3.6 knocking sound?


Took me about two full days. Started late Thursday evening and all day Friday and Saturday. It kicked my butt, mostly cause it was hot. But yeah, rockers, lifters and spark plugs. My cams looked good - found the bad rocker but it only wore out the edges of the cam, the center of the cam lobe was flawless. Hoping I don’t ever have to do this again.

Guys, I need help. My battery is completely dead. I am not sure if I messed up here with a possible ground cable. I know for a fact some ground wire was connected to the body but when I put everything back together I could not find what was connected here. I connected that black wire to the battery because it kind of made sense the way it was bent, but now I am starting to think I screwed up.

The negative terminal is really crappy on the JK. Has happened countless times to me where it seems the Jeep has absolutely no power. Looks fine to me but try to wiggle the negative terminal around or remove and reinstall making sure the conical nut closer to the end is tight on the clamp. I've found it works more consistently without those anti corrosion felt washer things so it sits lower.
 
Waiting for triple A to show up and give me a jump. Was thinking of heading to Autozone right after to test the battery

I keep a jump box in mine for such an occasion... But yeah get it tested and if it's good I recommend reinstalling both terminals without those colored anti-corrosion felt washers.
 
Yep, removed and threw those away. Also, forgot to mention the jeep is completely dead. No dash lights or anything.
