Thanks! working on it more :)

I can get your engine restored and painted as you want for something reasonable but you have to take it out from the car coz it is total pain :D

Thanks for offer but it's quite long way to get it there.. And after all I want learn to do that myself :)

ok if you will need help, feel free to ask anytime :)

jeep's engine is not complicated at all, just need a bit of muscles to work on it :P

That's one sexy lookin' engine these days!

Yeah! I also came to my pants:D:D

i bought new gasket recently, same as yours. I need to take head out and change collapsed lifter ( hope that cam is ok) did some research and it seems that Victor Reinz MLS gasket is same as Mopar Performance headgasket, having thinner compressed thickness than normal replacement ones and thus adds little compression, not much but... for normal ppl its not so important but i have milled head and installed that mopar performance gasget to add little of that.

I measured the block and head, they seemed normal so i didn't do any milling, just sanding (1200 grid) backed with aluminum block.

I didn't really check anything about that gasket but the guy who selling it told me to buy that one. it was 2-3 years ago :D

even a little bit increase in compression is enough :) after torquing the head bolts down, spin the crank with hand, make sure you have enough valve clearance

want more pics from different angles ?? :D :D

should find sandwich plate adapter and 10 or 13 rows oil cooler from somewhere

Theres sets with 10rows :)

i took 0.5mm of the head

been driving with that for some years allready, just now have that collapsed lifter and didnt want to spend 5 times more money for just the mopar name on gasket...

next time i also wont buy comp cams lifters... 3rd time i seei some thousand driven lifter fail.

not so bad one :)

check with these guys http://titanengines.com/

I bought the rebuild kit from them.

was working in workshop for a while and now have some free time again so back to work.

washed inside the intake but seems there is still little bit dirt left. injector seats needs little bit polishing but fine for now.

disassembled throttle body and sunk it in thinner for couple of days and did some buffing inside.

took off the tranny cover to change oil filter so on but there is some water inside :D

awesome rebuild...and that titan site was nice too :) gotta open my engine soon too to find that annoying tocking :S
i think its the bearings :S

thats the tocking :(

not sure but sounds like timing chain loose and hitting the cover.. take a thin screw driver, start the engine and check around the engine where the knocking is stronger.

or you can test the chain cranking engine it with wrench and check the distributor. if there is a delay, it is the chain.

have to check that too...easier than taking the oilpan away :)

but i think that the loudest part is between the oilpan and flywheel :S

it does have a tiny rpm drop when idling. it idles on the first line... i think between 400-500rpm but it still runs great... acceleration etc is fine..

got one TransGO reprogramming kit coming in 2-3 weeks.

l'll see how it will change the shifting.

finland needs updates :)

got the transmission re-prog kit. been busy for a while. :)

reamed out valve seats and tried to make it cross section.

tranny is going into pieces too. drum doesn't look good to me. TC needs new seal. no idea whats gonna come up.

anybody used toyota supra transmission in jeep? :D

I have heard that they used Jeep transmission in some old Supras.:D

major assembly is same with minor changes. extra clutch packs and different valve body.

4runners,pajeros, and gm trucks etc using it too. the one supra is quicker and smoother.

everything else seems ok. valves, clutches and frictions are between allowed measurements.

gonna wash them all and pack it back. should get O.D drum from somewhere.
