Haha I'll get you one tomorrow!

 

Just a head's up.
I had put in a similar size crankcase vent line that was going to a oil trap then my air intake and the blow-by was to big for the line and the crankcase got pressurized enough to pop the dipstick and sprung oil leaks all over.


Just saying. It caused me enough grief to decide to rebuild the engine and replace all hoses with proper size ones.

 

thanks for the headsup, i will probably do something a bit bigger in the near future, keeping with the same general idea, just more width

 

Drove 400 miles in the mid atlantic heat.
New Champion 3 row AL radiator kept my temp at 208.4.
New ac compressor kept my phone from overheating while I monitored the OBDII over bluetooth and used the GPS.
My ac used to make my XJ overheat.
The pulley bearings were shot, but the cooling system was a rust parade, too.
All good now.
I wonder what's gonna crap out next...

 

The next thing is always the weak link. Im guessing.....the muffler.. LOL who knows.....

 

New tensioner puller, idler pulley, fan belt, thermostat and housing are already in then brand new 2 core copper and brass radiator.

 

Thanks man

 

Lol its tempting to do that

 

plasti-dipping my roof black

 

630 or 7

 

Redoing seals! arf arf and such. This was a learning experience for sure. Putting the shafts on ice tonight and going to see how tenderly lov- dropping the bearings onto the shafts goes.


Picked up a slidehammer as well, at the distress of a friend of a friend who insisted my D44 was a Chryco 8.25 (in an 87)

 

I picked up my header

 

Interesting design. What brand is that?

 

Didnt do anything to the XJ but I did buy Rotela t5 10w-30 for it. Says its equivalent to 15w-40 so Im guessing it should be better oil lol. Heard alot of good things about it in the 4.0s.

 

What filter?
