Yesterday, I thought about your Jeep and wondered when you were going to update us on progress. And, here we are. :-) Sounds like this was recorded last June, however. Compression seems fine? Perhaps that will simplify a little of the work that it needs?
Not really progress, just lateral movement. It's still not at the top of the list but I'm messing with it intermittently. The video was recorded in June. I forgot about it and thought folks might be tired of house videos. The compression actually surprised me. I don't know what is going on with the oil pressure. It could be the sending unit or wiring since it's electrical and not mechanical. If I can nail down the drop in oil pressure to something other than bad bearings then, yes, it will simplify things tremendously.
True. Singular focus. LOL! It could be corrosion on the valves as well. Or just sticky. I have no idea how long it sat without running. Thanks for the reminder of other potential answers to the problem.
It's running. That's the main thing! I like watching you turn wrenches better than I like turning them myself lol
Yes, it is running and better than it was. It's definitely a back-burner project.
@@ozarksethic a man needs projects even if it's a back burner one

You're stuck on stuck rings, a leaky valve train is many times the culprit
