I have used Clevite Assembly lube for four decades. It is very good, and mixes with the break in oil well. There are many theories on what and when...

Okay I'm back with yet more questions... I'm nowhere near this stage yet, but I like planning ahead. So when I get the block back and I start...

Thank you, I appreciate that link, they look like a pretty cool operation. And it's cool to see someone who works with old Wisconsin engines, that's...

Its a replica but looks pretty realistic for sure. I've never had anyone mess with it, im also never far from the Jeep. Hodakaguy

Definitely not to be done without overwatch! It looks like the real deal.

And you can go into Jersey Mike's and leave your M1 Carbine on the dash. In some cities you would need to take it in with you, just in case.

Continued from above... Nothing in the cloth....perfect. And some fresh GL4 oil....

Continued from above... After a week of driving the Jeep it's time to do a break in oil change on the Trans/Transfer Case to make sure all...

Continued from above... Out for a parts run to snag some GL4 90W oil and some lunch at Jersey Mikes :-)

Continued from above....

Fixing some rattles. The rear seat has a rattle sound coming from the seats, after pulling back the cover you can see where the springs are...

Thanks Mate. Hodakaguy

Just a gasket where it bolts on '56. The advance weights and pins need to be in good shape and allow the weights to move smoothly. Most ...

Here's the start of probably many questions, haha. On the oil pickup, should there be any washer, gasket, etc between the float and the tube? I...

Wow! Pistons without holes, chips or wallowed out ring grooves..... When you start getting new parts, the project starts to get real again.

Good stuff '56! Its Christmas time for Flossy. NOS parts are the best.

I got a box of parts today!!! And I got bearings that were packaged in 1956, what a coincidence, My first NOS parts!

Well, unfortunately some lines got broken off due to the fitting being seized on the flare. Thanks, Bob, I think I'll get some of those, save a...

Your old metal lines should be pretty good, but check the flares to make sure you don't have any fatigue cracks. I had one drip at the upper...

Here is the link. They should have them all. https://quartertonparts.com/product/oil-pressure-gauge-lower-oil-line-braided-cotton-jacket/ I...

I wonder if bad rings caused the holes in the piston, there were no signs of excessive heat. Awhile back I believe there was an update on PeeJ...

Not many think about that one '56. The oil consumes space and does not compress, it is flammable and can ignite early. It leaves carbon deposits...

Thank you all for the super kind words, it really motivates me to keep going! I appreciate ya'll watching the video, I really enjoy making them. It...

Happy silver anniversary!! Hope you enjoy your vacation, I bet there's lots of cool things to see in Spain. The jeep will be where it is when you get...

Safe travels and Happy Anniversary Davide!

Great job '56 on getting your license. Of course we had little doubt in you since you've been driving Flossy plus anything else with wheels around...

Thanks Bob, I saw that link a while back and noticed the lubrication holes between the transmission and t-case when I had them apart. I've had to...

Nice job on the video, I enjoyed watching it!

Yikes did I say beer? I meant coffee.
