    My 1995 Jeep YJ Rio Grande

    The cylinders look very good! They have very little wear for 150K. The camshaft and crankshaft are also okay. The oil pump was full of the brown creamy slime that the oil and water mixture tuned into after 5 years. Even though it was pumping the new oil I put in the engine it still had water...

    You were right about tearing it down! After I removed the exhaust and intake manifold it was apparent I needed to remove the head to see what was the condition of the block. After removing the head, the engine block turned out to be okay. I cleaned the piston walls with royal jelly. The crud...

    My 1995 Jeep YJ Rio Grande

    I just recently purchased this Jeep from a neighbor for $500. It was originally her father's vehicle and it only has 150K miles on it. It hasn't been used or run since 2016 and it needs a ton of work because in August of 2016 my neighborhood flooded badly. The motor had about 3 gallons of water...
