Thanks, LarrBeard! At least now I know I'm not crazy concerning losing posts made to this thread previously. I got to questioning myself if I ever posted things or if I just imagined it.

I've done a bit of internet searching so far and I haven't really found anyone locally here in the Denver area that specializes in Jeep engine rebuilds, at least on Jeep engines of this era. I'll keep looking.

Thanks for the estimate on the engine rebuild. I had no real idea how much it might cost.
