As it slowly drives you mad! Haha one of the things that pops up in conversation from time to time. The difference between a "Driver" and an "Owner". The driver wants it to go and doesn't hear...

Whatever it takes Mark! I have never heard of breaking in the alternator bearings but if it works!

Ha the darn belt!

The next time if you suspect a belt is making noise, rub a little bar soap on it wherever you can touch it on the side. It wont take much. If it shuts right up you found the...

Where does that shoe drop from?!?!? I would like to cut off the head of that snake!

Very good to hear Mark! The 3B forum and the 3A forum, as well as the g503 forum are all excellent sources. I will say on the 3A L134 it is much easier to set the valves on the engine stand! It is...

Yes mark it is possible the distributor is so worn that it is causing the dwell to vary and misfires may be occurring. The thing to look for is side to side (axial play) that would allow the points...

OK Mark at least you know what you are dealing with here. The weak spark can only be a few things. You have eliminated a lot. What is the resistance across the closed points? I also noticed you...

Mark, put an ohm meter on the negative wire to the points from the coil. Wiggle it around and pull on it and such. Make sure it isn't broken, making a bad connection or corroded away inside under the...

Wine and those women......

Mark, make sure there is a solid 12 volts at the coil when you are doing your checking. In other words make sure there is 12 volts (or 6v in a 6v system) at the coil...

Shes trying to come to life! Sounds like your almost there Mark. Good catch on the condenser short.

Haa I did the same thing on mine Mark. Had it snug as a bug in a rug and then spotted the oil filter bracket. Da** it!

Head gasket re-torque was a priority in the old days, is still a good idea...

The head bolt also provides a location for the head. The shank portion on head bolts is machined larger so the fit is tighter in the head. This helps keep the head close to its proper alignment along...

Whoops missed that on the first link. I thought it was a full set. That is the "Infamous" bolt you have spoken of before Larry! Often forgotten on disassembly and assembly?

Since you have the F head those are correct. KW has new bolts and the second link you have is for New Old Stock. If you would have had an L head however, never use a bolt.

NEVER use head bolts on...

To install a seat you use an insert cutter and cut out a large area for the hardened insert. If you can you freeze the insert and warm the head to install. Sufficient press fit on the insert is...

On your way now Mark! Are you going to cut the existing seat or put in an insert?

Mark here is a link to a fellow on the CJ2 page. He did a good job here. This is a L head but your exhaust will be the same.

Mark how far you go with it really depends on what you want out of it, how long you wan it to last, and how much you want to spend, in no particular order. If you are going to keep it and you want it...

Every now and then gm! It sounds like Grampa had plenty of smarts to know if the compression was still there in three cylinders, and the cylinder was still in good shape, why not. Back in the day...

No such thing as a dumb question, and I will tell you I have read stories. I have read of a person who was going to do one valve in an assembled engine. There are tools out there to do it. I would...

I don't think you will find a machine shop that is going to fix just one. Its off to the shop for a valve job. I would agree with gm, a new set of hardened seats and some stainless valves and new...

Just a dust cover Mark. It is not shown on the illustrations. I am guessing it was added later. Probably a service fix for crap getting in there.

I never get to use my horn because by the time I...

Cindy knows I care.

Either will work. There are two in there because two different ones were used depending on the serial number. It doesn't matter which one you use as long as you used one.
