Jeep 4.0L Head Gasket - Cherokee (XJ) - The Roadhouse 

Straight up subscribed within 45 seconds to a 7 year old video.

God i miss these guys

GD, I don't even own a jeep and these guys are still better than most of my cable channels.

I just wanted to say thank you, I'm in the middle of changing out my head gasket and I wouldn't have been able to do it without this video. I came to this channel pretty late with Tommy already being gone by the time I subscribed, but I just want to let you know every time I grab a wrench I've said, "SOCKEEETS....CHECK"

I watched this doing some business on the can while my kid was taking his bath. What I'm saying here is that it's nice having some great videos that I can watch with the volume up.

This has to be among the easiest head gasket replacements I've ever seen

Shame on me for only finding your Channel today. Absolutely one-of-a-kind legendary. The both of you are awesome. And definitely keep up the great work.

Wow. I had no clue a HG was THIS simple on an XJ.... so glad I got one! No where near as complicated as a full engine rebuild. Don't have to mess with timing or anything!!!

About to finally take care of my slightly blown head gasket (came with it!) on my 04 Wrangler I bought and drive in Japan. Arigato gozaimashita for this video! Great visual and summary to help me understand that I do indeed need to drive it to another base with a hobby shop... not all military bases have hobby shops, which is BS! But now I'm glad I didn't start in the parking lot... also laughed my ass off watching this, so much appreciated!

Only watched through the intro, already subbed..

Seriously you two are a blast. I stumbled upon your show because I am looking to do a DIY bumper. I don't even own a Jeep but I love watching your characters. Thanks!

I did mine this pass week and I’m glad Jeep didn’t go to a overhead cam style cylinder head. Thanks for the video guys!!

You two are in a small group of Canadians that I truly enjoy watching.

Great video guys! That six cylinder engine is one of the best.

Thanks to your video I also replaced my head gasket and everything turned out great. Thanks again!

LMFAO at the Mortal Combat noise when Tommy pops up in the out-takes.

Yep, subbed! Really like the way you work on the Jeep, in a hobby manner but also keeping it real when it comes to precautions.

Wow this is genuine TV quality entertainment and I really hope you do well with this. Tommy's kitchen is incredible

Thanks for the video guys! Aside from a library loaned Chiltons (I'm as cheap as you, lol) to get all the torque specs your video and a bunch of tools were all I used to get an XJ with a badly blown head gasket back on the road. Now to replace those warn out CVs up front. For reference, the quote from a local shop was $1300 for parts and labor and I did it for $200. Would have been a bit less but we broke a temp sensor getting the wires disconnected and took the opportunity to replace a very warn bearing on the idler pulley. No Tommy, I'm not sending you the savings to blow on PBR.

FANTASTIC video guys! I know this is from 2016, but I just blew my head gasket, and I need to replace it. Also, I don’t have like two G’s to have someone do it for me, so thanks again.

What a video! You guys made a tutorial super detailed and informative AND FUN! I almost cannot believe this clip only has 3590 views..... Keep on making such great video! Double thumbs Up for you guys :)

I'm def going to follow this video when I need to do the head gasket on my 4.0 Jeep. Thanks guys...Cheers !

Awesome video guys! I plan on doing this to the xj this weekend, knew it couldn't be that hard.

You're almost at 10K subs! I loved this video, I can't wait till the next one. You guys are just getting better and better.

This is my favourite video from you guys so far. This seems like a daunting job, but now that I've seen it done it looks like something I'd want to try. :)

This is the first head gasket replacement video I've ever watched and it looks like I can probably do it. Awesome video guys, subbed!

I don't follow car mechanic videos. Blew a headgasket in my 1995 wrangler with the same 4.0. You just gained a sub from the quality and awesomeness of your video

It's 2021, and I miss them even more.

love the dewalt i use one daily as a mechanic going on 2 years no problems yet except the rubber over molding coming off but anyway all we see is you working on this thing lets see it in action

I wish they still had this channel going and that the other dude didn’t leave cause the quality of there shows is soo good

You two rock, funny, and very informative. Subscribed!

Such a great video! Might be my favorite of yours so far.

I love the fact that you boiz are the Pabst Blues Brother of automobile engine service and repair! Back in the day, we would also be slugging down Pabst Blue Ribbon Lbr's whilst repairing our '68 Mustange Fastback or the '68 Mercury Comet 289 4BBL engines...oh yeah babbeee...anyway now I am not saying I can't still slam a few PBR pounders, and fix an engine or two, but my tastes have become a bit more refined....okay give me a bottle O' Jack, some PBR's, and a wrench, and I can still do damage control on most any BEAST out there probably though them years 91' and older..ha...Johnne in Seattle!

Solid start boys! The man lifted a 4.0 head with one hand like it was nothing. I know that's not easy. Those suckers are heavy

Awesome video as always guys! definitely one of my favorites! keep up the great content! cheers!

Well done guys! That was the first thing I did when I got my 2001. No cracked head, but I got a Clearwater head on there so I don't have to worry later. The hardest part for the entire job was the manifolds disconnect/reconnect. My giant caveman arms couldn't fit. I went through a few cases of PBR the few days it took me to complete...

