same here
well now that i had to buy this my jeep fund is about 1/2 of what it was and i couldnt find anything decent with the money i had, once i get a steady job ill prob just take out a small loan to help out
looks like a go-cart engine.
1.8 8v FTW
:thumbup
trans is off
got it on the stand and ready to be torn into, didnt get pics but there will e more updates coming soon
I’m not hatin’, just dont understand (it’s a Jeep thing?). Good luck with the project.
thanks dood
I strongly suggest you invest in one of these:
yeah i might grab one on my next trip to GAP im sure theres gonna be more parts im gonna need
heres my update: started to tear into it last night at like 11 and didnt get to bed until about 5
cleaned up the shed a bit to get the motor in there to work on it
took intake mani off.
exhaust manifold
valve cover and upper timing cover
yikes 1’’ of play on the timing belt, suprised it had’nt jumped
remove alternator and V-Belt
TDC mark, i also pulled the #1 plug and looked at the distributer to make sure
remove water pump pulley
take off crank pulley
remove lower timing belt cover
loosen tensioner and remove belt
removed the oil pan and head
parts/tool pile so far:
top end gaskets
head studs
water pump
shif linkage rebuild
tensioner tool
oil pan gasket
timing belt
honing tool
ring compressor
LOTS of degreaser
when i took the head off i found that the cylinders were glazed pretty bad so that means i gotta hone the cylinders, which means i gotta take the pistons out…which means the rings would have to be replaced and also the rod bearings, and if i did all that i might as well do the crank bearings and if i did all that i might as well just get the gasket kit for the bottom end and do it all
tomorrow im bringing my ported and polished head to the machine shop to get it shaved, im picking up my parts to re asseble the motor
so tonight and tomorrow the plan is to strip it down and get the cylinders done so i can start as soon as i pick up the parts
flush that coolant system good and run the correct G-11 coolant. not that napa jump off.
is that the tensioner tool GAP sells? ill trade you a nearly new clutch cable for the use of the tensioner tool
yeah i know…that bottle in the pic is degreaser not coolant
damn, industial sized degreaser. :lol
shits fuckin everywhere…might even need another bottle, and thats concentrated so it has to be mixed haha
dropped the ported and polished head off to the machine shop to get shaved…should be done tomorrow, also my bottom end parts will be here
tonight im going to continue dissassembly of the bottom end and clean EVERYTHING i have taken off, including the block
looks like i might be an all nighter with a few hours of sleep in the car (slept in it last night with the top back cause it was too damn hott in the house
how many fat girls you think you could get in there?
3 in the back and 3 CP in the trunk
