Engine rebuild coming up...what do I need?
I'm preparing to fix an engine i'll be receiving in a week or 2, and I was wondering, what do I need to do it in terms of tools?
The following is what I've been told is wrong with it:
The following is what I've been told is wrong with it:
“ You WILL need an:
Oil pump
Valve cover gasket
Rear main oil seal
Oil pan gasket
Either an oil pressure gauge or sending unit
Compression on all 6 cylinders are as follows:
READINGS FRONT TO REAR
1. 120
2. 130 Plug wet w/oil
3. 130
4. 130
5. 125
6. 105
I believe that #6 has a bad?? rod bearing in addition to shot rings. “
I have the engine in my Jeep that as far as I know has nothing more than a blown head gasket and cracked block, so I can cannibalize parts off of it. That being said, I'm extremely new to this whole " self-educating-mechanic " thing, so I'm sure I'm missing something big. Could somebody please be so kind as to fill me in?
