Jeep Update #2 - Sunday 10/28/12

Saturday we checked the compression on each cylinder, 125 on the hand held gage. I found out what the coil does, in the process, it puts about 30,000 volts in to your left arm if you are touching it as you check the compression. Dad turned over the engine to get the reading and my left hand was on the coil. OUCH!

Sunday 10/28/12 -- Engine pulling day! We removed the drive line, radiator, disconnected the manifold, disconnected the battery, starter, distributor cap, etc.

The radiator is out. I forget what Dad was working on...

We were trying to get the manifold bolts out. Got a little dirty at this point.

Decided to remove the fenders and the front end before we pulled the engine.

It looks ALMOST new!!!

Just that easy, the engine is out. We started working at 11 AM today and got the engine out around 5 PM. :) Also removed the transmission from the engine.

Trying to get it to mount on the engine stand, but that wasn't going to happen today since we didn't have the correct bolts.

Just about done for the day. A little clean up and Suzanne was still able to park in the garage.
