Need a hand
Just thought I would throw this out there...
I'm getting near completion of project waggy rebuild and I'm finding that I may need an extra set of hands (eyes mostly) when it comes to hooking everything back up once the intake manifold goes back on.
If there's any jeep guru's out there who happen to be local (I'm in Palos Verdes) and wouldn't mind spending a couple days with me as I hook things back up, I would really appreciate it!
Background: So I basically did an in-car engine rebuild. Here's what's done and what I need a hand with...
- Removed intake manifold and cleaned. Replaced coolant adapter. Didn't fool with anything else. Left carb alone and attached. (was working fine except for a bit of high idle which may simply be my timing)
- Removed valve covers (have new Edelbrocks going on in place of the old ones)
- Removed the heads and cleaned. Springs and valves all seem fine. Didn't take any of those apart.
- Removed oil pan and pistons (rod knock was my whole reason for the rebuild in the first place). Cleaned pistions. Replaced piston rings and rod bearings.
Everything is going back together but where I may need a hand is figuring out:
- Where all the new vaccuum lines go
- Making sure that I get the drive linkage put back properly
- Making sure I get all the attachements hooked up properly on the Intake manifold/carb.
I took pictures of everything PRIOR to dissasembly but I have a tendancy to end up with extra parts after everything goes back together
I have the Haynes manual so I can figure out most of it but it's always good to get a second pair of eyes on.
I can offer beer for your time
