[QUOTE="Saw, post: 441333, member: 21466"] Good job my friend. I also am going through some similar situations with a newly rebuilt 2.5 install. Ran great during break in time. Drove to a buddy's house and starting it back up to leave. It went down hill right now. And like you, I was hesitant to check the obvious because I did not want to believe that something was wrong internally. After checking everything else first, I pulled the valve cover to find my problem in no 3 cylinder. Had a bent pushrod. (So far) I am going to pull the head right now to see what the extent of the damage will be and hopefully can use some of my old stuff of old motor to drive this thing today. I was just in denial and posted here with hopes of someone telling me it was going to be something easy but after facing up to it and taking a deeper look, the obvious was right there waiting . I don't know what I was trying to get out of it because in the back of my mind I already now the motor went wrong somewhere during break in or whatever and I guess I was trying to keep from being embarrassed and was like, "see no evil, hear no evil...) but the blinders had to come off because out of options and still had a non running heap of jeep outside on the patio. I love my jeep and I know they have more then their fair share of issues but I have discovered that it's not just a vehicle, it's a way of life. Everything it stands for and the people who will wave to you as you pass them by in their jeep, and the freedom to go where you want to when you want to and the jeep community is just something that you get when your a jeep owner. Where I am at there is a few off road recovery groups who will help anyone anytime who needs it and are active in the community and do toy drives for kids and cool stuff.
