Things for jeep;
'94 XJ ceiling console lights work but need re wired.
'94 rear sway bar
'94 rear hatch panel (the plastic with carpet thing)
Brown Dog Motor mounts (brand new!) I just got these in the mail last week and they are just sitting in the box. But I need the money more then I need the mounts. Asking $85 for these as they are still brand new. You just don't have to pay shipping or wait for them to be made.
Then I have a bunch of other stuff from around the house that my family is getting rid of.
Who has two thumbs and needs a motor THIS GUY ......I'm so pissed but now I can do what I've been wanting to do .... Swap my motor with a beater and build mine from ground up can't wait I say 3 weeks max and she'll be back on the road ...oh and how I did it .... That stupid intake That I thought was so cool well the air filter must have went cockeyed and sucked a ****load of sand I have like less that 60 psi in each cylinder FML
Is that cold or hot engine? was the throttle opened up? Heat makes all the parts expand to fit and seal. Have you tried cleaning the engine out? Running a ton of carb/ brake cleaner though the intake and running it, sea foam, and if you are feeling dangerous water cleaning. Iv had engines drink sand, mud, water, and so on for a long time and still go my last Toyota was hydro locked upwards of 7 or 8 times while I owned it and that had well over 300k on the engine. It still ran and was drivable. If it was a hot engine ready to go I would start with scoping the cylinders and looking and the walls and the valve seats. Could just be dirt on the seat not letting them seal
