What did you do to your jeep today?
It's alive... Seems appropriate today of all days. Cranked it with the coils unplugged and the fuel pump relay pulled. About four sets of three 10-15 second cranks per set. let it sit about 10 minutes between. No "bad" noises during the prime. Plugged everything back in and it fired right...- 02blue

What did you do to your jeep today?
Finally got to use my home made crank damper installer. Worked like a charm. Everything else is installed, fluids are filled. Waiting for battery to charge before I crank prime it. Couldn't figure out how to prime the 2nd tensioners. Once I get some oil up there, then we'll go live and see if it...- 02blue

What did you do to your jeep today?
The saga continues... Close but no cigar. Nothing bad. Put everything back together except AC comp and Alternator. Had to leave them off so I could access the damn damper as I call it. I had planned to tap it on enough to thread the bolt but just couldn't bring myself to wack it with a BFH. So...- 02blue

What did you do to your jeep today?
Installed both heads after much surface cleaning. Torque angle protocol is a PITA. Tough to use the gauge with the cams in place. Replaced 2nd tensioners and arms since one had a crack I didn't notice until reassembling. Advanced had them in stock! Guides were solid. Checked and double checked...- 02blue

Front Brake Pads / Rotors Question?
I've been schooled again. :icon_idea: I knew ceramics didn't work well in the cold and could be noisy (mine are) but didn't know about the overheat. Guess that's why I've had trouble with rotors on the KJ, while my 98 Ranger with 143k and semi-mets still has it's original rotors.- 02blue

Source for rebuilt heads?
Picked up my cleaned and resurfaced heads from the machine shop. Found a shop about 5 miles from my house that cost 125 bucks for both so I'm happy. They look great now and he said they were warped but not too bad. This shop will also rebuild both for less than 300 not including any replacement...- 02blue

Maybe TJKJ will chime in but I plan on changing mine when gas no longer flows. Sounds like too much of a pain the first time you do it.- 02blue

Front Brake Pads / Rotors Question?
I have Raybestos Ceramic now and they seem fine. I've also used Akebono and EBC (greenstuff) without any problem. They all stopped fine. My trick has been getting good rotors. The Napa ultra premium are the best. I've tried "inexpensive" ones (name brand) and even tried drilled and slotted EBC...- 02blue

What did you do to your jeep today?
Got my secondary TC tensioners and headbolts. They were waiting for me by my door when I got back from Albany. Maybe some day I'll get the KJ back together and be able to drive it the 380 miles up there.- 02blue

Source for rebuilt heads?
BTW Tom, I've seen this pattern from you in other threads. I'm beginning to think you may have a bit of a hoarding issue. :signs8: :laughing1: Probably just too much to do and too little time like me.- 02blue

That does make me feel a bit better but still a bummer. Yes this is true, very expensive equipment.- 02blue

Source for rebuilt heads?
I'm pretty sure I'm going with the "clean and shave" for now. 250 for the pair. I don't think mine are bad enough yet to warrant that much of an investment. If I was rebuilding the whole thing like JeepCoMJ that would be a different story. Good to know the Advanced heads are a good source...- 02blue

Source for rebuilt heads?
Thanks, I hadn't really considered them in the past cause couldn't find any reviews but sounds pretty good to me. That bad valve seat thing seems to show quick in a rebuild. Why can't we get a decent radiator for these things.:whymewhyme:- 02blue

Source for rebuilt heads?
The CHI heads are complete bolt on too for 325. Seems like a big operation but who can tell anymore. They have >4000 reviews on ebay and they all sound glowing. There is no core fee as long as you send your old one(s) back (prepaid shipping) within 30 days. Mine are already off and sitting on...- 02blue

Transmission Filter
I've heard you can get a dipstick from an 06 and it will work.I think there is some goofy special tool that is a glorified dipstick that cannot be left in. Other than that I'd just drain, measure and refill with fresh stuff with whatever volume you drained.- 02blue

HG woes, Exhaust manifold clamp!
Not terrible to do but I wouldn't do it unless necessary. If you don't "untorque" the head correctly you could warp your functioning head. Replace the bolts too. My FSM says you don't have to if they aren't "noticeably" stretched but they are TTY and so should stretch a bit. Mine didn't...- 02blue

'02 Limited w/ bad exhaust drone
I'd like to hear that one. I thought about doing that for my Ranger but chickened out and stuck an inexpensive Dynomax system (2.5 inch, w/ hi flow fully welded muffler) on a month ago when my 7 year old Heart throb dual system finally rusted through. Dynomax was way better than I expected and...- 02blue
