    I have to first get th etorx bits to pull the bolts holding the top timing gear on th ecamshaft. I am looking at the top gear adn the gear that the distributer connects to is on the top gear. Does it just push on there or is there a bolt under th ecam button? Kind of odd looking

    yeah. ince i did most of one it will be even quicker. The fenders do have ruber liner stuff on the inside fenders so it will be much better for them to do it ;) Then just some welding and then paint them :) Then that means i have to do some body work on the CJ so i can paint that to match

    Dan - once you put it back together the break in for a Buick motor (according to my machine shop) is 20 mins at 2K to 2.5K RPM. The oil pump needs the higher RPM to oil the valleys the way they work.

    Also prime the engine with a prime rod in the Dist hole. Spin up on a drill until you get oil out of the rockers.
