Project Cheep Cherokee's back in the shop so we can do a budget bore and stroke on our four liter straight six for more power. And, we'll show you how to create more displacement and let it breathe better by port matching the intake and cylinder head.

4:58 Engine assembly is a little more than just torque spec and sequence although those are vital. Your bearing and piston clearances matter just as much if not more. Also piston ring end gap depending on your plans. You want to open them up if going with a power adder unless you like busted ring lands. And checking the end gap should be standard in any build unless you like blowby on a new engine. Too much crankshaft thrust clearance? You might end up driving over the crankshaft the first time you give it the beans. Just got your block back from the machine shop after a line hone and overbore? Check the clearances on the pistons and bearings. Never just assume all is copacetic. And don't spin the crankshaft until all the main caps are torqued to spec. The mains are not round until they are torqued and spinning the crank before the mains are torqued means you run the risk of scuffing the bearings and possibly the journals.

@mitchellpatterson1829 2 жыл бұрын

One thing I should point out, they kept saying "Cherokee rods" and "Cherokee pistons" this WILL NOT WORK with a 258 crank. The 4.0 has a deck height of 9.45". If you use the 6.125 connecting rods on the 3.895" stroke of the 258 crank it will shove the piston about a quarter inch into the head. The 4.0 piston has a compressed height of 1.601" so you can either use the 258 connecting rods, which will increase your quench height, and make the engine sensitive to fuel, or get custom pistons with a +/- 1.3" compressed height. The second option maintains the total combustion volume, and lets you run the same fuel as a stock 4.0L.

Listen to the engine run, you can hear slight misfires not enough to trigger the misfire monitor to pop a DTC but enough to make it fail tighter 2007 emissions standards. Some 4.0Ls run smoother than others, sometimes even with rotor, cap, wires and plug replacements it still runs a little rough. And with that much raw fuel running through the cat, epa felt that it wont pass, the 3.8L V6 used in 2007 to 2010 ran smoother and had a little more horsepower, but the 4.0L was still superior.

Your crank position sensor picks up signals from the reluctor wheel that is mounted on the crankshaft. So if the 4.2 crank has the same size reluctor and the same amount of teeth, you should be golden. Just make sure you time the crank and cam properly. This means you need to make sure you can mount the reluctor from the 4.0 crank on the 4.2 one.

@TwentytenS4B8 3 жыл бұрын

If the tolerances are off in the negative, then yes back to the machine shop. If they are positive well time for a new block. You can always take material off but you really can't put it back on. So if they hogged out your mains too much, you need to see if they have an oversize bearing to take up the difference. If not, the block is junk. Same with crankshaft journals. If they spec out too much in the negative and there is no oversize bearing, the crank is junk. Or it could be you ordered the wrong bearings. This is why it's important to check clearances even after getting a block back from the machine shop.

@@juhomaki-petaja Depends on engine design. Certain cylinder head shapes or piston shapes can change where the hot spots are in the cylinder changing what fuel might need to be run. There's no real "use premium at this compression ratio and regular at this one". Every engine is different. An engine with a good cooling system might easily get away with 10:1 compression like the LT1 with reverse cooling where other engines with the exact same geometry (IE earlier small blocks with similar cam) would probably need premium to run 10:1. Smaller cam = lower compression or higher fuel grade since the compression is not being relived by cam overlap IE Dynamic compression.

@@jacobvanhalteren7452 You may be confusing cylinder pressure w/ compression ratio. While there may be a slight drop in cylinder pressure, due to valve position, the compression ratio actually increases as RPMs increase w/ overlap. There is a scavenging effect that comes into play w/ that cam design w/ that creates this increase. There is some myth and some science behind what you hear and read about. Be well, sir.

Maybe power wash under the hood the, engine and undsrneath well before you pull the engine the power wash again then cleaners before you paint it ..will be much vetter .

When you stroke a 4.0l straight 6 don't usually stroke it to a 4.6 l?

0,04” overbore +4,2L crank =~4,6L

A bigger 4.2 stroke in a stock 4.0 block is like 4.35L. So with no overbore you gain 350cc's. There are 667cc per stock cylinder so not quite the size of a 7 cylinder. A 0.030 overbore is 4.475L. A 0.040 over bore is 4.6L, still short of having 7 stock cylinders. A 0.060 overbore is 4.7L. You can get a bore and stroke for this 4.0 to make it a 5.0L I6. 0.060 over may get a few soft spots in the bore and a sleeve will be needed. We went this route. 1991 4.0L Larado with a 4.7 combo. A warm cam, ported stock head, MAP sensor adjustor and 4wheel High it will smoke most stock 4.6 Mustangs.

Dave J: 4.0(242) bore: 98,4mm 4.2(258) stroke: 98,9mm =4512cc Add .030” overbore=4582cc I got dimensions from Wikipedia

I would have painted the engine a mid 70s early 80s chrysler medium blue . it would have made the engine pop instead of the boring black paint. I save a bunch of money buying a 3"x3" exhaust pipe connector from oreallys and two 3" x 3" 26 guage adjustable elbows and a 3 " x 24" section of galvinized pipe from menards and a 3" x 3" blue silicone 90° elbow and a K & N cone filter 2" x 4" with a 2.75 inner diameter base for the cold air induction to pass through the panel above the fire wall just below the cawl panel on the passengerside = 77.00 not including tax or the 2 rolls kit of heat resistant wrapping for headers to cover the entire length of the tubing fen the base of the silicone elbow above the trottle body to the fire wall = 45.00 online .
