I know I'm missing a lot in parts and upgrades to the jeep. It's been an awesome project but I don't have the time to dig into it any more.
I thought the bottom end of the motor was bad, making noise and blowing a lot of smoke from the head.at this point I think it lost a compression ring and is getting bad blow by. Head and gasket are good, distributed and cam aren't wiped out. Will be doing a compression check when I can get a chance. COMPRESSION TEST SHOWS DEFECTIVE RINGS. 1-6 15,90,30,120,120,120. No metal shavings in the oil on last change.
I'm looking for 3k obo on this jeep and parts. Its worth way more in parts then I am asking. This is the jeep for you if you want to do a little work and have a bad ass ride or make some loot by parting it out. I just don't have the time.
Feel free to email me with any questions or to come check it out. It will need to be towed. you will need a truck for the spare parts too
