[QUOTE="BroBrad, post: 426889, member: 19106"] I’m new to the Jeep world. I have been a diesel/truck guy doing conversions and alternative fuel stuff! I built project with both of my boys that they still drive. My 20 yr old daughter has always loved jeeps. I picked up a 1995 wrangler that I’d literally totally disassembled for a rebuild that never happened. He did put new tires on it that are now rotten lol. All of the bolts are bagged and if you are labeled, but they are rusty. I am looking to buy a crate motor and rebuild it from the ground up. I am curious about the stainless steel bolt kits that I have seen on the web. They are stainless and a bit pricey. Does anyone know of a carbon steel or OEM sort of kit for bolts? Also I am open to any and all advice you might have as we begin this build together. The Motor was disassembled as well. He did leave the pistons on the crank and unfortunately the two center pistons had water stand in them. I managed to brush them pretty good and let it stand with WD-40 soaking a while . I was able to get it to eventually go through complete strokes. It might be alright with honing and some rings. He said it was a drunken decision to tear it all down for some upgrades. It was running when he tore it down with 183000 miles. So, I will likely just go with a long block crate motor. Bolts are bagged and labeled... sorta. It'll be a fun project. Any points or help much appreciated. I'm going to read the stickies and explore. I do need to get a pretty complete bolt kit due to rust on the stock ones. I have found some stainless, but they are a bit pricey. Any leads on carbon /oem kit would be great. [ATTACH type="full" alt="8C3A6719-81A0-428B-9002-99C6B2BDB0E1.jpeg"]116283[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
