check the distributor shaft bushings for sideways wear.

sounds like either the clutch fork is worn allowing the pressure plate to contact the fork when disengaged, or the springs are shot in the pressure plate allowing a distorted unsquare travel. it may also be a worn throw out bearing/pressure plate contact surface throwing the fork beyond travel...

quite right. if the starter motor won't spin with a full 12v, then you have an eggshaped bearing on the starter shaft allowing the armature to ground. make sure the bendix isn't jammed and engine is free it's most likely just a bad connection on the big wire and won't pass the amperage. the...

$300? I saw them somewhere for around $80 new.

term clarification. "blow by" is when the rings are worn to excessive gap or stuck in the ring grooves not allowing them to expand against the cylinder walls, or cylinder walls are scored/gouged allowing compression pressures to "blow by the rings" into the crankcase...oil becomes prematurely...

do a compression check to see how the valves are seating. you want all the numbers within 10-15% of each other at the worst, and ideally all close. that's high enough milage to have carboned seats. a compression check will also show a cracked head and/or head gasket fault, and ring condition...

loads up like in carboned plugs? low compression will mimic rich mixture. as will retarded timing to some extent. make sure all the jets and orifaces are clear...and jets are tight. a float not floating at the right level can act rich. if they're brass check for pin holes. shake them and...

next hot start, drop 1/2 teaspoon of raw gas in the intake and see if it hits...if so, it's fuel delivery, if it doesn't hit, look at spark and do a compression check to make sure you don't have a temp expansion thing at the valve seats giving lower compression. (I'm assuming this is hydraulic...

my kingdom for a sandblast zombie/slave... I'll supply the equipment, hat, and glasses. every winter we get county salt sprinkled on frames like the french fry guy at McDonald's has the palsy. I did a 56 flxible bus complete awhile back and thought I had this stuff out of my system for good...

thanks girls. a frame isn't the problem when vendors smell money...getting the right one the first time is tricky weeding thru the smiles and propaganda. we even have a 60 year woodsy Corwin Jeep with wide roots chysler just lifted a franchise off this summer...I do need to hang with jeep...

thank you steelheads...glad to meetya I don't see much response to either post of mine other than your sole courtesy (my being new) does this site speak english? I'm wondering if all the hip guys with tools are slinging wisdom elsewhere?... and I'm sitting in the rain at the wrong bus stop...

I'm seriously leaning towards replacing the frame on my 95 YJ restoration/rebuild. the Jeep is torn waaaay down and parts are getting sandblast debris all over my driveway. I've seen a montana outfit, and some others, mandrel bent my preference is a stock mimic with all the mount points ready...

normally I would skip this page, thinking the less clutter the better, but social decorum demands intros least one make a faux pax. I was born in Eisenhaur's first year of office and raised a family before computers, they got fed while I held up the heavy corner, thus, I now net-blunder just as...
