How much did you lower the cylinder?

 

[Mattyo]

Squish is .022

 

[Mattyo]

Half tank through it....and a few test cuts

 

[Mastermind]

Have you ran it yet?

Just saw your last post.

Checking it cold?

 

[mdavlee]

Give it a little time if you only made test cuts.

 

[Mattyo]

Cold. ..just worried the cyl will eat itself

Get a Jeep they said, it'll be fun they said.

272xp after a thorough cleaning! Getting ready for reassembly. Might decide to throw new bearings in for the heck of it!

Grrrr....

the same 395 thats been sitting there a couple weeks. Along with my 288. Got some AM hard rubber Av mounts, but it turns out these ones needed some short M5 screws instead of the stock length. and an ms 290 that i finally started messing with, that came from @Adirondackstihl . feel like ive got it figured out, just havent finished it....

Experience has taught me what Jeep stands for
J=Just
e=empty
e=every
p=pocket

I bought my wife one 2002.If you have a 4.0 you need to run a oil that has zinc and phosphorous which alot of the oil companys don't have.Royal purple has it or you can get a additive.Lifters collapse I have a nice no rust ZJ lifters need to be replace along with the cam.

I was under the understanding that the 4.0 was a bullet proof engine. I've never had a jeep with that engine in though.



BTW, Jeep Liberty FTW!

The bottom of the lifters are flat and when oil companys took the zinc and phosphorus out it started slowly killing them.

You get the seals in that 395 ?

"Only in a Jeep"

nope, gonna get after it tomorrow. seals, bearings, case gasket, and some chain brake work. luckily for the owner of the saw, his groundies shut it off when they did.

 

[PA Dan]

I'm going to check with a local bearing place tomorrow. What should I be looking for for the 272. I believe they are 6202 am I correct?

 

[cus_deluxe]

spoke with owner of the saw and as i suspected, the saw had recent top end work, like it had been cleaned with a hone....i told him no guarantees on that cylinder, though it looks pretty good. As i said, lucky it was taken out of use when it was.
