Will be interesting to see how long the chem-i-weld lasts - 90% of the time it does nothing, the other 10% it seems to mask whatever problems you have. I used a similar product on a ZJ that had a...

It's unregistered and I didn't drive it (had it towed).

KJ 3.7 V6 - what to look for

Bit of an impulse purchase from Gumtree - most of the car looks fine but the engine is rattling (not sure what that is - could be valve lash adjusters, could be a big end).

Anyway, after I have...

My only advice is: if BJsoffroad don't have the swap parts already engineered, don't bother trying to do it. You will be in for a world of heartache.

I think a lot of the warnings about head incompatibility (due to the port shape changing) are not relevent to us.
