Another great video, thank you. , You always do excellent work, Often wish your videos were a bit longer, but I realize that you are a busy person and have a lot of things to do. You build such nice jeeps, It would be great if you would just took a couple days off work and went out wheeling with one of your jeeps and made a video of it. It sure looks like you could use a brake and some fresh air out of your shop, and it would be awesome to see you running one of your jeeps.

Brian, I feel your frustration. I do not ship a lot of items by LTL freight but some suggestions, people that I have used in the past, UPS Freight. They only ship terminal to terminal. You have to haul it to the terminal at your end, the consignee has to pick it up at the destination terminal. Most recently I have used RL Carriers and have been pleased with their charges and services. They offer liftgate truck service for pickup and delivery at an additional charge

Where do I find the right lube?

AWESOME!!! Making it Bullet Proof. Thank you Brian.

great job

Great. About half of mine are upside down..noticed this today while adjusting my valves. Can i flip them with the head on and the engine in? 6-226.

Shell Rotella T4 and the WIX filter is by far the very best combo..... I agree 100 percent!

Beautiful job! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

To put into perspective I had a single cylinder K series Kohler crank ground locally and it was $115.00.

Brian... Thank you for the video. I like the 258 CI engine because of the torque. Nice job making it flat. Juan

👍👍👍

Have you ever tried relieving an F head around the exhaust valve like you do on the L head and did it help power output? Just curious.

Thanks for the video Brian. I have rebuild my entire jeep with all your help. Starting to strip down the engine next, last piece to do. I trust my jeep wil be good again for the next 70 years, thanks to you. I have a 48 cj2a with the F head engine. Which carb would you recommend? With the 2a hood being so low, we are a bit restricted in what carbs we can use. I have lowered the engine down as far as possible already.

Another beautiful engine, sounds good. I don't mind the fan, it's needed. Finding a military Jeep with all the matching data plates is hard to find, it's hard on the civilian Jeeps to find as well. My 54 has all the matching tags, but the parts civilian jeep i traded some stuff to a friend for had no tags. I took it apart, and it had military wheels, axles, transmission and transfer case, once i got past the grease and 3 other layers of paint, found the olive drab paint. The hood was olive drab underneath, and had the military stencils, and under all the paint on top was the olive drab with the red oxide primer. What was left of the body came from a 53-55 cj5, with a ruined 48 L134 engine. There are some cobbled together rides out there. It took me many year's to find a decent military Jeep, because being up north, the rust is a killer, and going to far out of Michigan wasn't an option. I know you will have that Jeep looking like a true military Jeep. Listening to my grandpa's and uncle's talk about wwll, korea and vietnam always made me want one, plus my grandpa drove an old 50's jeep around the farm, and it was fun when he'd take me out in the corn field's after harvest and run it around. He let us kid's drive this old 67 mule around the farm, those were pretty fun to tear up the field's with. Hope thing's are getting straightened out with the shipping headache. G-d bless.

which modern starters are we able to use with these engines?

👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I’m really curious to see what your research yields about the military 3B. That’s gonna be fun to see come together

WIX are the best! Beautiful job on that motor!

wHY WOULD ANYFB90DY SAY SCHELL TUNDRA OIL BE THE WRONG OIL IT SHOS HOW S HOW OUTVOF TOUTCH THEY ARE. 😅

Lo venden

👍👍👍

stop worrying about the JERKS I think they comment because they know it bothers you Brian the material and videos plus time to show us all what goes into rebuilding these old soldiers is appreciated by many of us that always don't comment. I myself have 5 in various stages, one I keep running here in MASS only because of your great videos, never did any mechanics until i found youtube with your channel learned so much. Thanks Mike

For me If it doesn’t have a cat it gets T4

hey man its your motor your money your name on build use what you like and trust !

That would be the exact oil. I run in all my old vehicles.💯🎯

For such a much needed-channel as yours, with all the pertinent, expert Jeep info, it pains me that it's like 1990s videotape quality. 😐

Good work don't come cheap, cheap work don't come good.

Sorry to hear about the freight issues. I felt I got jerked around when I sent my engine too. Did I understand that you have an SGI body? If it’s a 2A that is part of your inventory reduction let me know please. I’d make the drive.

I have good luck with Fasenal . But been a few years.

I know of several hotshot truckers out of berks, Lebanon and Lancaster counties in southeast Pennsylvania. They’re running dually trucks and deck over gooseneck trailers (not enclosed) I don’t know if they regularly go to Connecticut or not but the one guy put 80,000 miles on his truck last year so he definitely gets around.

T98 4 speed BW rebuild kit? Source?

Two things you need to try, uShip and lots of eBay. After that you will appreciate the norm of poor service. Seriously, I have shipped a lot of aircraft engines and parts. The trick for me is taking the load to a freight hub. That means a 90 mile one way trip for me. Your talents are being wasted. Best Regards.

Not freight related, but do you post any listings for the stuff you're selling online? Not sure what that entire engine is worth, but I suspect the paint job alone is $1200 😂

sealed crates mitigate damage and damage claims it also limits theft...otherwise end recipients are claiming missing parts, damage etc to get a cheaper deal...unfortunately that is now the world we live in...low trust society incoming....fast!!

Good luck, east coast is a rough market because most drivers just do not want to go there. Ya gotta make $ both ways to survive and time is money. Your going to pay at least $2 a mile on a good day, but likely more than that. One engine sold at $4000 going to MO, IL, WI, or around there ballpark $1400 - $1800 for shipping. (just my guess)

Unfortunately, we don't run into Connecticut, or anywhere on the east coast for that matter, but you are correct about the brokers. They are turning into a bunch of thieves. LTL freight, which is what you use is the worst. They are upcharging everyone because about 8 out of 10 shippers will just pay it. Also, instead of paying it to the truckers, they pocket it. Lots of shady people out there now and they are getting rich off you and the truckers. Best advice I can give you is to find a small, local trucking company and talk directly to them. They will gladly work with you. Especially if they can find a couple more customers like you going out of Connecticut. I have a small fleet of 15 trucks in Minnesota.

Hey BRIAN, I have the old motor in the crate ready to go with axles on a pallet whenever you find someone 👍👍👍.

Sorry you are having such trouble with shipping, seems like a lot of people are having trouble getting stuff shipped. This kinda crap is what really hurts the small business owner's like you. I hope you find somebody dependable to ship your stuff out. Anyone offering 1200$ for one of those engine's must not understand that you are do a professional job, not like some of these companies who sell a remanufactured engine that's lucky to last a year. You have the initial cost of the engine, parts, fluids, the overhead of the machinery you use to rebuild them, plus the time involved from start to finish. I would love to buy one of those f head engine's, but I'd have to sell some stuff to do that. I know anything you rebuild, is getting done with the best parts, and done right, to last a lifetime. G-d bless.

Best of luck.

On the bearing packer. If you give a turn with your palm while pressing down, it more thoroughly packs the bearing and gets the grease in all the nooks and crannies of the bearing and rollers.

Have you ever heard of Blue Lane freight? Ships from any Fastenal store to another. Very reasonable rates. Only issue I’ve had is that they only ship to your side of the Rockies. I shipped a Pexto 36” shear from Tallahassee to Pa for $170. I believe shipping weight including pallet was about 600# NO LOADING DOCK REQUIRED AT EITHER END!

Shipping is crazy all around. Dosent make sense.

I shipped an axle on a pallet through UPS but it was a while ago.

Hi. I know this is a really old video, but I am doing floors and have a question… The large interior vertical supports that are at the front of the floors. You cut around them, and as far as I could see that 4” front edge of the support is not welded to the floor panel? If that is correct, how is that part finished? Thank you as always. Tug

Nice job with the pins on the hangers, very good idea. I learn something with every video

I like it.

hey brian have you heard of Dennis Collins? says he buys jeep stuff big u-tuber might be worth a shot

Neat progress update! Grille looks nice and flywheel is perfect as always, you are right uou dont see such a nice finish anywhere else!

Thanks

Nice flywheel and making progress on your frame , good to see .
