The 4.0 inline 6 was bulletproof.
I had a 1986 cj7 4.2 literally blow a hole in itself and dump all of its oil to the ground and keep on trucking.
Drove it to the next exit, parked it for the night at a hotel, and it even cranked up the next morning to get lined up for the tow truck.
Three grand later I had a brand new engine in it.
When you have enough slop in the bearings, it won't seize up immediately.
Lucas oil is also a miracle worker for older engines
