@@devildog80 im not sure if you watcjed my prior vids.. but it had 1 or more delaminated cam bearings. Thats where the oil pressure went. Check prior vids where i took the oil pan off and found chunks of bearing all over inside. Its quiet... no tapping or any noises.. just low oil pressure. As for foot on the throttle around here.. i gatta drive 50-60 mph. To get anywhere. It drove fine to pickup this multch. But still i am weary.

@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 CM.....I have been following you for awhile now, over on FSJ Forum, and have seen what you have done with the truck. Just remember, anything you do to clean up the engine on the inside ie chemical treatments etc, do them slowly, and let time be your friend. Put a little MMO or Seafoam in the oil each change, and drive it. Let those work slowly, but realize if you clean it too much, old wear on bearing etc will show their faults at some point, and be the demise of the engine. Then you will need to put money into the engine. I grew up on a farm/ranch in ND, and my dad had some old tractors & trucks, that he used to put cleaner used oil in them from the family car or pickups we used for road miles. As we ran them only for a season or so throughout the year, it kept the engines running, without taking out all the residue from where it had settled in the engines. The equipment ran for all of my growing years, and only remember 1 or 2 actual engine overhauls needed on any of them, with this practice in place. Key was, he would change oil filters every year, but otherwise only added oil as needed, when it was the season for that tractor or truck to be used.

@@4SquirrelsInATrenchcoat on a new years eve day. Im not sure

@@Harry_Dawg. i was a volunteer firefighter for ywars thats one reason.. but the other is these fullsized Jeeps like the wagoneer j10 j20 etc.. are known for electrical fires.. seen plenty in salvage yards burned up. Plus with a barn with wood all over made of wood etc.. it isnt worth having this nice building burn down. I even disconnect my Jeeps battery when its parked in the garage in case

@@coolrobuxgaming this fiet bulb is even (coated) inside.. but its not the DX coating that makes the bulb color white over the blue/green from the clear mercury vapor bulbs... so its a fake bulb basically

@@phillipbouchard4197 ya i rebuilt my bed among other things if you saw my older videos. I didnt want a flat bed on it Mine was a plow as well hense the insaine rust it had lol. When i rebuilt the bed it still had one of those like 100lbs counter weights for plows in the bed corner. But hanging off lol. I need to cut the bolts off for that weight as its like 5, 1 inch thick steel plates stacked together. I was going to use them for targets for shooting lol

@@SuperDirtyred1 runs for now.. still stalls rsndomly i need to do the service bulletin for the prestolite ignition but the engine is still going good despite the bad cam bearing. Im not sure if its still throwing metal in the engine or not though. Surely it cant be good to have metal dust in the oil lol.. bjt i guess ill find out when i change the oil down tje road

@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 My Jeep use to do it Mostly on the highway. I just popped into neutral and turn the Key, and it always started back up . Kind of scary with 18 Wheelers next to you and behind going 70 MPH. I got rid of the 50 yr old Distributor and that problem . Now went into the HEI Nightmare. It ran like a bat out of hell, 5 miles a gallon and it now has eaten my cam gear. Just bought this last night on Ebay NOS OEM 1975 - 1977 Jeep AMC Distributor going back to the Stock Ignition Module/Control Unit/Ignitor. When ever all the parts get here.

@SuperDirtyred1 same it cuts out going 60+mph for some reason never did it at low speeds. I nktice if i keep at 50mph itscusually fine but if i go to 55-60+ it has a chance to randomly cut off. So youre going back to prestolite ? , what about duraspark that 78-91 uses ?. People keep telling me to go HEI but i know those are unreliable as have issies as well. Id rather keep it stock if sokdering the wires on the plugs fixing the issue

@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 Hello. All my Parts are coming in Daily. USPS FED X , UPS. I want to get this Jeep up and running a A.S.A.P. , My other daily driver is also O.A.F. It's a 1982 Chevy Van 305 and they both take turns breaking down. I was looking for a stock one and ebay had one. Our Junk Yard just crushed about 20 Old AMC Jeeps . I thought they would be there forever. Damn Dummies. I cant take the HEI 5 MPH, 13 mph is what I haw Getting Before.

@SuperDirtyred1 so you are going back to prestolite ?

@@derekcruz4929 you prove ? What ?

@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 yes i prove it, since a window of my house

@@Walkercolt1 watch the whole video.. lol its not. The bulb umscrewed itself

@@TaaviTuisk yea i looked it up.. aparently thats what it was. Veey interesting. It unscrewed itself from hot cot hot cold lol. The bulb works fine. I jist put the new one in amyway because itll be brigjter

@ Sure, i would suggest cleaning the contacts a little to make sure the resistance stays low. Arcing can destroy them over time. I guess the only fix to this with these fixtures is checking the bulbs from time to time.

