    Holy Hannah (rear main seal blew)

    The PVC valves and gaskets are all new...Even replaced them with new again after around 5,000 to make sure.

    Holy Hannah (rear main seal blew)

    With about 9,000 to 9,500 on the rebuild I did on the 1994 4.0...The rear engine seal has gone to bleeding out a quart every 50 miles. I mean it blew like a switch got flipped. I'm wondering if the Amsoil change I did with the high end synthetic 10W30 and the 20,000 mile filter that looked awful...

    Head bolt coolant leak

    I'd change the sending unit and cinch it down with a 1/4 inch drive socket. If the leak persists, I'd check into some of this.... Seen the guy's on Roadkill use it a few times....

    What did you do in the garage / driveway today?

    I installed Memphis dash speakers and saw these box ready to go back speakers and RTV'd them to the walls just in front of the tailgate... Powered by a 55 watt a channel Sony Marine head unit and it will blow you out of the Jeep Top On/Off...Kids in town ask me where I'm hiding the amp. These...

    What did you do in the garage / driveway today?

    I ripped everything out of climate control and just ran an On/Off switch to the blower and put a cut off ball valve inline to the heater core for summertime.... Put a blank ABS board over the hole and have a ton of room for the switches I'm gonna need for the new lights......

    As an old deck ape that did a ton of watches in the middle of the bounty seas I can tell you that night vision is all important... All lights should be out front and mid to low...

    Should I buy this YJ?

    See a lot of surface rust in the creases.....Have you been under it and run your hands over the top of the frame rails and body points?

    Do ECM's "Break Down"?

    OK...Went and got a middle of the road ignition coil and got it on leaving the timing 8 BTDC...Started right up, Idled like silk and took acceleration just fine... But had a flutter whenever it got up over 1500 and stayed no matter where I held it. I'm thought it was the extra eight with valves...

    Do ECM's "Break Down"?

    There was a guy that is a well known hot rod tuner that tours and races in the big leagues...Knows his stuff. I set the crank mark at 8 BTDC and then set the distributor to #1 at his suggestion. Ran great for more than several thousand miles with no issues and stayed steady at 21 MPG through...

    Do ECM's "Break Down"?

    Having a nightmare issue. When I set this motor up I was advised to set the timing advanced 8 degrees BTDC and she ran for 8,000 mile with no issues...Then she started doing this herky-jerky staggering when you would level out the throttle and try to cruise level speed. Pulled the distributor...

    Running 3.07's on 31X10.5 15's with a 4.0...Does good on the highway but really disappointing in the hills. Having a house built now so I'm kinda' caught up with stuff, But really thinking about going to a 5.3/327 Chevy small block when I get settled in to the new place....

    Fuel Additives

    Cleaning is NOT the problem....It is the drying and caustic effect of any ethanol in the petrol. My credentials? 30 plus years of transporting all forms of petroleum products from crude on up. Watched the addition of ethanol and its destructive effects on fuel systems and the extraction of...
