I am told that Melling is the OEM manufacturer for Jeep and this is what I am going with, along with their timing chain kit. I can't give you any operational experience as my motor is being assembled right now.

There is nothing wrong with Melling cams. My machine shop uses them for stock rebuilds.

Thanks for the confirmation about Melling being used as a good stock replacement. It is good to hear that confidently repeated!

Here's the one I got from YO'Reilly's, the cam and "Sealed Power" lifters were $184.35 in my hands, ordered it Thursday after work and had it Saturday morning.
