    Well I picked the clutch up yesterday for a ttl of 93.80, which is cool:p . Butt I got too thinkin' what else can/should I do while I have the engine out. So Im gonna do the tune-up thing, various other little engine work, prob. u-joints also. Other then doing a full frame off, is there anything else I should do? Where can I pick up an alignment tool? Should I be able too pick up the parts at like the local part store? Maybe ill rewire it. Try to get some pics up. Thanx fellas have a good one:coffee:

    Alighnment tool is good, your local flaps should have them, if the oil pan is leaking, now is the best time to replace that pesky gasket.
    Clean the motor and repaint it, inspect freeze plugs for leaks. Repaint the timing marks!!

    If you are going to do a clutch and thinking about pesky oil leaks like a pan gasket. Make the extra effort to put in a rear main seal and front seal. After all you have the hard part done pulling the Tranny and T/C. Depending upon which engine, if its an internal oil pump that is worth the money replacing as well.

    Would reseal it for sure, a gasket set is not much, heck do the freeze plugs also.
    Great time to repaint the engine bay as well. ;)

    They should be able to order the gasket set for you.
    If not try Krage or one of the other Jeep only places. ;)
    Be a good time to replace all the hoses as well.
    Have the radi cleaned out good.
