Looking great. I miss my old WJ. Hope to make my way out to CO at some point next year.

Me too.
Glad I got to keep it around. Hopefully it will remain trouble free from here on.

Nice. You will be able to pass this on to one of your kids someday. Kudos

Congrats on the swap. Having the garage space sure is nice. All my life I've always had one to work in so I don't know any other way.

Good deal. I got a shipping notification and should get a pile of parts on Wednesday. We should be able to get a run set up before Halloween.

Lol.
Thanks.
The thought did cross my mind.
Thanks. Indeed it is.
Me too.
Good to hear. Can't wait to see yours done.

Well, I found the crack. If it wasn't for a sliver of rust near one of the cylinder's fire ring areas, I probably would have overlooked it. The 2nd cylinder on the left bank is the only one that has the rust right next to the cylinder. And I can't clean it off with a razor. Upon closer inspection on the head of that same cylinder in the exact same spot, it is clear that coolant has been washing away the carbon. This combustion chamber visually has coolant washing away the carbon whereas the other seven cylinders form a perfect circle. Also, the intake valve on the culprit cylinder has crusty carbon and pitting and is very different looking compared to the other cylinders. So happy to have found this crack that has been plaguing me for the last year.

Wow, that's crazy... and to think you were looking right at it when you had the heads off. The Mystery is solved. Crack Kills.

That's a tough one.
Glad you found it so you can sleep better knowing that you have found the problem.
It doesn't look like much, but I'm sure when it heats up the crack opens up.
Great to see your WJ back together and under its own power. It is a really sharp looking rig, and we need more pictures of it in it's native habitat.

Glad you found the crack. Now take that thing to the metal recycler and make them crush the fucking thing in front of you!
