Rebuilt the main bearing set, had to replace one of them due to excessive wear, now waiting for engine install and final tune-up. Spent 12 hours rebuilding this 4.0 liter V6, replaced all major components and got it purring like a kitten again. New engine, who dis? Just dropped the trans and swapped the engine, now just need to bleed the coolant system before firing her up for the first time in months. Pulled out the old cat back and swapped it with a bespoke system, now the exhaust note is more throaty than ever. The new engine's oil pressure has stabilized, and I can already feel the difference in power output compared to my old one. After months of planning, the old engine is gone and the new one is installed, all without removing any other components. Still plenty of work ahead to get it purring smoothly. Swapped out the head gasket, cleaned the engine block, and she's running smoother than ever with a fresh coat of oil. Replaced the heavy-duty sway bar with a stiffer unit from the aftermarket vendor after initial testing revealed inadequate lateral stiffness at high speeds.
