack!

awesome set of videos! any idea of the horsepower it makes?

oh no, wrong.. it goes in my Cherokee .. ENJOYED

FUEL INJECTORS?!? That part that's been commonly available on vehicles for the last 40+ years? That's some wild stuff right there. Don't get too carried away. It's absolutely amazing how many car shows are out there still bagging on EFI and acting as if it's some sort of black magic voodoo. I'm past 50 and I'd MUCH rather deal with EFI over a carby any day of the week. Every argument out there against EFI is old, weak, and almost always bull. FIGGER IT OUT - It's the 21st century already.

What truly impressed me was that you were using a speed wrench 🔧and not the cordless drill. Like my Kids!!! I try and teach them a little Old School 🏫 but there all about saving a second. Looking good 👍👌. I'm also betting it's in Time ⏲️. God Bless and stay safe 🙏

Nice man. How come you didn't put on the 2001 HO intake?

I need that engine for my suzuki grand vitara

This is a long time coming. M539 had an engine out, rebuilt and installed in 2 episodes!

Can confirm those oil pressure sending units are known to fail. I've also heard that some of them are "real" and some of them are "fake". Meaning that some report the actual pressure and others act more like an idiot light that fakes the gauge. That might just be a TJ thing though..?

im surprised you used the clay method rather than the dial indicator touching rocker/valve stem method. also, where do you find a double roller timing chain? and is there any adhesive for the freeze plugs or do you need to leave them in the freezer overnight?

The only question I have is, did you goop up the front driver side stud on the engine at the engine (I believe it's commonly considered the #11 fastener in the torque sequence)? That's an open hole to the water jacket. If you don't put some Permatex or some kind of sealant there, it will leak.

Davin... do an LS please

i'm surprised you didn't use the newer higher flowing intake on it???

Where is the Late Model Intake for the large plenum and did you bore out the throttle body?

also, for the higher volume injectors does that require a different pressure regulator, fuel pump or computer programming? mines a 95 model, so its OBD1. not sure you can flash that computer or do anything with it

The toughest of the tough, those inline AMC/Jeep engines - and this one is probably one of the prettiest (yes *Davin* , I said pretty :-) ) I've ever seen. I can't figure out why the build is dragging out so much on it, though - shorter episodes this time seems like? Then it occurred to me that perhaps having an official sponsor might have something to do with it? No matter, we'll take our *Davin* any way we can get him. *Best show on Hagerty!* - Ed on the Ridge

Молодец

Did you time the cam or just set it and go?

Why was the bare top end blurred out when you rolled it over on the stand?

What cam did y’all end up going with?

Did you source 4 hole injectors?

Why not use the 2000+ intake manifold?

I got a question how come you didn't put roller rockers and lifters in

I'd go for a better head before a stroker kit myself

No horseshoe intake off the newer 4.0s?

Why the use of the older intake manifold ?
