Jeep XJ Time-lapse Engine Rebuild, 4.0L Stroked to 4.6L | Redline Rebuild

Our 1993 Jeep Cherokee Sport needed its tired engine rebuilt, so we figured why not give it a decent upgrade while we're at it? Of course, we wouldn't miss the opportunity to shoot time-lapse video of every step along the way and hit you with another amazing addition to our Redline Rebuild series! With help from our friends at RockAuto.com, we source a crankshaft and pistons from a different Jeep engine (4.2L) and stroke this XJ's legendary 4.0L straight-6 AMC engine to a slightly more powerful and torquey 4.6L. Thanks to our sponsor RockAuto.com.
