This thread was floating around in the TJ forum when I was down there......so I'm stealing it.....
What did you do to your CJ today?
What did you do to your CJ today?
No picture???? didn't happenFinally put the new motor between my frame rails. All it is is a rolling chassis with a Jasper 4.2. Transmission and transfer case are going in next weekend hopefully.
Finally got around to relocating the winch solenoid out of the elements and splash areas, and ran extra wiring in the cab for remote switches. Next, remove dash, replace all the lamps and control cables.[/QUOTEi want to relocate solenoid box to under hood and control switches inside cab on dash
Rule is 10% is max between highest and lowest, so as long as in that range, you are OK. Figure 14.8 is the number, 148-15 (I rounded for easier math) means anything below 133 is suspect.Ran a compression test on the 258 for the first time since I bought her:
1 - 128
2 - 125
3 - 135
4 - 148
5 - 135
6 - 138
#2 plug has a fair amount of oil and deposits on it. I think the rings may be gone there. But compression is still decent. Any thoughts?

Don't put them on the dash, they are useless there. Seatbelted in, you can't reach them.Finally got around to relocating the winch solenoid out of the elements and splash areas, and ran extra wiring in the cab for remote switches.

I have winch controls on my center console that I can easily reach with my right hand. That way I can drive, and still use the winch controls. Comes in handy when you are laying over on your side, and need to use the winch, and drive.
Head gasket leak between 1 and 2 - ?Ran a compression test on the 258 for the first time since I bought her:

I see what you did there...Don't put them on the dash, they are useless there. Seatbelted in, you can't reach them.

I'm surprised, too, Jim. This company is a BIG seller on ebay, but they also sell on Amazon, and other sites, too.Too bad on the headlight Rich. It seems to never fail on these "upgrades" there is always a fly in the ointment. Hope the seller makes good but from the sound of it I doubt he does.
Funny.FINALLY finished my clutch replacement in the CJ5. Some caveman must have owned this Jeep at one time. Clutch lever pivot ball was missing( there are grooves in the bellhousing where the clutch arm was pivoting on), One dowel on the bellhousing was missing, one trans bolt was stripped out too. That was the nastiest bellhousing and skid plate I've ever seen. I replaced it with a LUK diaphragm unit from rock auto. Great price on the kit from them. Cleaned up the Xfer case and trans and painted them to make it easier to spot any leaks.
