If you do end up pulling the head and getting an exhaust valve done it probably won't be as expensive as you are thinking it will be. I am sure pulling the head on a LJ is much easier than an XJ. I just had a bent exhaust valve and could have had it repaired and the head milled/surfaced for...

I think that is the typical efan experience, buy it, have issues, sell it. I didn't realize that Novak made a setup. That guy upgraded one of the fans too. I have spent more on stupider things... that is tempting The Dirtbound has space for 10 inch fans. looks like the Novak is 9 inch...

Yeah the aluminum sheet fan mount, it just looks like a flimsy sheet of aluminum. Good to hear that you didn't think it was flimsy.

I got one of the OEM style heat shields that comes with that kit, the one that sits on top of the intake manifold. I took it off since it seemed to trap heat at the manifold, with it off air can flow through the manifold (into the bottom of the hood...) Some guys believe that shield is mainly...

I don't think Dirt bound sells fans with the shroud anymore. For every one guy on the boards that you find that likes the electric setup you find 5 that switched back to the OEM setup. It seems like you need to spend a ton of money on high cfm fans. The Mishimoto 10 inch is advertised at...

If I am still having issues by the end of the weekend I might have to order one, It looks like the mighty vac is pretty similar. I wonder if the small radiator cap in my Mishimoto will be still work with that... Thanks

I have been able to get the cooling system to draw a little coolant from the reservoir, It only seems to work if I get the engine up over 220 degrees, then it only sucks a little bit in. In the past the first couple of warm ups it would only suck down a little coolant, then it would suck down...

Probably. I could coat the header and the first part of the exhaust pipe too.

I did get this running again, everything seems fine except I can't seem to get all the air out of the cooling system. You come across forums of people with issues getting the air out of an xj so I guess it is my turn. I haven't had issues in the past. Fill up the radiator, start the engine...

Pretty much everything is together except the parts I am waiting on, and the paint to dry on the spacer for the new temp gauge. speaking of the new temperature gauge... Here is the melted Motor mount, I have decided that this had nothing to do with the stuck valve. The stuck valve was #5, #5...

Yeah when I modified my crank position sensor I wanted it to be adjustable, it wasn't it was 5 degrees, I have now made it with a little adjustment in it, I brought it back a bit. It is really a guessing game with a timing light it doesn't stay right on the mark like timing my old bronco. I...

Ok so Clegg said that the main reason the motor failed was that it over heated. Other things may have contributed but the only reason a motor fails with less than 10,000 miles with a warped head is that it over heated. I have had 3 times that a radiator hose has come off including the time...

That is good to know, I have that sensor on my 99. I have actually relocated it to the side of a sideways mounted yellow top and haven't had any issues with it. I kind of guessed what to do with that sensor when I stuffed two batteries under the hood, it sounds like I didn't screw it up. Nathan

I have had pretty good luck with the Goodyear rubber hose, 3/8. With hose clamps and fittings you can cut it to whatever size you want. The Harbor freight heavy duty rubber hose that I bought did not hold up as well. This is both running air lines on vehicle and and hoses for around the...

Well Clegg says the head is reparable! He said it was only slightly warped and could be milled flat, but since it was warped it did overheat. I didn't get a chance to ask him too many questions, the good news was that I don't need a new cylinder head. I should have it back next week...

It has, uh "had" been overall running better than it ever has since it was built up, the outboarded rear shocks helped the handling a lot, the rebuilt transmission shifts fairly smooth for a AX15, I got the engine and exhaust dialed in so it had good acceleration, it even started getting 1mpg...

I am going to try to keep from cussing... "so what did you do on the 24th of July?" Oh I was running some errands in the jeep and long story short I had an exhaust valve stick open... There was coolant leaking from the head gasket, I never saw it on the ground and the exhaust hid it...

So since my stupid duty is giving me a p0300 random multiple misfires, that I can't figure out, the jeep has become my daily driver for the time being. The good thing about that is really notice all the things wrong with it. Well after 18 months the Eldorado Parking brake setup no longer...

So you know how a while ago I said "I should have outboarded my rear shocks" Well since I had to re-do a anti-rock mount I could drop the gas tank and do some uni-body welding. (remember to get carpet out of the way so it doesn't catch fire, remember the seat belts too.) Upper mount coming...

Um... Never... It has always gone down the road straight with no death wobble, even though the rear axle is shifted to one side about 1/2 inch. Anyway after out boarding the rear shocks, repairing the anti-rock mount, new tie rod ends, rebuilding ALL Johnny Joints, removing the hydro-assist...
