My 97 ZJ needs an engine overhaul--has a cracked ring (or worse). I'm debating my options. Pulling the engine, overhauling it myself, and putting it back is out--with the engine out of the Jeep I wouldn't have any way to get the block to the machine shop. So I'm debating whether to
(a) get a rebuilt long-block and put it in and be done with it or (b) get a junkyard engine, rebuild that, and put it in, or (c) get a junkyard engine, put it in, rebuild the existing engine, and swap it back. (d) get a beater pickup truck and use it to haul the block to the machine shop and back and once the job is done sell the beater.
Before I spend money I figured I'd see what others thought of the options.
