The $150 Comanche
i just wanted to share some of my findings after I got my Comanche home and first starthttps://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...d729be02cd.jpgLoaded on the car dolly
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...8108c0fd99.jpgPulled nicely behind my 98 xj https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...f07aaf9cec.jpgAs soo as I got it started I noticed right away something was wrong (not surprised at all) after letting it idle for a while and the sound still persisting I decided to take the valve cover and see what was going on.... well.... it didn't take long to figure out why it was making so much noise lol |
Now I'm waiting on some new push rods lol they are supposed to come in tonight though!!!
|
Dang that's crazy! You might want to heck the lifters though too could have been a failed lifter that cause that rod to jar around and bend
|
You are correct!!! turns out the lifter and the cam wiped, the lifter wore all the way through the bottom and had a little hole in it causing the lifter to loose pressure. PLANNING ON BUYING A COMP CAM THIS WEEK!!

Give us some details on this, backstory and such. Was it a state vehicle? How did you come by a $150 MJ man!?
