swapped on a different orbital and now its about 4 turns lock to lock which over runs the pump volume at idel if you try to crank the wheel fast.  I think its tolerable though and way better any driving speed. 

got a front grill put on today also.  probably ready for another wreck wheel trip if i ignore front tire clearance and some rotational clunk i hear now in low range.

cut more unibody and tin out of the front inner fenders and pounded more room for the 40s.

almost looked at starting an engine / trans pan skid which will be needed for any real wheeling.

And you don't have to do it in your kitchen with a grinder any more!

broke down the one Krawler that was going flat in 3 days after bubbles showed 3-4 spots on inner bead and leaky valve stem.  new valve stem and dumped in a gallon of slime.  see if that improves.

Mine were leaking really bad, 9+ spots just on the outside. I used gemplers ultra seal stuff and it's been holding pressure for a month now.

3rd time mowing with a pinhole and slime, my mower tube finally sealed up.

I got some rim dressing to help the next time I have some bead corrosion. Maybe I’ll be able to avoid a few tubes.

Hope it works.

had an awesome day of wheeling and was loving this thing.

we stopped, then i took off, and #6 blew out the side of the block.  chunks of cam shaft, connecting rod, lifters, and block casting chunks on the ground under jeep.  restarted it and drove back to camp on 5 cylinders.  it started today and drove into the barn also to its resting spot. 


bah!

In my years, I’ve seen many driveline parts scattered but this would be an impressive first for including camshaft sections!

I commented on FB too but I think the cam was just collateral damage from the rod ejection. I hope you take the head off just as a postmortem inspection... I'm curious what you'll see

im sure any evidence is destroyed as to what locked the piston


sure wasn't lack of oil or coolant, as it still runs fine with no noises minus the block hole


o well.  Probably stealing the 4.0 sitting on chips floor that came out of Pauls XJ that got scrapped years ago and has been sitting when i feal like dealing with it
