lol i know that feelin. whenever i toss my cherried smoke out the window. i feel like my exhaust is gonna turn into a blowtorch. i didnt smoke for the first three days i had the jeep cuz i didnt want to blow up.
i know. just gotta be careful. No problem. ahaa yeah. true.

 

stop that

 

stop what? throwin smokes out the window? lol they come back in threw my back windsheild. i watch in my mirror as it goes down the side and sucked back into the jeep thru the missing back hatch window where a puddle of water in a tarp puts em out.

 

X2! That's a great way to set your trail on fire. Especially in the dry months.

 

ll nah i dont do it on trails. i stick em in a soda can or whatever i have lyin around when im on a trail.. i only toss em out the sindow(to end up in my cargo area once more) when im on the road. but when im on highway. i cant toss em in the backseat or anywhere cuz the wind will suck em out the back. so out the window i atleast make sure they will end up in my cargo area and out by water.

 

Hey once the head is removed how do you replace the valve gaskets or whatever the kit comes with? And also should I replace the thermostat? Andddd what needs to be torched down and to what spec? Thanks! Iv read every thread I can't get my hands on but don't have a Haynes manual

 

I say go get Haynes manual before you go any further. There only about $20 and should tell you all the torque specs and what formation to go in.

 

Yeah I'ma grad one tomorrow, I gave the last one I had to the guy that bought my jeep. Didn't think I'd need it again but I dooooooo

 

Ok I'll ask some questions. Just got my 96 home today. 172,450 miles on it, auto, 4X4.....The main issue is the knock.
There's a knock in the front of the block. Also previous owner says they did compression tests and the first cylinder is 20# less than the others. Which he thinks all were near 130#.
I don't notice it running bad or anything. I've only driven it twice now. Maybe 10 miles total.

Any help is appreciated

 

First off, how much did you pay?

 

Yeah... that would be important. lol

 

The most important lol hopefully he didn't pay more than $600 for a knocking jeep

 

$500.00. From a friend. He didn't want to take on that kind of project lol.

 

I throw cherry bombs out the windows going down the trails. Makes it more of a challenge for those behind me.

 

not bad.
