Giordi has generously offered his services and I may just fly him out here to do an overhaul on my engine, but it would be wonderful to find a competent mechanic that can do the work here in Northern California. I'm in the Bay Area, just about an hour north of San Francisco. Any info would be greatly appreciated! |

What kind of overhaul does it need? |

Sounds like crap right now, so we've come to the conclusion that it's probably a few broken rockers. Repair List; -replace rockers -full timing belt change -ARP Head Studs -intake elbow upgrade At this point I really want someone who knows what the hell they're doing, so flying Giordi out will most likely be the best option. |

Just poking my head in here - Brian is getting all his ducks in a row for the trip, and it looks like there may be a gentleman in Oregon that is going to be part of the fun... If anyone else in the area needs something, now is the time! |

I think flying Geordi and getting a hotel would definitely be way cheaper than what a dealer will charge for such a job. Assuming the dealer is competent, which is a very big question... I think you can fly him first class and still be way under the dealer cost, lol. |

Yup! Jim is definitely the way to go. I've never found a mechanic in NorCal that is competent in these engines, and every time I call a dealership or shop they say "Jeep made a diesel?" I'm tired of messing around with it, and it sounds like Jim knows what he's doing. Thanks all! |
