31 year old me agrees with you, young dumb me probably justified it by hosing it down in brake cleaner first.

Thank you, glad I could help!

That's pretty easy give it a quick Google and remember on. Fc you need to use the ECU jumpers to adjust CAS timing. I haven't gotten a video out on dynamic yet, now that my set up is a FFE trigger and controlled with a Haltech I haven't had to play with anything other than verify my timing is correct per what my ECU is putting out

Mercedes diesel 4x4 no longer sells them, and to be fair if i did it again I wouldn't use them your going to have to go through doomsday diesel for the adapter. Absolutely get the new flywheel balanced like the original and make sure you mark orientation of it how it goes on the crank shaft

I used a high amp starter solenoid and wired in a push button in the cab, just hold it for like 15 seconds and it was good enough to start it. I daily drove it that winter and we had multiple weeks in the single digit Temps.

Oil pressure I made a adapter to run the oem jeep oil pressure sensor

Dynamic is easy, and my set up has changed since this video, the car still wouldn't run correctly on megasquirt so I trashed that and ended up installing AEM smart coils, A FFE trigger wheel and a Haltech Elite 750.

Currently taking a little break from the restoration, getting married in 2 weeks and have been concentrating on light restoration on some Porsches at work Currently. I'll be getting back on it soon I hope, hard to justify spending money on the Lotus when the economy is the way it is.

Good luck with the wedding Karl.look forward to seeing the Lotus uploads. @@CowbellCustoms

Someone's gotta save them. And masochist tendencies can be fun

@@CowbellCustoms true I've got one as well 😂👍

@@robinburn4974 nothing like having all of your friends question your sanity when a new project shows up.

Depends on how rusty every is, I think if I had to do it again on an assembled car I can probably get it done in a day working at it most of the day. Other wise I think it took me a few hours a evening after work. That's also bagging and tagging every bolt that came out of it

I belive so, it's been a long time and I can't remember but that rings a bell

I had used the top ring and a modified sender from a FC fuel tank, other ways to do it too but that's what I had on hand at the time

One Oz Rum to 6-8oz of Coke or pepsi does best. But if that's not a option I suppose a good English Black tea with some sugar and milk.

It would depend on which axle is in the jeep and to my knowledge in those years it's either a Dana 30 or a Chrysler 8.25 I'm not sure. Maybe pull a wheel off and measure the drum quick to be sure

@@CowbellCustoms Thank you. The 9 inch fit, Appreciate your help. Thank you

Thank you!

A oil leak is a indicator of oil in the engine. 😂

Thanks man, it was good fun while I had it and was pretty simple to do, might I suggest the doomsday diesel adapter kit. There's some thing that look a little nicer on their adapter plate than the Mercedes 4x4 one.

@@CowbellCustoms I will absolutely look into that. Trying to get comfortable behind a camera, everyone around me says I should document these projects I’m about to tackle. Thanks for the input, maybe you’ll see my 3rd gen dodge complete rebuild pop up on the YT Airwaves.

That would be cool, getting started and comfortable in front of the camera is the biggest hurddle, once you do it and get in the flow of stopping and filming you can do great things. Unfortunately I get focused and forget to film alot

@@CowbellCustoms Thanks for that man! I'll be giving it a shot soon

It's a jeep 4.0L starter from what I remember.

They are 4x110, 14x7 Wed European II mesh wheels, I've never seen another set before in this size, I saw one other set in stock 13x6 size

@@CowbellCustoms wow, super jealous!!!

Definitely would have made life easier. Or as a other person suggested drill holes through the dies and use a nut and bolt and some washers to press it together

Get the e shaft pulley lined up pull the cas and see where it is. Although it sounds like it may have flooded I'd check to just make sure it's not flooded aswell

I don't remember what I did in the video but I have a extra front pulley on a metal bar that I use some times. And other times a pry bar and a bolt on the flywheel teeth, not my preferred method

@@CowbellCustoms Okay thank you! I just picked up a 1985 RX-7 and it’s leaking from the side of the engine real bad. I ordered the parts to replace it. Thanks for the video very informative!

No problem, if you have any other questions let me know, just remember the danger of the thrust washer falling out of place once you remove the front pulley. Mazdatrix has a diagram on their website of what it all looks like inside to get a understanding of it.

@@CowbellCustoms Will do thanks! I have a good clutch pedal with no leaks so I am going to put a bar in there wedged against the seat to hold it in.
