well I am looking into the BG product line, just trying to find a place to buy

High compression is good but this is a totally stock motor that is not set up for high compression so I think I have lots of carbon build up which will lead to pre-ignition. but than again this is all going off a gauge is could be crap so before I go all crazy and fixing things that are not...

I know a leak down test should alway follow a compression test but when I saw the numbers i got I was a bit surprised. I was expecting low numbers. this is the reason why i want a professional grade carbon cleaner.

1996 4.0 and WOT I only did the test once. I never heard of doing the test twice.

I was doing a compression test on my Jeep that has 180K and my readings were 30 psi above the spec. I know the spec is 120-150 with 30 psi variance between cylinders. Cylinders 1-5 were 170 -175, cylinder 6 was at 135. did a wet test and it wet up to 150. Now since my compression is high I am...

l am looking manufacturers

well I am converting a weekend trail rig into a full time DD, and the whole suspension is too stiff for regular driving i am pretty sure the shocks are going bad also. I am looking for new leaf springs to replace my 3" AAL. I know there are lots of manufactures that make leaf springs for XJ's...

Well here is the story my drivers side door started sagging last year and some water got behind the door panel and messed up the wiring. The other doors started not getting and power, well after testing i found out the wire harness got water damaged and i had to splice in a new one. That fixed...

good I thought I could.

I removed the cover for the gas line in the trunk that is under the carpet on the drivers side to do some rust repair. Now that I am ready to put the cover back on I cannot find any place that has the seal, they all tell me it is out production. Could I use regular RTV sealant ? -Ryan

well I have patches I made out of some metal in the process of waiting for the panel bonding adhesive to cure. On the issue of the frame rails I have a person who will willing to sell me rust free frame rails about 3 feet worth for $200 including S&H. Does that sound like a good deal. -Ryan

well thats the problem I don't have 2k to spend i almost have $500. I don't know why people assumed that because I got a quote for 2k from a body shop. I would got to the body shop. If I was going to go it would be for them to weld and thats all. I don't have money to spend on a welder and...

well been busy with finals at school and being on a college budget i decided well for the winter to just glue some metal down. I am going to use some panel bonding adhesive from 3M. just to throw it out there I am going to use aluminum that I got for FREE from a HVAC guy I know. -Ryan

well the way I see it is I spent 4K to buy the car from a dealer 5 years ago, other than the money I spent to put a lift on it. I have not spent a great deal of money on the jeep. I am a mechanic so fixing the car is no big deal. so the way I see it 1k -2k for rust repair is not a big deal...

yea i know it just that the lip isn't there it rusted away. -Ryan
