Starting my build

[Rob92XJ]

Been awhile since I last logged in, but here are some updates. It helps I finally got my block and stuff back from the machine shop today.
There has been some questioning my block due to my post of where my piston is in relation to my deck so here are a few pics.
Block casting number

Block ID

Production date

Sorry they were blurry.

Comparing piston pin heights

I couldn't hold the caliper and shot the pic at the same time

That's all for now.

The fun will start when you try to put the oil pan on.

It's not bad if you always liked the sounds of steel drums.

That's the first time I have heard of that and a friend of mine has a 4.6 in his YJ and no abnormal noises.

I've had a bit of a problem with the oil pan clearing the lowered main girdle. Had to beat the piss out of the pan. Also, check the oil pump clearance while you are at it.

Thanks for the reply Silver, I'll check the oil pump when ever it shows up since it and the pick up tube is on backorder along with my camshaft.

Finally got a camshaft for my stroker, our parts dept manager informed me I will probably have my cam in late April early May...F...that so I ordered a Competition Cams cam, I had ordered the Extreme 4x4 4254H cam and lifter set so I finally have the engine together and will be installing it this weekend.

I finally got my stroker installed and it is running great. I'll post up some pics when I get home.

need more info! What year vehicle ( OBDI or OBDII ), fuel injector size, valve springs, rockers, pushrods.

92 XJ is the vehicle, the injectors right now are stock as the FMS 24# ones I was supposed to buy turned out to be painted 19# injectors. Have not taken it WOT yet as it is friggin raining and my tag on my XJ is now dead so I will have to re-register it on Friday.
