I put liquid teflon thread sealer on the block side and anti seize on the nut side. The studs are like butter. I can feel them start to stretch at 50lbs. The TM9-1804a in section 90 - "Tighten the cylinder-head bolds with a torque wrench from 65-75lbs...." It does say bolts not nuts. I see that...

I ordered some new head studs about 2 years ago and when I started assembling the other day I broke some of the studs at 70ft lbs. Since I couldn't remember who I order them from I reorder from 2 different vendors since one had the long studs in stock and the other the regular or short studs. I...

Thanks, I sent a message to them. It's not on their web site but that doesn't mean they don't have it. I took the old one and put it in hot oil for about and hour. Just under boiling temp. Amazingly the thing is working but I think I still want to replace it. They must get gummy inside from...

I have a 24v stub nose starter for my M38. The starter works great but the overrun clutch is slipping. This part seems difficult to find and I don't want to replace the entire starter when only the clutch is bad. Below is a picture and the PN with descriptions. If anyone knows a supplier that...

I did check the x dimensions from the shock mounts and the shackle mounts. Both before and after had less than a 1/8" difference. The strange thing is the dimensions are off in way that would indicate the frame is off in opposite directions so even if I could tweak it I don't know what direction...

After Pictures Here is the after picture. a level in the front and the rear cross member. all four stands have equal weight within my ability to tell.

I had to figure out a way to bend my frame back from a twist it had. I found this method effective and thought it might help others out there with similar issues. I drilled 1/2 holes into my floor and used 3/8" drop in anchors. I then screwed in 3/8 eye bolts. This was done on all four...

Just got the spacer in today. It looks like its the correct fit. Posting a few pictures of the pinion with the spacer and the old pinion for reference. O.L. seems correct with the inner bearing pressed in place. I think this is a design improvement. The shims now have more surface area to land...

I think I have figured it out but I am still open to comments. I found this part...https://www.willysjeepparts.com/Ring_And_Pinion.htm Part number 639968 pinion spacer. I found this data on http://buyaircraftparts.com/part-number/639968. It sounds like the right part but it is usually called...

My Ring and pinion are badly worn so I got a new one the other day. Same PN 18396 and same manufacture - Salisbury. My problem is the shoulder is different that the shims rest on and the over length is shorter for the outer bearing and yoke. I think there is a spacer or some kind of bushing...

found it at https://www.armyjeepparts.net/p-1991-guide-axle-shaft.aspx Part number A-6439

I damaged a pilot bushing that goes behind the inner oil seal. Does anyone know where you can get these?

I am in the process of rebuilding my L134. Got it back from the machinist and I'm getting ready to put it back together. I am debating if the Connecting Rod bolts, nuts and lock nuts should be replaced. I am thinking there is no need. These are low compression over built engines but I thought I...

After some research I think the Exhaust valve is from a later model F head. Mine if the L head. I assume this was the practice during the rebuild process to "upgrade" the L head non rotating valve with the F head valve and a rotating cap. Can someone confirm this and point me in the right...

your right.The valve on the left is the new valve and uses a different type of retainer. Anybody know where I can but a new rotating type exhaust valve?

That makes sense. I think I want to keep the rotating style. My caps appear to be in good condition. Can I use the new exhaust valve with a different type of retainer. It looks like the new valve has the same retainer as the new and old intake. I am trying to figure out if the rotating valve...

I'm a confused on the types of valves used in the L134. I am in the process of rebuilding my M38 and have torn it down and had the block machined. Hardened valve seats are installed. I purchased new valves and the intake appear to be a direct replacement. However, the exhaust valves originally...

I have finally started my M38 Project. I decided to post project to a blog page since it is easier to post high res images. I plan to post major events and pictures on this thread but for those who want to know more detail info you can visit. www.M38.us I'm sure I will have a lot requests for...

A quick update... I went to see Bill at EZ License about 3 months ago. He did a great job filling out all the paper work and his fees are very reasonable. Today 11/18 I received a letter from the IL SOS dated 11/5 that I need to get the State of SC to supply a surrendered title within 30 days...

Downloaded the application and will fill it in and send the $20 in before the end of the week. I called Bill in Elgin and he seemed helpful on the phone. I plan on dropping off the BOS and VIN info this week. I will update this forum as to the progress. Thanks for the help.
