after all washing still some oily surface...

more updates :D

have some other things going on. soon i ll update again :)

assembled inner clutch packs and put the new springs from transgo kit.

should open the valve body to drill and replace remaining springs.

engine porn :D

finally had sometime to put things back together. not all though.

cleaned up that stator and removed oil seal to replace. closed the body after 3 months :D

and now time for valve-body. hopefully won't screw things up in here.

except that last pin. cs.

valve bodies are ready. replaced the springs with transgo kits and cleaned up valve guides.

gonna drill the middle plate and close it up till the cracking.

i used toyota supra 7m-ge service specs as reference. jeep aw4 diagrams/specs didn't match on the valve body i have.

valve body mods with diagrams and marks on the plate.

the check balls re-located according to toyota diagrams.

bought new oil pump seal. FPM type. 22euros.

re-positioned check-balls in valve-body and end of story with transmission.

all set. finished with torque convertor. primed the shafts.

Neat work sms1878! What primer/top coat you are using on the parts? For example on the engine/tranny/casings etc which will be in hot conditions, what kind of primer to be used in order to keep it from flaking off after short while? I have probably made some shortcuts while cleaning/preparations prior to the painting...

Thanks in advance..

hey thanks. i ll put them one by one

engine block: no primer. cleaned with metal brush and driller then wiped with thinner. used brake caliper paint. needed a bit thicker coat.
transfer case: aluminum primer up to 220c and hot black paint up to 600c.
transmission is same as transfer case.
intake manifold and valve cover: silver hot paint up to 400c.
exhaust manifold: not painted yet but looking for vht 1300c black paint to buy.
drive shafts: applied regular primer, will use with brake caliper paint.

hopefully they will all hold. :)

i should get back to work on this if i will have time from work this summer :)

Please continue.... I wanna hear it purrrr

how about an engine swap ? :rolleyes:

have OM606.962 in yard sitting. yet tranny remains as question!

any suggestions on it? (wife wants diesel in jeep :D )

do that and gimme that engine :P

hmm, not a bad idea.. but might not happen anytime soon :D

found perfect donor for engine swap and some other spare parts to upgrade.

Great work! Super clean ��

I know that VM motors have some problems especially if used wrong but I like those more than MB diesels.
MBs are reliable and can make great power but those are too common and boring IMO.

I might visit in this month if it is ok? to see your new XJ, spending some time on cottage.

sure no problem. just stop by... :)

MB engines too common swap, I was thinking of BMW M57 2.5 or 3.0 TD engines

yet the donor car was sold. probably we will keep both of these ones, one diesel on petrol engine should be enough.

maybe sometime later, i will think about swapping again.

Sorry but I did not have time to stop by at daylight at this moment.
But I really want to see your build so I will stop by some day.
Your builds are so super clean.
