So Im runnin stock 4.0L I6 in my Cherokee with about 180xxx miles. Recently its started losin oil pressure when i come to an idle. I havent changed the oil yet and was gonna go to a thicker oil. I also have serious compression issues in #4, its been that way since i bought it a year ago. This didnt really concern me much till it started tappin the other day, BAD. It literally sounds like a monkey it inside my engine with a ball peen hammer. This isnt good. Id love to have it rebuilt, but i believe thats gonna cost ALOT.  I need some suggestions. If you know something i can do to get by till i can afford a rebuild great. Or if you know someone who'll rebuild it fairly cheap. Im lookin for a straight up rebuild, no mods or nothin. Another thing, would i be better off to rebuild the tranny at the same time??? THANKS!!!

How much did that run you?

Not sure if this is something that interests you, but I know of a Cherokee that was recently wrecked and he might be willing to let go of his 4.0. I just went and saw it and heard it run earlier today.