@@derekcruz4929 did yoy watch the whole video ? It was unscrewed somehow. It backed out 1 1.2 turn. When i turned it it came on. I dont knkw how it mansged to unscrew itself 1 1.2 turns.. its like someone unscrew it.. its weird But i decided to put the newer bulb in anyway since its well new and the other is getting close to 4 years

@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 o sorry, i didnt pay attention to that part

@@CadeRankin2006 onky one of the older ones. The others buzz when being turned on. But after 30 seconds or so they dont

@@alexisgarcia-vg4jm check my prior videos of tge 1500 mile out change.. and me cutting the filter.. prior owner did not take care of it.. plus is sat for decades. But im shocked after 10 miles AFTER the 1500 mile one.. that ot came out this dirty. Unfortuantly it has silver in the oill dropped the pan and found a common issue with older and amc engines.. delaminated cam bearing material

There is a running amc 360 near me for $700.

@@Harry_Dawg. lol must be.. not something i needed with all the other work that needs done on this and my other Jeeps.. but hey. But itll be awhile and ill keep driving it as it is until i get the stuff and money i need TO do this. Thanks

@@jackofmanytrades4396 comparing mine to yours though apples and oranges.. you coyld just have a scored oil pump or worn out bearings.. my bearing is tearing itself apart and i had a fuck ton of metal in the pan. Including a handfull of eraser abd pin sized rusted metal chunks.. blocking the pickuptube in the back.. and on the bottom of the pan.. from that rusted out filler neck. Me taking the pan off and cleaning it up is something i wanted to do anyway.. as i wanted repaint it the valve covers, oil pan. dipstick handle.. filler neck and so forth like i did on ny wagoneer 2 years ago. If anything clearing the pickup from those chunks of rust and metal and the pan.. will keep the rod bearings looking like they are and not fuck those up either. As for leaving it alone ?? Leave what alone.. i drained thd oil saw sludge and silver and pulled the pan and bearing caps to look. Now i know what the problem is and i can work on saving to fix it. I dont plan on this being used only as a work truck forever.. i do want to register it.. repaint it make it look nicer once i finish the last bit of rust repairs on it. And have it be a daily like my wagoneer is. Watch my latest video to get an idea on my gane plan for it. Im not lutting 20-50 in it which can nake the issue worse actually. Itll be like honey and its winter soon. Ima stick with 10-40 for now and some rislone zddp or something. You act like i made the problem worse by investigating ? I had 10-30 in it originally

@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305All I know is that it's very hard to find a decent machinist these days, there are a lot of shit parts on the market, and a lot of shit advice on the interwebz to go with it. So, yeah, hard to believe as it may be, you might actually end up worse off than when you started. I've only been messing with AMC junk since the '80s. Best of luck. I seriously mean that. I love seeing AMCs that haven't been LS'ed. But it's getting harder all the time to keep them that way. Time and technology are marching on relentlessly.

@jackofmanytrades4396 i 100000%%% agree. I told those shops i do know there is a influx or bad quality cams and lifters on the market. and if my lifters and cam is still good (assuming) i do not want them replaced because i fear itll just create way more issues especially if they swap em with crap parts. If i can get away replacing the cam bearing and thats it.. thats all i wanna do. If the cam got wiped out due to the bad cam bearing. Then of course ill have no other choice. But judging how i have no ticks from the engine and the lifters all pumped up at the same time im hoping its still good. Ive delt with shitty parts on cars for over a decade.. they last 6 months while the originals lasted 20 years. I see countless videos and threads online of engine builders and guys who rebuild their engines on their cars, only for the cams to wipe and lifters go bad shortly after from poor quality crap Just what i need is to reolace good parts with shit parts. Thats my biggest worry. And i know amc replacement parts have quality issues. Water pumps. Timing covers and other crap. Im not ls swapping anything. My 5.9 98 grand cherokee is staying 5.9 magnum.. and my J10 and wagoneer will stay amc 360. Honestly. The 360 in this j10 as i said in the video has tons of power enough for me anyway. Now on my 90 Grand Wagoneer. That 360 with 145hp. Is lacking. It did tow my j10 ona flat bed fine though.. total weight was 6400lbs. And i had at least 300lbs in the back. Brush guard. Front rear bumper. Th400 and quadra trac. And my wagoneer weighs 5100lbs. Despite the crappy hp. Its still got decent torque. But going up mountain roads in VA towing it home.. wide open throttle i could only maintain 40mph and no more. So it deff needed more power. Its also very sluggish overall i cant really pass people easily and yea. To where as my 5.9 grand cherokee is like a rocket compared to it. But the J10 i never had that issue. It weighs 800lbs less than the wagoneer and has more power being a 76. So i can understand why people ls swap.. but im not doing that.. everyone and their mother does that and i hate being the guy who has the same crap as everyone else. Its like wrangler owners. Millions of them.. it isnt unique or cool to me. And ill never own one. Lets say i do have to swap an engine.. it wont be an ls ill put a 5.9 magnum in it just to give the ls swaps a middle finger

