Don’t do it this way. Just do one at a time.

Rear right after new leaf springs. Don’t worry, it’s not that tilted to the front. The camera didn’t really capture that.

This is my drain. I watched it for about 3 minutes and only 2 drops came out, yet water was still coming out of the frame rail

This is the engine bay before anything was removed. Took a few more for reference when I put everything back together. It really looks like a rats nest

I actually like how the suspension sits without the engine. I guess this is what my Jeep will look like when I put 3 inch lift coils on it.

And this is the engine bay with no engine or trans. It’s still a rats nest, and I plan on pulling the entire engine harness and repairing it.

You can see the date on here, 9/20/11, which I’m guessing means the block was made on that date? I’m not sure if a machinist put that there to let someone know it was rebuilt or work was done to it? My boss seems inclined that it’s just a reman block. It would make sense because the head has more rust in the water passages than the block does. Can anyone tell me more info about this?

Got most of the outside disassembled. I was planning on pulling the head today, but I need a 13mm 12 point socket to crack the outside head studs loose

Parts that I’m saving are over here. There’s another pile that has the radiator hoses, water pump/thermostat and housing, all of the gaskets, the balancer that’s broken into pieces, and the clutch and fan that are all getting replaced.

As you can see, nothing out of the ordinary it looks like. I might be wrong, as I don’t pull off enough heads to know what looks out of the ordinary

You can see where the lobe has is actually flatter. I haven’t measured lift yet, but I’m pretty sure this cam is done

The distributor drive gear is really worn down. My boss said that was the source of my noise, and my slight misfire

Nothing remarkable here. The pistons must be standard sized, because there’s no markings indicating any kind of over-sized pistons being used. (Side note, I thought there would be more area between the cylinders, so I’m probably only going to go 0.0010 over, if even that.)

These are the main bearing caps. They all show the same groove wear that you’d find from dirty oil. I did see some slight “bent crank wear” on the middle bearings, so I’ll more than likely get a crank with the bearings included

Rod bearings show the same type of wear, but thankfully I don’t see any signs of a bent rod on any of them

This engine looks so small when it’s completely stripped down to just the block
