The store was wrong. There are orings on the captive bolt that tend to let go as well. I replaced them all not too long ago because this and the heater control valve leaking killed my starter. Mopar Part #4720363 is what you're looking for. I never could find all 3 (yes, there are 3 of them on that adaptor) at the parts houses, and they're idiots if they told you that's all you need. For a quick fix, I replaced my main o-ring with one off an oil filter because I had to order the orings. It lasted for a while then started leaking obscenely, drenching my starter after about 6 months. Turns out all the orings failed after staying dry for a while. Replace them all and don't worry about it again.
Camera not stable
Where can I locate an adapter to put a motor oil cooler and run it up front? Thanks love the channel!
99 Jeep XJ sport 4.0 auto 301,000 miles and driven 100 miles or more daily 18+ mpg and will still shit and get if someone tries to drive crazy she's left alot of confused 4cyl fart can warriors although with her mileage I take very good care and typically keep her rpms low. Thanks again hopefully this comment will be read in the huge sea of comments for your content!
That's a good fix, but here's what I did on my 92 after some research. I removed that whole adapter thing, removed the dowel pin from the block, transferred the longer threaded pipe from that adapter into the block, and screwed the small filter directly to the block. Its a tight fit but the small filter will go in there. No leaks ever again in that area.
this is something I probably need to do but i will not know for sure until I fix the leak from the oil pressure sending unit. it leaks out the electrical connector end and drips on top of the oil filter. since it is on a 94 zj I assume just like your xj that it is still the factory o ring and looks like a t 60 torx
Just did mine a few weeks ago. PITA! I used a socket wrench and mistakenly backed it out so far that the back of the wrench got stuck against the unibody. It was too tight to flip the wrench switch to drive it back forward a bit. Took me 45 extra minutes.
Cut 1/8 inch off each end of bit, gain another 1/4 inch clearance.
How about a follow up on that Hobart 140 ….
The oil adapter ring, the dizzy ring and the dipstick tube are the main leaks in the upper part, the rear seal is also a leaky part, then the cranck case ventilation ports in teh valve cover also like to leak oil
On my ZJ I just removed the adapter and threaded the filter into the block, like it should be. No more leaks.
and that's how you yada yada yada fix hummm hummm
Cut the bit down to the point where that shallow socket would just cover over the splines and you should have had enough space. Then epoxy it in after the job and designate that to this specific job!
Nice, I've been trying to do the same thing with my 97 XJ but cold weather, not wanting to do it keeps me from a spotless driveway. I will take charge and complete it next weekend. Thanks for the video. Awesome.
Have you ever thought about relocating the oil filter to the top of engine bay? Such as they do on mercruiser.
Your not Matt.. WTH!!
Really great video. Great angles and lighting
Need to do this to my '01 XJ for the second time. Last time, I paid a shop. This time, I've run into all the same problems, but my T60 is 10mm shaft instead of 12mm and I've destroyed one cheap wrench already. Guess I should pony up for a good quality forged wrench that won't turn into spaghetti.
You missed two O-rings on the bolt !!!
