BrianAnthony,
Unless I'm mistaken, this is your first post?  Welcome!  Hopefully, you'll get to spend some time with your 2 yr old purchase!  You may want to "Reply" to your own initial post to keep all the documentation about your rebuild under one heading so it'll be easier to follow along vs. multiple Project threads.

I picked up this 1952 cj3a two years ago with the hope of getting it back to where it was originally.
I finally got it into the garage this summer and started to pull it apart.
As you can see the body is rough and 3 of the cylinders are frozen. Someone before me tried to pound on the cylinder heads and you can see the results. I pulled the engine out and put Marvel Mystery oil and ATF in all the cylinder heads in the hope that at a later time I can put the engine on a engine stand and fuss with it.