You guys cracked me up😂 new subscriber! Love the Jeep!

Why do I have the feeling you guys did this just for a vid ??? That's dedication boys. Pabst's are on me!

Stuck at home because of COVID-19. Been meaning to do this for a while but haven’t ever gotten around to it. I guess now that I have nothing else to do, this will be the best time to change out my leaking head gasket. I don’t think I could do it without watching this video. My head bolts are the 12-point bolts, though, and I’m afraid I might strip them because they are torqued down so tight. The ones in the vid are 6 point.

love the vids guys I'm actually doing this job to my XJ now just did the freeze plugs if I would have block tested before it would have saveed me the trouble of having to rip the out the exhaust and intake out again watched this video like 5 times .

GREAT information guys! Thanks for the video!

Tommy, love the stash!!! Keep up the great vids.

Donuts and Pabst, What a way to start the day.

you guys deserve more subscribers, this stuff is great:)

Great video, thanks guys! ....and from BC too, makes it that much better! Cheers yo!

far out video, i dig you style dudes-never done a head gasket before but this definitely makes it look doable

Subbed just because the beers and southern feeling intro it gave me dukes o hazzard vibes

I've already done this repair myself--- it was before RU-vid was very popular.. so I had to do it from an instruction manual. I felt pretty damn good about myself when I accomplished it.

Uahoo..looks easy😒 but is not the first time! Great video!

Just found this channel today it’s great and funny

it took me 18secs of watching this to like and subscribe.

Funny as shit, guys! I’m fairly competent and came across your video when trying to refresh before changing out the head on my ‘04 LJ. You hit everything important and left out all the bullshit. Kudos. And cheers!!!

Most work ever!! Great episode!!! Thanks for the link!

As always such a great video! it seems my 1 month of learning Japanese didn't pay off after all hahah from what Tommy was saying i only understood something about it being beautiful lol well at least i caught to something ;) keep up the good work

AWESOMELY AWESOME!!!!!! You guys frickin kick ass!!! Love your shows😃😉👍. I had a farmers get together this last week and told everyone to check out your channel so I hope there will be a surge in your subs I hope😉🍻🌭🍺cheers.

Liked and subscribed in the first 10 seconds of the video. 100/10

great video guys! Keep up the great work. Love the content!!

Highly informative idea guys thanks

You two are so good !

Great video! Fun and educational! Keep them coming...

You guys are awesome! Great video!

That was freaking rad!! Thanks

Thanks guys. I needed a laugh after blowing my head gasket.

thanks for this - you've helped me decide to take it to a shop - i don't have that kind of time or gumption

You guys are "Awesome!" Thanks!

You guys had the best video.........

You guys are hilarious..Looks like you found your overheating problem...It was head gasket day for me too but no beer and no Tommy and no Jeep...Love the vids guys.

2 things i would do differently 1) instead of Teflon tape id use a thread sealant. Liquid or jell like. The tape can give the wrong torque on bolt what may seam to be right but the bolt has too much resistance. 2) sparkplugs, they are NGK in video. They work. But wrong temp rating. And these 4.0s just run champion or autolite better. I wouldn't put anything else in. Besides that great job! Loved it. Very good at focusing on key points of the process that most people question there first time doing a head gasket.

You guys are fun, and love Cherokees. Subbed.

God bless Chrysler for making this one of the easiest head gaskets to replace

I wanna see you guys offroad that beast

After watching this the job doesent intimidate me anymore. thanks

That intro alone got me to subscribe!

Two seconds in I subscribed 🤣🤣💪🏾💪🏾well done

Those donuts looked good!!

Great film make it look so easy

One of the best ones by far

Another great video dudes. you guys need to have a tv show.

Great work my friends.

you are killing it guys, cheers

You guys are great!!!!!!

Good evening Pabst Boys' I was wondering when y'all pull off the head on jeep xj. Did you have to take it to a manufactured? I'm working on my 93 xj and my friend keep thing that if I pull the head is going to warp. So after y'all pull it off and properly put it back on and torque the bolts down did head warp?

Great video

You guys actually helped me a lot thanks

Awesome Vid

What year is this mine don't have the exhaust manifold on the side mine is a 99 4.0l Power tech in a Grand Cherokee.

AWESOME! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS!

Hi, cool video. In case of head gasket failure, any need to fear hydrolock by engine coolant??

instant sub

thanks...getting ready to do that to one of mine..very helpful..

Is it recommended to replace valve stem seals? My gasket kit came with some new seals.

I saw the intro and immediately pressed the subscribe button.

i have a 98 jeep cherokee an just changed the head do i need to set the values on it or just put rocker arms on an twork down to 14 pounds

You guys are awesome.

to be able to put the rods of the rocker arms do you have to put the engine on time?

As funny as this video is it's saving my life right now so thank you lol

Thanks super info.. I gotta tackle this..1st time..

Darn the link for the intake vid isn't working and I can't find it on your channel. Great video! Very informative and hilarious. Ya'll are awesome!

Just finished and when I started her up she ran up to wide open throttle. I think perhaps the intake is not on correctly. Any tips?

What tool did you use to scrape the old gasket gunk off? And what sanding sponge what grit? At Walmart they have medium and fine. I'm assuming fine grit?
