Days buddy days, its all going backtogether tonight hopefully.. swapping out the oil pump and timing set tonight and see if i can muster up an oil pan too!
Well success has been had this week! Re n re'd some rod berrings on the 4.0l in my heep and swapped oil pumps with a newer one off a junker.. 35 lbs at idle while hot running 15w4! Happy with the results of a little hard work! Easily done cause of all the lift in her! Time to start driving it again!
Well issues I am havi g this week include either loose wheel bearrings or worn trunions. A really shitty phb angle. Some electrical issues and dun dada Heat soaking of the fuel rail... she is going back under the knife! Getting a new PHB and mounts! An eaxughst heat shield and fuel rail heat shield along with slightly larger injectors. And I will finally break down and but the proper socket for toyota front wheel bearrings and set them up proper! Sould drive like a new jeep after all that! Be about a month or two! Will see! Pending funds.. looks like I will be gojng back to work so funds wont be so much of an issue
New injectors changed the sound of the engine, hasent run much but didnt act up like it did a while back when i had it out.
Going under the knife new front leafs gonna break down and cut n turn the rear axle after puttting in the wrong angle shims in , edit ended up bastard packing the leafs in an attempt to lower it some make it softer and keep the axle from wrapping so got half way and the other donor leaf was shot so i will have to grab another!
Well after it sitting for about a year and having only redone the intake exhaust 2 years ago i had a broken off exhaust stud. Time to get my poop in a group
Lunati cam shaft
Valve springs
Retainers
Turns out i have a good .030 block n bottom end, im just gonna run it.
Port n polish
my .030 block was no good, pulled my runner to be rebuilt. 4 hrs to pull and strip the motor, tested the block when we got to the machinist had .006 wear in the front cylinder and .005 wear in the rear cylinder. could have just just run it but the cam bearings had a ton of shit off the worn out crank embedded in them. so in it went yesterday. hope to receive a good ready to assemble block next week.
also it turns out the rod bearings were done before I did them and were replaced with babbit while the rest were the aluminum silicone alloy. a very big no no apparently.
well boys and girls, it has been a little while, time to update. my good .030 block was no good. and neither was the one I sent to the machinist to be hot tanked and rebuilt. so it was time to pull the only good block I had out of the jeep. it was in surprisingly great shape. no1 cylinder was worn .006 and no6 was worn .005 so I could have just run it.... but I had plans.
.030 over bore, crank polish, new pistons, decked block. to .030
new cam, lifters, springs, keepers, locks.
.027 thickness cometic head gasket
ported head, semi polished chambers.
oil pump, timing set,
Ended up dumping the spring and pin cam bolt for a solid bolt with the head shaved to allow a few thou end play in the cam with the timing cover bolted on. this will assure the cam doesn't walk and chew the bearings out.
machinist polished the crank to fit main bearing in spec, and over sized the rods to fit the bearings to spec after the crank was polished.
final assembly by yours truly.
installed and fired up, now this was a giant PITA. they don't tell you but the cam being ground advanced by 4 degrees means that indexing the distributor will result in a no fire situation as the cam sensor is now 4 degrees out from the crank. took out the tabs that locate the distributor in the block and had a buddy spin the distributor while I cranked till it fired yup 4 degrees out. got it nailed down, fired and started to break it in. over heating and apparently a plugged heater core. waiting on a 3 core aluminum rad and found a 3 core copper rad I forgot about. installed and ran it again with a fan shroud this time and it stayed cool. still waiting on aluminum rad. but I am ready to insure it and drive it around.
so it has been a while. new motor was broken in last october. I got it on the road for a bit but didn't put much for miles on it then. had a hiccup this spring blew the drive off the oil pump, but since replaced it and even regained 5psi at idle while hot so it is a nice and healthy 20psi at 210 degrees F. Have been cruising it around for the last month. daily driving is super nice in it. with the motor not sounding like chewbacca.
so I modified a few things, got my hands on a 60/40 split bench seat from a ranger. installed that so the wife and kid can sit upfront with me. and we have room for camping gear then got rid of the overhead console for a Rugged ridge storage console which I added my own touch to. finally trying to figure out a new shifter so its not in the way. photos to come when I figure out how to lower the resolution.
new tires! all I can say is, wow! 33x12.5 f
r15 Firestone destination mt2 my steering feels super tuned in now. they look great and are only 1 inch smaller then those half rotten 35"s for now what I really bought was piece of mind and it came with tires. cruising this this thing to and from work on sundays I just couldn't get comfortable driving on checked rubber at highway speeds. now feeling comfortable enough to take the wife and kid wheeling.
