So I started it up this morning and looked it over more. I did not see any bubbles in the water. Oil Psi at idle is about 12 psi when i rev it up the pressure hits about 30 psi. I TQ the head down to 65 FT LB adjusted the intake valves while I was there. The engine runs about 185 190 degrees. At...

I can smell gas on them but they are oil soaked also. Running temp was about 190... and maybe 40 50 psi while driving. I will look again tonight. I seam to have good oil pressure so makes me think the bearings are good. I will re torque the head right now and we will see if they were off at all.

Blue smoke, oil in exhaust, oil on #1 plug other 3 plugs had burnt oil. It is defiantly burning oil..I do have a bunch of the manuals I downloaded them when I first got it. As for the bubbles I went to go look and I popped the hood and noticed my oil pressure line to the oil filter was rubbing...

So I got the M38A1 put together enough to drive around the parking lot. Took it out for a spin and the thing smokes like a chimney. Well I guess I am going to rebuild the engine. But my question is, are the military F-134 engines the same as the CJ5 F-134 as far as the internals go? I would...

Thanks that is just what I needed. Someone before me cut the frame off right were it raises up were the bumper mounts so they could mount some channel iron as a bumper. :evil: every time I take something off I find something more messed up.

Could someone post up some pics of a M38A1 frame with the front bumper removed. I am trying to rebuild my frame ends up front. Someone cut them all up it looks like. Thanks Aaron

The hole on top of the timing chain cover case is the return line to the engine from the oil filter. There is a fitting under the fuel pump that is the pressure line to the oil filter. If u need more pics let me know. Edit: I have scene replaced all the oil filter lines with the new original ones.

That is really clean looking compared to mine when i first got it. Good luck with her. And what is that deal on the front?? A mount for a plow?

The ones I see on eBay go for a arm and a leg for shipping. I have a number to a guy that sells Willy's jeep parts here. I just need to find it and see what he has. Is there any info out there on repairing the mechanical regulator? Thanks for the help.

I am watching a used mechanical regulator on Ebay but I don't want to spend 60 bucks with shipping and get it and it not work. Is there anyway to bench test them? I am collecting all the parts to convert it back over to 24 volts. I don't see as point to have a M38A1 with a 12v system I might as...

If it tells you anything about the "L" head engine, When I was about 14 years old my dad got a old 52 Willys CJ-3A with the "L" head engine. Sat for about 10 to 12 years.
