U were right not I

I were right just got off the phone with a guy about 45 minutes away with a head off of an 85 that he says is in good shape with a new aluminum valve cover for 100 bucks! Do you know how I can verify the head is what he says it is?

I hear ya. I am big into 3d archery and was really into a forum but everyone was locked in a huge competition and everyone was right and everyone else was wrong and it got old fast. I also was a member of another jeep forum ( I won't mention names) but there was no one half as nice and helpful...

I am kind of caught right now in weather I would want to put a head, cam, and lifters in (if compression is good) or just go ahead and re-ring it and replace all the bearings along with head cam and lifters. I guess I could check compression and if its good go ahead and pull the engine and check...

And I use the term now loosely I guess I should say start now rather than do it now

What would you do if it were you policemonkey161? Would you cobble it together or do it now and do it right? Does the newer head sound like a good idea to raise compression?? This sucks

Got home this evening excited to put the valve cover on the 258. I started taking the old one off and when I got to the back bolt on the left side I notices it was wet and not oil wet. I had just put radiator hoses on it the other day and made a big mess and thought it must have been water from...

I painted over por15 but used their chassis coat

That sucks. I guess I'll put it on and see if the leak even stops before I strip it again :(

I recently refinished a valve cover for my 74 cj5. I stripped and primed it and went to the autoparts store for some flat black paint. The only flat they had was flameproof. I've used it before and like the look so I thought what the heck. I painted it and took it home that evening. At some...

Awesome! Any idea if that's ported or manifold vacuum ( not that I'm exactly sure what ported means)

As If u couldn't tell by now my 74 cj5 was kinda pieced together when I got it. I got a used valve cover in an attempt to fix an oil leak. I was getting ready to put it on and I was curious as to what goes in the third hole on the valve cover on a 258. I have the pcv and oil filler cap ( which...

Yeah ground was autometers first idea they had me ground it straight to the block

I put in ballast and had the same thing! Called autometer and they said to put a 10k ohm resistor in series with signal wire. Tried that no dice! So I called autometer back and now they say I need their 30 dollar tach filter. Go figure! At any rate it's on it's way so we shall see!

U never know I haven't wired it yet! I suppose it still could be!

That's for sure! There have been a lot of things I thought were "problems" and someone else comes up with an easy solution and its an instant y didn't I think of that!

I tried to use the inclinometer yesterday and either I don't understand it (very possible) or its not an ordinary inclinometer. When it is level the needle points to 15 degrees. It is a General Motors special tool so it is likely it is made for another purpose. At any rate my 2 yr old and 2...

Ill do that and update u!!

So does everyone agree I should start by putting it on the alignment rack and check caster??

It looks to me like the shackles are longer than the brackets that attach the front end and if that is the case I would think the spring would set lower in the rear allowing the pinion to rotate downward.? Maybe not that's just the way it looks to me. Ill get the inclinometer out this afternoon!
