4.0L HO Jeep Engine Build

Before I recommend a cam, I'll need to know tire sizes and gear ratio's. Once I have that, I can answer your queston.

No matter how much material you take off the head, you'll never move the piston closer to the head to acheive quench, all you'll do is increase the compression. Don't confuse compression and quench, they are completely different entities.

Ask away! That's what I'm here for. :) BTW, the power doesn't just drop at 4800, and it will pull to 5200, it just flattens out after 4800.


Roger that.
Vehicle--2000 Jeep XJ, Auto, 8.25 rear
Tires--30X9.50 R15
Gears--Stock (3.55's I believe) I may re-gear to 3.90:1 if I switch to 31" tires

Gotcha. So quench....If I recall correctly, you mentioned how it helps deal with detonation. Why not do this out of the factory?

I might do something similar with the valves. I've never seen the seat moved like that before. What did that cost roughly, if you don't mind sharing? I'll be getting this done in CO
