Jeep Strokers

Was just informed that my rocker bearings on my my 89 YJ 4.2 are going out and need replacing or replace the engine. Was curious if a Stroker Kit is in the cards here to fix the problem and modify at the same time. Just had a $900 gasket replacement done on the whole engine and not looking forward to ditching it and throwing away that money.

Thanks, Charles
and yes, a newb to mechanics.

Rocker bearings? Do you have roller rockers?

maybe he meant the muffler bearings?

just kidding. maybe he actually said/meant ROD bearings. how long ago did you do the gasket set? some of them MAY be reusable, but i think for the most part, you may end up buying alot of them again. happy research!

Alright, forget everything said earlier, lol. Can anyone point me in the right direction of finding a complete kit to take a 4.2L to a 4.5L. On a tight budget but in a hurry, vacation coming up.
Thanks again, Charles

You're gonna need to find a 4.0 engine to put your 4.2 crankshaft and 4.2 rods into.
