I purchased a 1995 jeep wrangler rio grande edition jan 2003. It had 103,000 miles on it and is in great condition. After about 6 months I started to hear a cold engine knocking in the 2.5l engine. I had mechanicls check the lower end and all looked good. I also replaced the oil pump, lifters, pushrods and rocker arms and the noise is still there until the engine warms up.
