My 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo was making a knocking sound, which according to the mechanic is a bad main bearing. He also said that because of the metal coming from the bearings, it needs to be rebuilt.
Technically I am about to graduate from high school, and this is my dad's car at this point, so I have to first off convince him not to get rid of it. If I am able to rebuild it, I may be able to keep it. So how hard is it to rebuild a 5.2l? What special tools do you need to rebuild it? How long should it take?
I don't know if I can convince my dad to let me rebuild it, but if I prove I know how (and I have some idea) I may be able to.
Last off, if I do rebuild it are there any good mods for it? I want it to be just as fuel efficient as before, if not better. I also found rebuild kit at

are they any good?
