LR2

The 2.8L “LR2” V6 is widely considered to be an awful engine, and anyone considering purchasing a vehicle with one should swap it out right away with a GM 3.1L or 3.4L engine of the same era (if not something more modern); GM actually sells official kits to perform this swap.

Any Comanches or XJ Cherokees with this engine may want to consider putting in the AMC 242 4.0L I6 instead, which is much more reliable and much more powerful.
