Thank you guys for all the help:notworthy. It turns out I had the caps on backwards. They are stamped and in the right place but I didn't line up the tangs on the bearings. I turned them around and torqed it back down and it all spins fine. I have new bearings to put in tomorrow. I'm sure glad...

Ok. I pulled the engine back out and here's what I found. I could not tell if all of the caps are in the right spot as they were not marked. It does appear that they were all installed in the right direction. Upon removing the caps and bearings this is what I found:(The crank has only been...

Great info guys. I defnately didn't pay attention to those things. I did try to make sure the rods went back in the hole they came out of and faced the same way that they came out but that doesn't mean I didn't mess it up somewhere. I'll definately check it out. I may not even use this engine...

It's kinda like I feel like I'm going to break the pully bolt with a 24" breaker bar. I'm not sure if the rods are offset...I don't think so. the assembly lube is some pretty thick stuff but it's slick as hell. I got the bearings from the local parts house and even went back to verify the part...

I don't think so :dunno:. Without the rods connected, it turns smoothly and with the rods connected all of the pistons rise to the same point in relation to the block surface. Thanks for the suggestion though. I'll look ati it again.

I recently pulled a '94 4.0 from a parts yard to put into my '88 B II. I got the engine, tranny, dash, steering column, and all associated wiring harnesses. After the rebuild of the motor I noticed a bit of pressure while trying to rotate the crank pully. I didn't think much of it until recently...

I just picked up a '94 4.0 with auto tranny to drop into my '88 Bronco II:biggthump. I'm concerned about the high mileage on both. Are there any major concerns I need to address or things I need to do prior to installing it (any known problems). I was told it was running when the truck was laid...

Sorry I got hung up last night (took it on the trail:burnout:)and couldn't post up the pics. I don't know if this is the right link (I'm going off memory here) but my pics should be at http://s266.photobucket.com/albums/ii274/Rabbit4x4/B2%20build/. If the link turns out to be no good I'll try...

Hey everyone. I'm posting my intro 'cause the notice told me to do so:rolleyes:. Greetings from Florida. My ride is a 1988 Bronco II XL 4x4, 2.9l, auto. I've added 2" spacers front and rear, home made front and rear bumpers and a 8000lb winch, power locks, roof rack, and new paint. Other than...
