Good video, I did the RMS in my Comanche when I had the trans out and it was much easier, but still a tough time. I ended up having to take the next 2-3 bearing caps ahead loose to get enough space to get my new block side seal in without damage. Very carefully re-torqued everything and have been leak free the last 2 years! I don't drive it much, but it was much needed. While you're down there, might as well do the oil filter adapter gaskets as well, since that's another leak-prone area of these motors.
I’m super leery of the Chinese oil pump garbage out there. So if it ain’t broke don’t fix it kinda thing. And man oh man would I love to put a stroker motor in this Cherokee!!

I forgot in some cases you have to loosen up a couple more bearing caps. Damn wish I had mentioned it. Thanks for posting it here though!
Great walkthrough. I will be doing my rms soon and this will helpful.
Thanks!
Good job! You motivated me to get mine done!
@@kjohns236 Fantastic!
Great video, good job.
@@k9k936 thanks!!
Great video bud. What year is yours because when I clicked the link for the the RMS. Shows it doesn’t fit mine. Did they change the RMS for a 00/01?
Yes the seal is different. Mine is a 1997. The install will be about the same though.
Do you think this job could be done with just hand tools?
Absolutely! You’ll just need to source a torque wrench. But the rest can totally be done with hand tools.
Why didnt you replace the oil pump or even put in a stroker crank while you were in there?😁😁

Then forged iron pistons, bore out the cylinders, new timing chain and camshaft, roller rockers...
How is it holding up? Just purchased a ‘97 for my son that likely needs this.
