Well success has been had this week! Re n re'd some rod berrings on the 4.0l in my heep and swapped oil pumps with a newer one off a junker.. 35 lbs at idle while hot running 15w4! Happy with the results of a little hard work! Easily done cause of all the lift in her! Time to start driving it again!

Well tackled this after the kid went to sleep tonight. Got all the tolerances up to minimum spec of .003 on my rod journals.. crank was close to being fucked! Well it is but I did a quick polish and thats all its getting.
Every rod bearing had the babbit worn right off! Jo wonder i had 0 lbs of oil preasure at idle!
Cant wait to havemit back together!

Well been picking up odd jobs doing mehanic work, wheel bearings and breaks in a 2003 ford f350head gasket on a honda, timing belt on a hundi. Lower control arms on a pt cruser.. thats just this last month.. so i decided to tear into the heep to rid myself of that bottom end knock... got the oil pan off after removing my new exaughst.. and thats about as far as i got this weekend... gonna try to get some time in the evenings over the week to look it over... can already tell the timing chain is sloppy.. good thing ive got a couple donor blocks... one had a decent timing set in it.. trying to find out how to check an oil pump for tolerances...