@@HoustonReed-l5t no those prices were to clean and rebuild the engine basically. But on my nee video the bottom end is fine after i took the bearing caps off.. its just the top end. Most shops wanted $350-$400 to hot tank and put cam bearings in and i pick it up and put it back together. But tbh im ona severe budget.. So ill probly degrease and clean the engine out myself

@@jamesbarran-scott437 i nkticed those stampings. I cant remember if my other 360 had them or not but the age diff between them is also 26 years too. Ill ask on the amc forums. But yea the stampings had me wondering because i dont remember if amc did that or not As for the bearings looking new. My 360 in my 90 grand wagoneer when i took the pan off and inspected the bearings. They too looked brand new. So it might just be they have little to no wear and thats it.

@@jamesbarran-scott437 if i gatta do the cam and lifters.. do i need to do the valve springs and push rods etc. Or ?

@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 valve springs should be fine even with a slightly upgraded cam I’d expect, pushrods I’d check the condition- if they’re inexpensive probably just replace them anyway. It maybe that there’s company’s selling complete upgrade kits that with the cam, lifters, pushrods valves ect .

AMC did number the rods from the factory.

@@jackofmanytrades4396 well I live and learn 👍

@@jjpeters5 thats what ima do.. bottom end looks beautiful to me. Take it out.. degrease and pressure wash it while its together.. then take it apart

I just checked and asked. Yes amc stamped thr comnrcting rods and caps. So no it mist likely has not been rebuilt. Especoally with the mount of grime on the engine outside snd on the transnission to engine bolts. It looks original outside to me.. decades worth of grime build up. The newer looking rod bearings is just from them not wearing. My 360 in my wagoneer as i mentioned was like that too it surpised me when i took them off to look

@@fail_fast check my updates it isnt good

@@Fit4FreedomLLC check my updated videos.. i gatta rebuild the engine..a cam bearing delaminated

@@Fit4FreedomLLC check my updated videos.. i gatta rebuild the engine..a cam bearing delaminated

@@jamesbarran-scott437 ya i think ima do that. Gatta learn somehow . Plus in 15 years working on Jeeps ive not paid a shop once ever for anything. Except mounting tires. Im going clean the pan up and paint it and thr valve covers amc blue since i have some cans left over. Since theyre off already.. And put it back together. Ima throw some 10-40 and naybe some rislone zddp in there.. and Only use it when i absolutly need it. While i save up for an engine hoist and stuff ill need to work on it. Ima try to find a 4bbl intake and carb as well if its in my budget. Do you think its ok if i use thr truck occasionally or no ? Honestly i dunno when those bearings went out.. coulda been 8 months ago or 2 days ago. Although that 10 mile oil change being glittery kinda tells me no. Am i ok in leaving the pistons/crank/rod bearings alone ? They looked great to me tbh.. Every machine shop i called wanted to do an entire engine rebuild and i dunno how those shops work but that seems excessive if the bottom end is good like we saw in my other video. Is it easier to pull the engine out with the transmission or do i unbolt it with the tranny in the truck ? Im curious because i dont see how you can get a socket or wrench on those bolts with the fire wall 3 inchs away ? Just curious

@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 I’d strip it down just to inspect but if the bearings are ok then keep them, just leave them in the rods ect so they don’t get mixed, gearbox and engine usually comes out as one unit then separated, but I’m not a jeep expert. I wouldn’t risk driving it as the swarf and debris is going to get round the engine and wreck your crank and cylinders, oversize pistons bearings and crank grinding and boring add up

@@jamesbarran-scott437 well unfortunatly i do need it for basics like firewood and getting hay for my horse.. but i will stop casually driving it around. I cant work on it until next year spring though as i need to buy the tools.. hoist.. and the thing to hold and turn the engine as i work on it.. supplies and everything else. So while i save up. Ill jist keep fixing on it what ive been doing.. thr body panels finish them up..and all the other stuff that needs done

@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 Ah fair enough, needs must sometimes , there’s oftentimes a lot you can get away with if your super careful , good luck with it and keep on with the videos 👍

@jamesbarran-scott437 i mean for all i know its been like this all year. I jjst wont be driving to car shows or casual driving anymore. Just farm use strictly only

@@Wyatt_James thanks. Check my updated vodeos.. has 1 or more delaminated cam bearings. The crank and rod bearings are great though.. so bare minimum it needs new cam bearings. At worst it meeds new cam. Bearings. And lifters.

i never said it was coolant, i took the oil pan off and sure enough i have huge chunks of delaminated cam bearings in there. Aparently very common on amc engines so for now ima only use the Jeep on my property for hauling stuff if i need it.. and save up for a engine replacement or rebuild the one i have

@@chevybrat bearing material.. poped the oil pan off and found huge chunks of delaminated bearings
