I will spell it out better then because I very much started from square one on this last attempt. I took off the driver's valve cover. I rotated...
Unfortunately the site didn't post my response from Friday, but here's what happened on the weekend. Still quite stumped. This should be easy and...
I converted a 77-8# EF HEI to OF years ago (Warloch FTW). The cap and rotor i swapped on for the tune up are the same as the units they are...
I was tired of seeing oil, so replaced the cyl head , Intake Manifold (twice) and Exhaust Manifold gaskets. I also swapped in a new rotor and cap...
That was funny. I've only heard of the 25% model and they are incredible. My 4.88s drove me nuts above 50 mph, now with the equivalent 3.55s, I...
Unfort none of my auto parts store carry anything like the wiper I need, so replacing the entire arm seems to be the only solution. None of the...
I can't find any wiper blades from 11-13" that fit my 71 CJ5's arms. The arms have a flat tang with a single cylindrical protrusion to clip the...
Got the RPV (installed right direction) and the OEM MC hooked up with the rear reservoir going to the front. I did remove the factory ones (screw...
Did the swap a few years back but haven't been super impressed with the braking. Did some bedding in, measured temperatures and the outside of my...
I've also been having some trouble with erratic idle, just trying to eliminate everything. OEM spec is .004-.006" and I'm at .004 & .008. Also...
Vehicle: 71 CJ5, Buick 225 V6, HEI Rant Section: I'm sick and tired of chasing my tail on this darn machine. Seems like I get everything running...
71 Jeep CJ5, freshly rebuilt Buick 225 V6, HEI ignition, Hedman headers Location: 7400 ft Just rebuilt the engine & carb (rejetted to .048",...
Just wanted to post an update. The machine shop says everything was within spec except for the connecting rod journals. 2 only had 0.001" of...
Pistons have no protrusion above the block & have a deep dish in the center area. I couldn't figure out how that much slop could have been in #2....
Autolite #85 gapped to 0.04" for HEI distributor.
Got down to the short block last night. The pistons had enough movement to hit the #2 spark plug and take away any gap while it was running so...
Sounds like total catastrophic rebuild failure on my part. Fantastic. I don't understand how the bearings can be off so far. I'll compare new part...
Took a video of how it sounds warmed up. When the block is cold, the engine only made the noise for 2 seconds at start up; however, was still...
It's from the passenger side block. Around #4 but couldn't narrow it down with a pipe or breaker bar beyond that. Noise is constant when held....
Found out my last block had a crack in cylinder #6 [http://www.earlycj5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=86284], replaced the block, put everything...
