Excelente My friend continúe with the Jeep already suscribe,Say hello Jorge.
The passenger seat was an option. You see on the sheet it says "passenger front bucket" indicating the seat. The underseat toolbox was standard.
The rings were stuck with all the rust that locked up the pistons in the first place. Anytime an engine is seized from rust, the rings are full of junk too and will not come clean and free floating just by running the engine. That will score the cylinder walls. A smart mechanic would pull the engine and clean the pistons and rings right. And reseat the exhaust valves. It didn't sound like a good, refurbished engine. Use a wire wheel attachment for a grinder and a drill to clean surfaces. It cuts through rust and carbon without taking any metal. A wire brush on a bench grinder is good for cleaning bolts, valves and other smaller items.
You probably figured it out by now BUT the Solex carb has an "enrichener" not a choke . starting it warm will drive you crazy if you stomp down on the gas peddle before starting it . Also , just found on one of the army jeep vids , some Solex carbs have a wrong part in them . the bolt under the accelerator pump should be a one way valve NOT an economy jet . cool project !!!
A nice old jeep! And, an Eaton valve!! Nice vid.
Thanks! Its been a fun project so far. Will have part 2 up soon hopefully. Waiting on some parts yet
I wonder if premixing a little 2 cycle oil into the gas say 100:1 night help unstick the rings
never really tried that, sometime i'll do first starts on 2 cycle gas, but this i really had nothing to lose, had a spare engine for it just in case. And after it ran for a while it kept getting better and better and is still running strong. Its new owner has it on the road and its doing great!
Keep your factory carb. The idle jet and it's passages must be clear. A torch tip cleaner or a shipping tag wire can be used to check them. Clean all passages with compressed air. Also the top gasket can be touchy around the idle jet. I've reused top gaskets but never does 100 per cent. They say replace gaskets when removed.
yea i had soaked it for days and cleaned everything i could find and put a whole new kit in it which almost as much as the amazon carb. didnt even improve a little. so i was done with it at that point. extremely pleased with the other carb though. i had my doubts about it but was worth a shot.
Damn that thing was expensive in 1964! My Dad bought a brand new Impala SS in 64 for about the same money.
Yea! Lol. But the Impala value today far exceeds the Jeep
Great video, keep them coming. Looking forward to seeing some more Rust Sweat & Gears....
Thanks! Been really busy lately and have been slacking on the videos. But will be trying to wake up an old gmc field sprayer truck, and a siezed up farm tractor soon so ill be sure to get some vids up of those
I loved the vid!! When do we get an update? Thank you!
Interesting carburetor!!! More Jeep please..
Will have part 2 up in a couple weeks. Replacing the suspension, brake work, maybe some lighting upgrades and getting the plow back on and all functioning again to wrap this project up.
And yes im very impressed with the carb, might have to try more of them if needed
Nice find and a nice video I just redone a 1959 Willy’s pickup stock it was a 10 year project
The "choke" is probably an enrichment circuit. My 1981 Kawasaki is the same way, it just adds more fuel.
Nice video. I always have liked the Jeeps. I just bought one this weekend. Mine also came with a plow.
Thanks! Pretty soon ill be getting to work on the suspension, been really busy lately and have been slacking on videos
Greetings from the UK. I really enjoyed watching this pal. Is there going to be a follow up vid??
I think you forgot to lap the exhaust valves, and set valve clearances. You didn't check compression on all four cylinder to eliminate problems there. I know Jeeps! You might have an intake or exhaust leak because of the way it doesn't idle well. You still have a cylinder skip. Set your tappets ! Those four cylinder engines are so reliable when you take good care of them. Have "fun"!
didn't forget, goal was just to get it running. had another engine for it incase this one wasnt able to be unstuck, which is why we basically just did whatever needed to free it up. It ended up running very well after a few hours of driving around the property and whatnot. it's new owner has it back on the road and its running great! very tough engines like you said.
If that motor is unfixable you ought to put a 231 V-6 out of a older Buick Regal. You’ll have to put a different bell housing clutch & fly wheel plus a longer input shaft for trans plus new motor perches for frame and motor mounts.
I can’t think of what else you need right now but l’m sure there will be other parts.
Engine is all good. New owner has it back on the road now.
