Hi guys, I have a high mileage (169,00) 2011 wrangler Jk with the 3.8 engine..I'm going to replace both oil pan gaskets due to a upper oil pan leak.. My question is, would you go ahead and change the main and rod bearings also ????
High mileage 3.8 JK
- Thread starter High Mt. Jk 63
- Start date
Is your oil pressure low?
Just my opinion if you spent the money to replace the lower bearings the rings would then get worn out before the new set of bearings did. Unless the bearings had alot of wear I probably wouldn't.
Agree with this. Especially if you (@High Mt. Jk 63 ) are the one that put all the miles on the vehicle and you know the service history.
Engine running well, the only noise I hear is a small start up noise that goes away in a second after the first start of the day.....I'll just change the gaskets and leave it alone. THANKS...
