So I did some poking around today under the hood, oil looks fine and I can crank it over by hand so I'm just gonna clean up the cylinders best I can, slap the head back on and put it all back together. Get it running and see how it runs and if it goes down hill then I'll look for a new motor.

Bled the front brakes. Passenger side blew chunks. Thought the bled screw was close so I use the brakes to try stoping and it blew what ever that was in the caliper out and sprayed the fluid all over the tire. Pushed it to my buddy's with the Cherokee. Finally out of the back yard getting ready for its maiden voyage to my buddy's.

The parking brake cable is broken where it connects to the brake mechanism. So I ordered a cable through napa for 27 with a lifetime warranty. Everyone else was cheaper with a 1 year. So I spent the extra 10 dollars and got a lifetime warranty.

Bled the rear brakes and the clutch. The fluid in the clutch was bad. Got the front end back on and the cylinders are starting to clean up.

Injectors, ac pump, power steering pump are back in. Threw a battery in it to find a bunch of blown and melted fuses. So far I've gotten brake lights, turns, gauges, upshift and brake light in the cluster. Gonna figure out why I only have high beams. There are no parking lights or low beams. Also gauge lights do not work. Now do Manches need the clutch pushed in to start? I hear no change in relays clicking when turning to start with clutch pushed or not.
