Oil Pans gaskets are not cheap
Good it was done and you have 'the list'.
Already did that. The XJ has needed a lot of love as of late. Build thread is here: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f177/...hread-2161945/Quote:

Nice Whammy.
No flame suit required!
Today's joy included dealing with a stripped torx bolt. Shown is the drilled out bolt, what should replace it, and what I actually replaced it with (M10x25 10.9 grade bolt).

Last night I completed replacing the alternator, thermostat, water pump, water pump pulley, & power steering pulley.

After doing this job, I definite notice a noise difference. Here is the before and after videos:

After putting everything back together and adding coolant, I discovered a leak in the lower radiator hose. :/ I ordered two o-rings from BMP design.
Good werk. Hope the leak is no biggie.
I had a chance to look again today. I think I need to replace the entire hose. Even after a new seal, the lower hose where it connects to the thermostat is still leaking. I also checked codes and it was misfiring. However I think it is due to the car sitting too long.Quote:
