In this episode, we test the engine after replacing the head gasket. Let's see how this goes. Join me in the adventure of a Kaiser Supersonic Willys L134 Go Devil Engine for the Jeep. You never know what you are going to get or what is waiting around the corner. Watch to find out...
This Willys CJ2a Jeep restoration has stretched me in many new ways of things I have never done before.
I'm learning a lot as I go as I dig into this project. It is definitely an education.
This is part of the series to turn a pile of old vintage flat fender jeep parts into a running 4x4 off road Jeep for playing. These are great four wheel drive trucks but they take some work to keep going or get going. Grab a beverage and enjoy the journey. There will be heartbreaks but there will be joy as well along the journey. If it was easy everyone would do it.
Just thinking out loud here, not advising a course of action and maybe someone else will comment and correct my thinking, but if the head gasket really is still leaking, or if there's a crack in the block somewhere, that's not stopping you from at least taking the Jeep for a spin around the block to get a little satisfaction out of it. What's the worst that'll happen? Your oil will get all milky and you'll ruin the engine? If you have a crack in a cylinder or water jacket somewhere, you aren't really breaking it worse than it's already broken? And maybe putting a mile on it will give you something diagnostically significant?
You could also do a compression test to see if one cylinder is lower, indicating a cracked cylinder wall?
I agree with you completely
Interesting thought. It never hit me to do that, i am so focused to restore it that I didn't think to take it for a spin while smoking....
@@andykirkendall8285 it is an interesting thought. thank you for the outside perspective. i was so focused on getting it right that i didn't think about it.
