Well...it was not the oil galley plug that was leaking. I found that the lowest bolt on the timing chain cover had fouled threads and would not tighten. It was in fact, loose at best. I re-tapped the hole threads and tried the equivalent new bolt which tightened down like the rest of the timing...

Just getting ready to check out my leak and will definitely look at the added oil line you have described. Really appreciate your assistance and the fact that you posted a oil leak resolution that is not found in the manuals or elsewhere. Will let you know about my oil leak after today's...

I just finished my M43 engine rebuild install (9 miles on the new engine). I have the same problem you have described to a tee! So, I am going to s=check on that plug tomorrow and see if it is the cause of my leak. I had the engine rebuild done by a professional machine shop. The did the block...

I posted a reply today on your original post where you stated you were looking for a vacuum equalizer plug for the lid. I had the same problem and spent a lot of time finding a suitable stainless drain plug and tank breather. I used this vacuumn relief fixture on my M1112 water buffalo and it...

I actually found an original mint condition tank lid seal. Scooped it up as a spare. I have not tested the current seal for leakage as yet. Need to sanitize then fill with water, The seal was a pricey $70.00 but I wanted the OE replacement.

Thank you for your reply, I have two daughters living in Tucson and one daughter living in Goodyear, Az. Love the state and hope it does not go the way of some other unmentioned states...like Calimexizuela.

Thank you both for your reply. I thought about jacking up the frame, but felt I should ask first. I am not as spry as I once was and try to eliminate unwanted extra labor with no results. Again, Thank you both.

I want to inspecty the lower end of the engine without removing it. I un-connected the oil pan and removed the flywheel cover but cannot remove the oil pan from under the vehicle. It seems I must lift the engine as in removal of the engine to clear the oil pan from under the engine. I am...

I have the 750 x 16's on the jeep. At first there seemed to be no problem, but after driving around a bit (flexing the suspension) I found that the tires do rub the edges of the tire tread when reaching the maximum turning point on left or right turns. They appear to not rub in normal small...

Thanks to all...I found my answer.

Largest tire size that can be used on a M37, M43 with stock suspension? I have heard that a 1100 X 16 can be used without vehicle suspension modification. Can anyone tell me who has used larger tires on their M37 and M43. Many thanks for any reply.

Now if I could only find lid seals or a method of making a lid seal...Like a good soldier I posted a request in the parts wanted section.
