Looking into getting an over haul kit for my early model 4.0 (1991) pistons have a very slight rock& very slight play in the connecting rod caps. Thinking about getting an over haul kit but wanted to know who makes a good kit for a decent price

@Vikz808 ,

Sealed Power, Mahle, Clevite and a few more offer replacement pistons/ring sets, gaskets/seals, lifters/rockers and bearings for the OHV 4.0l.

I am faulted and have never bought a kit but I can recommend speaking with a reputable local machinist. They get parts at "Jobber" price and have the option to pass on the savings.

My local machinist goes through the local Parts Warehouse; he tells them what he is building and let's them recommend the parts based on the build's requirements. Despite this, I have always sourced my own choice in pistons for reasons specific.

Sounds good, I’ll look into what it would cost me
