So, still working on getting this block to the machine shop this week. Got the distributed out, lifters, and cam pulled. I think I I've got as far as I can go without getting the engine out. Pistons and crank are all that's left. Quick question, can I just remove the crank before the pistons...

Either one of you a part of this group?

I took off the valve cover again and noticed that a couple of my push rods were really loose. To the point that they would slide out with ease. Also noticed that a few of my valves were stuck open. So I've now pretty much decided to rebuild this engine. I've never rebuilt an engine so I'm...

Does anyone know of any jeep groups around mid Mississippi?

Removed the exhaust and tried cleaning gasket parts off of the oil pan.

Yet again, thanks for the advice. I think that is what I will do. Clean what I can, bolt everything back up. Fresh oil chance and attempt to run it. There is still a lot that I have to do before that point but i will Atleast give this 258 a chance before I decide to completely overhaul it. And...

I tried jacking it up on by the oil pan to get the bolt off. The bolt did come off but when I let the jack down the oil pan lip still wouldn't clear the motor mount. I got a 2 ton engine lift 20% off at advance because it had already been opened as a demo piece. I lifted the passenger side and...

Hey Greg. Is anything supposed to be connected to the thermostatic valve?

I did get a new one made from company called Jackson Powertrain. I feel confident that it will get the job done. I don't remember the exact price but I want to say it was around 250.

An update on my 76. It's been too long since I've been on here and too long since I've had time off of work to mess with it. I got the fenders and hood pulled off. Still in the process of trying to remove the oil pan to take a look inside. Going to pick up a cherry picker tomorrow. I have about...

Being a guardsman Blackhawk pilot, this shutdown has got us down. Our drill has been cancelled and the time I have scheduled to fly has been cancelled till it is resolved. I can live without it but the extra cash that I get from it helps fund my jeep project or pay bills off a little early. ThNk...

Still looking for some Mississippi jeepsters. I've met some interesting characters so far. One guy in Terry that stocks up and rebuilds CJ-2a's and M38's. He's fairly good at it too. I've heard of a guy in Osyka that I'd like to meet named George. I've heard that he has just about anything...

Thanks Greg. I figured a Haynes or Chilton manual would be able to show me but can't seem to find my answers in there. Since a lot of these ports weren't connected when I bought the jeep, I'm finding it a little difficult to find where they go. As well as some of the electrical but I think I've...

The yoke on the axle is fine but somehow the one in the transmission got busted up. I've already replaced it. I don't even think he has the old drive shaft. Thanks for the advice. Maybe it'll be easier to find a drive shaft for one of those rather than a yj with another SYE kit on it.

My brother had his rear drive shaft break in his 93 yj with the 4cyl and 3" lift. We are looking for another one and we noticed that he has a SYE kit on it. Anyone know what drive shaft we'll need or will we have to have one made?

This thread may have been started before but I need some knowledge as to where some parts connect to and what some are. First off is my carter yfa carb. I know one inlet goes to my fuel pump/ filter and not sure about the other. Where does it go? Next, this little valve on the lower driver...

It's a 258 and I'll have to lift the motor. If I don't like what I see or if by the time I'm all done and it's not right, I have a 304 out if my 74 parts jeep I'll put in there. I know it runs.

Going to google, typing in "aluminum slotted wheels cj5" gives much better results than "cj5 aluminum wheels". I guess they were a factory option. Is that right?

I will try to remember to post a better pic of a clean one tomorrow.

Drained the oil today. Seemed clean but I'm still going to pull the oil pan. Looks like all I have to remove is my starter to get all the bolts and it should come on out. Is that the case or is there more to it?
