    Hey all, 3 weeks ago I changed my J-3000 engine back to my original engine I swapped out last July with a junkyard rod-knocking engine.
    My old engine had a bad lobe on the #5 exhaust valve on my old RV camshaft, my problem that I didn't do was during the last camshaft install I didn't add the ZINC additive to the engine oil to break-in the camshaft.

    I refreshed the engine with a new TA Perf. RV-12 camshaft and new lifters and the Zinc additive.

    Nice to see your Jeep getting a fresh heart and even better that it is the original! :3gears:
