RE: THe later CJ pan is improved over the early pan.
By Geoff McNew - 10/13/2003 4:47:48 PM; IP 66.52.140.97
Jeez Shoe, will anything else even fit? I already had to hammer my crossmember a tad with a 5lb sledge where it was rubbing the paint off either side of the stock pan (I think the pubic hair's gap between pan and crossmember disappears when you double up pan gaskets and add a windage tray).

Anyway, I think I may have blown away my excess oil theory, although I will definitely add oil restrictors. I just had a buddy follow me and it was only smoking out the passenger side tail pipe (no crossover). So, I pulled the rocker cover and shaft off that side, pulled the plugs and it's got one oilly black spark plug - #4. It began smoking all of a sudden too....not a good sign.

I'm gonna borrow my buddy's leak-down test rig tomorrow to see if it could be a ring - I don't think so, since it only puffs under high vacuum/trailing throttle after running up in rpms. I'm hoping it may just be a valve seal let go, but both seals look o.k. (what I can see of them) they're in place over the guide, the little tensioning spring on the lip is still there - I'll have to compress the springs and take 'em apart to inspect closer.

Just thinking out loud, could it possibly be a leaky intake manifold gasket? It could suck oil in there, I guess, but...I was absolutely friggin meticulous during assembly, and the bolt torques are all still there.

Oh, I called Erson & they agree with your 0.060"-0.090" for the restrictors - now, just gotta talk to my pal with the little lathe...
This thread, so far...
