Title: Everything Leaks........
Post by: ZekeD on March 22, 2013, 03:19:57 PM: I have decided to take my 49 CJ3 down to the frame. But looking ahead, I see that
EVERYTHING leaks: Mains, Pumpkins, transfer. Where do you start? And where are
The best places to get gaskets, bearings etc.......I am trying to get away without
Totally rebuilding the L head, it seems to run nicely after sitting for 15 years.

Thanks for your experience and opinion.

And if the wires leak smoke a lot, it is British.

Just remember, with a willys, its not a leak, its marking its territory in case a JK or a TJ comes by............ ;D ;D ;D

Makes you want to go out and buy a Land Rover, don't it?

Post by: Macgraham on March 23, 2013, 11:09:48 AM: I was taught that power tools, generators, starters and Landrovers have smoke installed at the factory when they are built. It is our job to try and keep the smoke in, However if you let the smoke out it is never good. I let the smoke out of an old drill the other day, RIP. ;) ;) ;D
