I certainly hope that none of you have to replace your engine like I am having to. If you are hearing the start-up rattle, go ahead and plan on changing your oil/filter. New filter should keep the oil from draining back into the engine while sitting overnight.
Man, I am becoming more and more disillusioned with the whole Jeep thing. After having my TJ stolen, and now this whole JK engine fiasco, I am thinking maybe I shoulda just bought something else. I have been driving a Jeep product (ZJ, TJ, JK)for the past 7-8 years, but right now I really don't see myself owning another one.
Somebody better talk me off of this ledge. The view is looking pretty good up here .............

Don't look that up............NASTY
my jk decided to start up with a racket this morning as well. I'm on borrowed time until mine winds up like anthony's (minus the hemi). These engines have a serious oiling issue. Oh well
as far as the whole twit/twat thing, I don't really care as long as its pink in the middle.
Example of a none pink one, Google "blue waffle" but not at work and trust me you have been warned. If you don't vomit, your a better man than I.
