OK BMorgil - what is that thermostat I never can remember the part number - the one you recommended to me for the F-134 in the truck. Undoubtedly the best thermostat ever for old Jeeps...>
You may (or may not) be surprised at the number of failures we've seen here on the Forum of oil lines that are probably Chinese.....
Many guys have just gone to a local hydraulic hose shop to get...
It's at least a '51 - maybe as late as a '59, almost certainly a 4WD.
About the only spare on it I might want is a good driver's side door latch - and with that door hanging open ...??????
" I was reading a post by LarrBeard regaling us in the tale of his beautiful truck spraying oil all over his engine compartment."
"Git off the rig Luke, it's gonna' blow!"
At least it's clean...
Uhhhh ... That's a design feature guys.
Since the bolt head will act as a retainer if the pin works out, the pin really doesn't have to fit all that tightly - it will be OK.
(Yeah, sure...)
On Ham's '48 we put a fancy stress relieved steel line between the return port on the filter and the timing gear cover sump. It turned out not to be stress relieved enough; it lasted about three...
Congratulations!!!
My wife asked; “what are you doing on my stove?”
I replied; “Testing a thermostat.”
Wife; “Why?”
Me; “It’s a Jeep project.”
Wife; “Oh, I understand… .”
I started poking around looking at coolant efficiencies and I found this interesting thread. It relates to a specific product, but it gave me a better idea of how little micro bubbles could form in...
And, when I get the Robertshaw thermostat I'm going to heat it up in a pot of water with the turkey thermometer to make sure it still works - it may be 40-years old!
I grabbed one as well ... there are two left.
Well, I learned something else new today. Thanks
Now, the F-134 has much the same thermostat housing on top of the head, but with the valves in the head the head has a different profile. I've not had long term heat problems like you have, but it...
That just might be the tip of the week! Next time out I'm gonna perforate mine too
"... So I drilled an air relief in it,..."
Ok - what is this trick?
Good catch on the early spin-up.
That was mentioned in several of the places I looked. I've fooled around with these things for 50+ years and I never really sat down and realized that when the...
Here is probably a lot more than you thought you wanted to know ...

There isn't a lot in there to go wrong. In what shape is that little bronze/brass bushing that supports the end of the shaft out past the gear. If that was wallowed out, the end of the shaft might...
"What the heck?"
Yeah. Owhhhh ..
I hate to ask this comment, but there are different tooth counts on ring gears and on starter drives (I think). If there is a tooth pitch mismatch .....
Is...
The good news is that those are some of the best pictures we've seen of that deep green paint job. Really a nice color!
" ...I am unsure if you can do such a thing.. ".
Well, like most everything, you can do it if you really, really want to - but it's a lot of trouble and usually not worth it.
Google "Shorten...
While the truck was hibernating in the barn for 35 years, I got greasy and busted a lot of knuckles piddling around with this beast that lives about six miles east of me:

I had another of my "Duhhh" moments. Ask the folks at the machine shop where you had the motor work done what they recommend for your steamin' stud. They do this for a living instead of offering...
Look for little cracks ... Yuck!
Helicoil?
Don't go to magic mud in the coolant until all else fails.
