I was just trying to sell it lol

I would want to see what the lifters and cam look like. Is that rocker bridge messed up at all?

Both of out Jeeps got stuck in a huge hail storm (That produced a tornado). Damage was limited to the CB antenna on my XJ but it ruined my mom's WK. And sorry I have the worlds most retarded camera phone.

The hail that hit
http://hostr.co/file/970/4iEVAvm5jv2g/CAM00278.jpg
Broke off the rear winsheild wiper
http://hostr.co/file/970/lP6eBiA51LZf/CAM00275.jpg
Busted the grille
http://hostr.co/file/970/ZBg5w8EiaPyH/CAM00274.jpg
Can't see the dent in this one, but it's HUGE just above the front windsheild
http://hostr.co/file/970/P7zQgXK4yVVy/CAM00273.jpg
The windsheild itself got a good crack on the top, this wasn't even from the above dent
http://hostr.co/file/970/qXvaLiCjNRZk/CAM00272.jpg
Crackedthe fram around the side mirror and knocked the blindspot mirrior out
http://hostr.co/file/970/rYuZDmubCxeq/CAM00271.jpg
and you can barely see the dent here, bt it's another big one. These two dents are only one of... I'd say over 100.
http://hostr.co/file/970/T6NTpGw5lBmW/CAM00269.jpg
And my Cb antenna

No, the parts store only had 6 posh rods, so I didn't even ask about rocker arms, if they are as cheap as the push rods I might throw some on there just for the hell of it. Push rods are a whopping 2.69 each. I've now used half of the 6, that I bought a month ago.

5 quarts of Rotella 15-40 T3, one quart of Marvel Mystery Oil, Napa gold filter. Warm it up. Hold at 4000 RPM for 3 minutes straight.

Think that will do it? I've ran marvel mystery oil through it twice now, and it's still pure gunk in there.

But when you put it on go up to napa and get a pre made gasket then add the gasket sealer because just the sealer alone makes it hard to form a perfect, leak free seal... Learned that the hard way when my $40 in diff fluid leaked out... But the covers great!

Just use "the right stuff" on your diff covers and everything else that uses rtv and you won't have an leak problems. An let it set up sir a minute before you tighten it down.
