CRD engine rattling
I don’t remember exactly, because I wasn’t using the ac back in the spring when it quit. I did take the serpentine belt off and it didn’t change anything.- Btownpreacher

CRD engine failure: Replacement or Part-out
The biggest expense is the new head that I need. I’m guessing it’s probably hard to find used heads.- Btownpreacher

CRD engine failure: Replacement or Part-out
I need to know if it’s worth it to get four cylinders and liners or not. Only one was damaged, but I’m tempted to do them all at once. It would save me $2000 but if I rebuild it and find that they’re down on compression it will have been a waste of time- Btownpreacher

CRD engine failure: Replacement or Part-out
The 5k was $3500 for the engine, and changing the head gasket, head bolts, rockers, timing belt, and probably glow plugs. And the only engine I found had 145k miles. Unfortunately there were only ever 10000 CRD libertys in the US. There aren’t many engines available so the price is really high...- Btownpreacher

CRD engine failure: Replacement or Part-out
I have posted about it before, but my 2005 Liberty CRD Limited blew up on April 6, 2024; RIP I disassembled everything and the exhaust valve in cylinder 2 had snapped marring the head, the piston and the liner. I documented everything and the cost for a full rebuild is about $5700 US dollars...- Btownpreacher

The engine rattle turned out to be a failed harmonic balancer. Made terrible noise but made no difference to the engines performance. Unfortunately I never found out until after my engine grenade-ed- Btownpreacher

Does anyone have a thread they can recommend that has info on how to rebuild the CRD engine? Either here or on lost jeeps? I’ve got the engine down to the block, and I’ve just removed the block. I want to find some resources before I open the bottom end- Btownpreacher

CRD engine rattling
I’ve found that all of the parts are available from Sasquatch parts or IDparts. If I have to rebuild my engine, I want it to last for a long time so I want to build it as best as I can- Btownpreacher

CRD engine rattling
Are there any concerns about only replacing one piston, liner, and rod, instead of replacing all of them? Will that affects compressions or engine balance? Also where do I find a new crankshaft pulley with an intact harmonic balancer?- Btownpreacher

CRD engine rattling
I think the head is probably not worth it. I would need to replace all of the valves and hardware as well as get it machined and the new valves set. It looks like the aluminum is pressed into the other exhaust valve and there’s slight warping where the valve pressed into the head. I haven’t...- Btownpreacher

CRD engine rattling
Well I have my update. I decided to start teardown last night and I kept at it till 2 AM. I made it all the way until I started to round over a head bolt so I stopped for the night. I stopped by harbor freight tools today after classes, and I got a set of sockets for removing rounded over bolts...- Btownpreacher

CRD engine rattling
I pushed it up to my garage today. No leaking of any kind, but the oil is significantly over full and it smells funny. I’m guessing the oil is full of coolant. Anybody have an oil laboratory that you’d recommend for examining an oil sample? I’ve heard of different places that do it but I’ve...- Btownpreacher

I kinda knew this day (or night) was coming, I just really hoped that it wasn’t going to. I’ll be tearing into it on Monday after college classes. Hopefully it makes for a project that is as exciting as I always imagined it would be ♂️- Btownpreacher

CRD engine rattling
Something popped and I started blowing thick white smoke from the exhaust. I pulled over right away and shut it off, so it was running for less than a minute. As I stopped, I got a low coolant light. Under the hood there are no obvious leaks or issues but the coolant reservoir is empty. The oil...- Btownpreacher

Well… Not guesswork anymore. Something blew in my engine on my way home at 11 PM. Not sure what but I think it’s finally time to find my rattle. And probably rebuild my engine…- Btownpreacher