Your Jeep brings back very fond childhood memory of my dad's 1964 CJ5, identical to yours. The only difference I noticed was my father's metal top had oval shaped (on end) opera glass on either side of the back lift gate. I definitely got the Jeep bug from Pops, I've owned 5 CJ5s (current one is 1983, (last year for CJ5)). I was hoping to see another video of you fixing the rear springs, but evidently you sold it. I assume the new owner resolved the saggy rear end?
i had all new springs and bushings for it, it was a viewer who purchased it, and he wanted it as it was for a project. last i heard and saw it was running great and back on the road.
If I was you I would rebuild that engine valve job and the whole mess I mean it’s a 4 banger it’s not going to break the bank if you don’t I think you will regret it. Concerned subscriber.
honestly at this point i'm just going to run it. Right now its running very strong and showing no signs of failure, not using any oil, no smoke, compression now came up pretty well on the 2 low cylinders so i'll see what happens. tough engines.
i also have another good running f134 engine for it, that was originally going to be swapped in because i didnt think i was going to get this one knocked loose, but its been a big surprise so far to say the least
Good job kid!
Thanks! Its a fun one!
She’s a beut Clark. I thought for sure it was doomed when we took the sledge to the pistons. Guess it really is a jeep thing we don’t even understand
Just needed some caveman repair work haha
@@rustsweatgears4596 Unga dunga power
I can"t believe you got it that far torn down and didn"t put rings in it. Its a Jeep. You will always get good money for it.
i only had the head off, that wasnt really torn down far at all. goal was to just get it running, not tear apart the rotating assembly. running very well now after some time.
Did you ck the fuel diaphragm and vacuum diaphragm in the carb?. A pinholes either it will run like crap.!!good luck
Maybe you should have done a compression check before taking it apart to see if the exhaust valves needed to be checked...
New owner has it on the road now and its running great
@@rustsweatgears4596 If half the cylinders have a compression of 20 to 25 pounds then it sounds like it could be improved a lot.
It did improve, valves were fine
After a couple hours run time, the rings came around and compression levelled out in the high 90s. I dont have a 2nd video on it because some one contacted me and bought soon after this one. Not stating its perfect, but for being siezed up for years, it runs really well. Doesnt even smoke.
What is the round (plastic?) thing to the right of the speedometer ?
Never mind just saw it ! LOL
Hi guy, I’m considering a white top for my 64 Cj5 where are you located? Can you help me with it?
not sure how i could help, but what are you looking to know? im in north east PA
If you have burned exhaust valves it will never fix itself you'll have to take it apart again.
I don't think you'll see any year 2000 car's at car shows 50 year's from now. LoL
Time will tell! haha
Just wondering why you didn't do rings, hone cylinders, possibly new pistons, beating the shit out of them , probably broke the pistons lands, good luck
Goal was just to simply get it running, not restore it or sink thousands into it. And its currently back on the road and running great. New owner loves it.
awesome whats ya plans for that ole girl ?
Planning to finish fixing it up and then probably sell it. Currently replacing the leaf springs which will be part of an upcoming video
How much money do you want for it? Where are you located?
dont know what i'll ask for it. still working on the new suspension and brakes. kind of been on the back burner since some other projects came up that i need to get done. im in north east pennsylvania
Enjoyed your Jeep. You really need to mike your self. You are pretty soft spoken and I can't hear you well when your in the engine bay.
Is the jeep available for sale
Sold it a couple months ago. New owner now has it on the road and its running great.
How much did you pay for it
around scrap price
TRY A TIMING LIGHT / THEN YOUR NOT GUESSING / THEN A SMALL ADJUSTMENT / THE NOISE YOU HEAR IS FROM THE SLAMMING OF THE TOP OF THE PISTONS WITH A BLOCK OF WOOD AND HAMMER VERY HARD , TO HARD / IF YOU JUST HAD A LITTLE PATIENCE'S WITH SOME PENETRATING CATALYST AND SOME HEAT YOU WOULD NOT HAVE DONE THE DAMAGED YOU DID / BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME / YES YOU GOT THE MOTOR TO RUN BUT FOR HOW LONG AND HOW MUCH MORE WILL IT COST YOU IN TIME AND MONEY TO GET IT TO RUN RIGHT AFTER IT BREAKS DOWN / GOOD LUCK WITH IT , IT MIGHT LAST / BUT I DON'T THINK SO / HOPE I AM FOUND WRONG FOR YOUR SAKE / THANKS FOR SHARING I ENJOYED IT
IT'S RUNNING STRONG / USE IT ALMOST DAILY / THANKS
