Try Mohamed Shakil at Al Suwaidi Motors in Umm Ramool (beside Festival city Dubai) on 0506554985.

He deals in repairs and salvage/used parts for jeeps, saved me a lot of money when I had a WJ and the service was ok..

You should be able to get a complete, running junkyard engine for as little as 1000 AED.

Drive around mussafah until you see the places with all jeeps (and American cars) outside their yard :)

Thank you all for the tips.

It turned out that you really can't kill the jeep!!
Surprisingly, those straight six are much tougher than I thought and good news, won't need new engine - not even a gasket!!!- just a water pump and set of coils :)

Also should always pay attention to mechanic's diagnoses. Majority immediately conclude " oh man, it's gone, better replace the engine and will cost $$$$$ ' and then there is this one guy who says " ah, straight six, it has the cooper sh***, good engine and probably still fine, don't worry"

Yup. It's definitely a tough old mofo. Indeed the whole Jeep is a tough old mofo and mine's still going strong after 413k km.

He he. Most of the mechanics I've come across over here are absolutely hopeless at diagnosing problems. They just throw parts at the problem and hope they get lucky. Fortunately I have enough mechanical knowledge to make my own diagnoses which saves me a lot of cash and a lot of grief too.
