I heard from a friend that certian model 4 cylinder jeep wranglers are known for having camshaft problems. Has anyone experianced these problems themselves or know of any that has? Any general motor problems that I should know of before purchasing. I plan on purchasing a 97' model 4 cylinder Wrangler.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
 

I have 4 little mice running in my 97 TJ:lol: It has done realy good for me the last 7 years no problems and im not easy on it... go for it..
 
The only issues I have heard about camshaflts on the 4 banger is how difficult it is to find a performance one... I used the stock one until about a year ago, and I switched (merely for performance issues; it never failed on me!) to a Mopar Performance cam (much more aggresive; no issues on that one either).
 

I've never heard of the 2.5L having widespread camshaft problems. I only know that it's hard to find performance camshafts for it, like jfrabat said. I think all you can get for the 2.5L are regrinds.

Just curious, who did you hear that from? :D
