Nothing goes wrong when you buy from Novak..
There kits are complete and they talk shop..
All kits and parts I have purchased from them have been top notch.. actually just ordered some Buick headers...

But be prepared to replace gears when rebuilding those trannys..  then call me because that’s where the part hunting starts...

Yeah. Tom still can’t find a part to fix the T14 in his ‘64 CJ.

Have to buy a new jack on my way home today, forgot I sold mine back in Rochester. Got me thinking if I should take out the tranny and t-case from the bottom or just remove it all with the engine. I know nothing about engine work but I did want to give the engine at least a good once over. Would mean buying a hoist and engine stand along with the jack, but thats not a huge deal.

thoughts?

Maybe a compression test before pulling the engine to determine if it needs head work or rings? Smoke could be a poorly tuned carb?

Carb is on my list to be replaced, its just the stock carter, always given me issues.

The last time I was off to go wheeling, winter of 2014 or something, I couldn't get it into gear. Turned out the entire thring was frozen solid with mud... So I want to tear them apart as I'm sure it hasn't been happy running with mud for lube

Gear wizard if you want better quality....

So, what I've thought was an oil leak is actually green fluid way back at the tranny. Didn't seem right

clean gear oil is kinda greenish. I don't think you have any of that though.

taste test
check coolant level
check temp probe
check freeze plugs

I figure I should drain the tranny and tcase before removing. Any need to drain engine oil? I've never removed this, I assume I just remove the bolts at the bell housing?

Side note, trail damage is worse under here than I recall. New oil pan needed... Mike's skid has held up well though.

Got it out, should have pulled the bell housing too, lots of rattling rusted parts in there...

Pretty heavy for a one man job. Noticed my exhaust header is cracked right where the pipes meet up so they're falling off, will need to source a new one if I keep the engine. Opened the inspection cover, didn't see any catastrophic issues, just muddy.

Engine suggestions?
