uh oh, whatcha doing to the jeep?

 

I'm lowering the Jeep. Taking off the Crown springs and putting back on stock wrangler springs. About 2" diff in lift, but it was too tall anyway. I gotta get some bushings today from Perry hall power on the way home.

 

tires gonna rub with those springs?

 

No the tires won't rub, with the SPOA and 1" shackles i still have about 6.5" of lift, with the Crown springs it's about 8.5".
Anyone have a M12X1.75 bottom tap Travis could borrow this weekend? He needs it for his block.

 

hey scott how much to ship a block and head to NC zip 27360?

 

I need a weight and is it in bound or out bound from here?

 

i have no clue on the wieght whatever a bare engine and head together wieghts and it outbound

 

Hey Bobby i talked to Ernie yesterday, i asked him about the DOT stuff and he said nothing new has been added this year. So joe blow shouldn't worry. But for commercial haulers the rules apply.

 

gotcha, im out of commercial 14,000 a year for insurance they can kiss my rear. still gonna have my dot number though just no motor carrier

 

well the h2 cam came into day so the last things needed before i pull my head is springs and head gasket.

 

Got the head off, now to just reassemble and upgrade.

 

Not a bottom tap (assuming you mean not tapered at the beginning) but I do have a M12x1.75 if that helps at all.

 

i have a bottom tap M12x1.75

 

Well I have good news and bad news. I got the head cleaned, block cleaned, bolt holes tapped (used my m12x1.75 #1 tap). Went to change the valve springs with the valve spring compressor I bought at sears, no luck. It can not get the whole spring to compress so I can not get the retainers off to swap the springs. I have the proper tool on the way but it won't be here for a few days, hopefully I have her back together and broke in by the buck.

 

Wow!! Busy busy busy peoples.

That sux Travis. I hate it when your so close and some minor glitch brings it all to a screeching halt. Good luck on the completion I have no doubt you'll get her done.

Here's what we did today...



Packed it down and hauled it home.

Peace
