Pulled my head, Need Advice
This is from my jeep. I am sorry, but you all are always so helpful.
The cylinders look pretty smooth. I am concerned that there is way to much carbon built up. Please realize that I had a hell of a time getting the carb and timing set. Also I have 2 distributor gears give out. This again caused timing issues. So the motor has about 3000 miles on it and most were whole I struggled to get it timed out of time. How does the head look? Should I clean it while out? If so how? ![]() How about the pistons? ![]() ![]() Also all the head bolts came out clean, except the very front driver side stud. It was all gummed up with dirty oil/grease. Why would it be messy/gummy? Thanks for the help. I am learning as I go. Thanks a ton. hope to get my new CAM in this week and have it on the road by next weekend |

Re: Pulled my head, Need Advice
brass wire wheel in die-grinder for head..... brass wont hurt a thing in the cast iron/steel valves.... could prob. clean the piston tops too....pistons look good though...
i use little scuffy wheels in my die grinder to clean all the surfaces when i rebuild bike motors(bike tech) these from harbor freight.... http://www.harborfreight.com/pack-of...scs-99983.html they have a small pack with the arbor etc.... work awesome... there will be other answers... just how i would do it myself..... good luck with your timing this time thru..... |
