Finished replacing both Cyl heads

[driveability]

Some time back I posted that my 02 Liberty had dropped a valve seat, well I finely got the time to repair it. I got 2 rebuilt heads, with valves, cam, rockers etc pre-installed via EBAY for $300 each, the gasket set cost $100 dollars.
The job went smooth, the biggest things for me were getting the cyl head torqued correctly and getting the timing chains in line. I didn't have any of the Jeep special tools, however you can get by without them. The engine runs perfect and I'm glad to have the Jeep back on the road..

Thats not to bad to replace both heads. Hopefully you wont have any problems out of the rebuilt units.

Glad its good to go now.

I didn't do the work all at the same time, and didn't have air tools in the garage I did the job. I would think 6 to 8 hours sounds right. Remember the first time is always longer than the second etc. There wasn't anything difficult, just a lot of little things had to be removed and installed.. Now the engine runs perfect, quiet and smooth.. 100 dollars worth of hand tools and some know-how is all ya need.
I have some experience, this is my other car a Porsche 914 with a 450 hp small block Chevy and a racing transmission. I built this in my one car garage at home..

Hey,
they are Ferrari 575 Marabello mufflers,(EBAY $200 bucks) they have two outlets one is quiet and the other is real thunder. The thunder ones are controlled electrically, I just flip a switch on my shifter to turn them on or off. Besides my neighbors would gang up on me if I ran straight pipes LOL
