Looked like it was coming from the exhaust manifold and the Valve cover area. Wonder if she toasted the motor! Lol.
Man, I don't know if you're single (and maybe even if you're not) but that sounds like fate. C'mon, blue XJ overheats in front of your place? While you're working on your XJ. Soul mate.




Anyways, I finally got a non-leaky, full drain plug functional trans pan back in my 91 AND I didn't have to swap the upper dipstick tube. PB worked its magic. Thing pulled right out when I got there this afternoon.

To make sure it didn't stick again I dremeled the rusts gunk out, and dabbed some grease in there. I put a new filter in there while it was open. Now onto the bigger stuff.

Finally after what seems like forever I ordered my programmer to do a custom program on my PCM for the Stroker. Also ordered a Digital AEM wideband and a Digital AEM trans temp gauge along with an A pillar gauge pod.

Wrapping up my Stroker project which has taken almost 2 years and way more money than I ever planned on spending... I just want to drive the damn thing!

I feel your pain. Is this where the saying "cubic dollars" comes from?

Got the engine I bought put in a couple days ago. It started up on first crank and ran great. Quieter than my old one and so much smoother. Took it for a drive and blew a freeze plug. Put another in and she's been good for a little while now.

I laced on a steering wheel cover and gave the rest of it a good vacuuming out. My daughter owned this for several years and went to the beach often and brought back a lot of it in the back.

Went to the river to go swimming and was playing music with the hatch open. And some (select few words) guy driving a tank truck decided to get to close to my jeep and ripped the back gate off my jeep...then just left!!! Thankfully there were witnesses that saw where he went!

I found him and it was all I could do to keep myself from beating him within a inch of his life. Plus my three friends were holding me back. But I called the cops. They came out and wouldn't do anything for me because I was supposedly parked in a no parking area....so I'm just gonna try and fight him through insurance. It was a pretty s****y day.

Thats f!cked up! I woulda said screw it and beat his a$$. It was a vehicular hit and run no matter where you were parked. As well as careless and reckless driving could probably throw a bunch more violations on that driver as well... I think that cop just gave you a line of bull ****

Sorry to hear this. Hopefully everything works out, people suck.
