Lighten up Francis.

Apparently you dont.

You dont have to bend anything.

I rebuilt the 242 in my sons jeep. I did not have any luck with the extractor. I had ordered the parts and kit from Novak. They sent a few sheets of step by step instructions on teardown and rebuild. Lucky for me it had another way of tearing it down as the extractor broke off in the roll...

I have a 1990 limited. When i pulled the engine i did not remove the hood. I just unbolted the small cables on each hinge that limits the travel. Then i took a strap from the front edge of hood to the roof rack and pulled it back so the hood was straight up. It gave me more then enough room...

Yes, I had a broken one that I did not see until I got everything put back together. I used a Dremel tool to cut off the small metal stop clamped on the end. Slid the broken one off and slid a good one on off an old cable from the pull a part yard. Then I clamped a crimp on wire connector...

Sorry to bring up an old thread but i am having some of the same problems. Earthling did you ever get it shifting right?

I was looking at the OME kit for my 90xj.....is anyone familiar with these and how they ride on the road

Like 87xjco said, the ac dries out the air. Thats part of what makes you feel cooler. It is just like low humidity outside feels cooler.

Hey thanks for the help. I'm trying to clean this thing so i can see but it is like trying to clean up a super fund site!

i replaced those when i did the rear main and valve cover. It does seem to be wet down the sides off the block.

Ok. well i replaced my rear main and valve cover gasket about a year ago. Now its leaking again. Worse than before! Now the question is....Where is it coing from? the valve cover or rear main? How can i tell, this thing is leaking like the Exxon Valdese. When i stop at a light it looks...
