New Engine
Big Chuck:
Take the engine to the car wash! Lol even just a high pressure wash at home with degreaser and you should be good. Intake and manifold gaskets is a good idea whilst you are at it.

Don't forget rear main oil seal. Much easier to do when out of jeep.

Good call, need to drop the pan anyways.
JSchwinn:
So I have stripped the engine and purchased all new parts listed above. I was hoping to spend a month or so cleaning and painting the engine but when I got home yesterday there was an increased amount of oil leaking so I think my plans have to change. This weekend I will install all the above listed items and start the swap. The only thing I didn't change was the timing chain, hopefully it doesn't need it.
JSchwinn:
The increased oil leak has made the jeep undriveable which has put the engine swap as number one priority. I had an idea to make things quicker and easier, I'm thinking of unbolting the current intake/exhaust manifold and keeping it in place all wired up. This will make it so I only haven to unplug a few misc items. Anybody see any issues with this? Its not like the new engine has any different/better parts. I have unbolted most of the things on the old engine just need to undo the manifold/tranny/engine mounts. The engine may come out tomorrow if i have time after work. I'll then transfer the clutch and drop the new engine in.
