When time allots for it I probably will, I can get one from the guys at the O'Reileys across the street from where I work or my coworker.

 

WOW! Not getting any at home? Getting a little personal here aren't we?

Just for you because you don't seem to get anything unless it's spelled out explicitly.... That was an all encompassing YOU not a PERSONAL YOU.
There are other people that read this besides you, firestorm.
BTW I've never called tech support. I've been building my own computers since '87.

Again, good luck Barney.
Let us all know how it goes, OK?

 

Yes, YOU did directly address ME and MY comments in a post.

Go back to your cornflake pissing.

That's about all your "advice" is worth.

Thank you cpn. And really, how about showing the new guy that this forum isn't all about *****ing at each other when your opinions differ. Mmkay?

 

Alright finally had time to work on it a week ago. And to get more clearance between the pan and front axle housing I lifted the body by hooking an engine hoist to a motor mount via chain. Well I gained a lot of clearance but the steering linkages in front of the axle housing are still keeping the pan from dropping all the way. Have any of you guys ever gotten around this problem, if so how?

Edit: Without pulling the engine.

 

as far as I know, you gotta drop/ disco the front suspention to get the pan out

 

RUBBLE!!!!!!! yer back!

ok, this is what I did, just so's I could change the gasket.......

hooked hoist to engine, removed motor mount bolts.

lifted engine up enough (couple inches i think)

but..........in order to get pan ALL the way out.....you have to rotate the crankshaft pully/balancer with a b-bar and socket so's you can get to the oil pump and drop in the pan and slither the pan out, basically #5 and #6 have to be i think in the mid-stroke position (so the crank counterweight on #5 and #6 is up and away from the pan .

I know, I know, sounds stupid......but it worked for me.

good luck sir!

Yep sure am. So cpn, how/where at did you connect to the engine to lift on it. I haven't worked on these jeep I6's before so I don't know where the best point to lift from is.

 

Figured I'd just update this for the 'benefit' of all who posted here and other interested parties. The Cheap Jeep is up and running (yes that $40 dollar fix worked). And to commemorate this momentous accomplishment and since it rained a bunch here the past two days my brother (who helped me do a lot of the work) and I took it out in the pasture next to our home and ran it through some 'puddles' where there was water damn near to the rocker panels. Tomorrow we'll break it in some more, check everything over and make sure its all still how its supposed to be (dropped the front suspension for better access), and maybe put some lights we got laying around on the front bumper (being as there is conveniently two factory holes there on top of it already). I'm so damned happy it turned out like it did. After not being able to work on it for quite some time (college, work, and the usual all kinda put this project on hold) it finally got fixed. As my brother would say 'yeeeeaahbudddie!'

 

Good to hear it worked for ya

 

Why thank you.
