Unfreezing an Engine

�Does anyone know where I can download the Willys Mechanics Manual? �The disassembling the engine is the easy part, I want to make sure its right when I put it back together. �I don't mind paying for a hard copy if I have to.

One of our CJ-3A members has documented the overhaul of his L Head engine as he overhauled it. �It has pics and a lot of detail. �You can get to it without going out of the 3A Page site if you click on the MEMBERS button at the top of the page. �Then on the first page of members that comes up scroll down about 13 lines till you get to DOUG. �Click on DOUG to get to his profile. �Scroll down to Website: flatfenderfever and click on it. �Or you can simply go to www.flatfenderfever.com. �Once there you will see many worthwhile options. �The overhaul instructions are found on: My L-Head Rebuild & Projects. �

I agree with Carlsjeep about having a hard copy. �I printed Doug's book and put it in a binder. �Makes a handy overhaul manual. �

Keep us posted about your progress and please include photos. �And remember, there's lots of expert advice right here (as you have already learned). � �

At the risk of hi jacking the thread, I'm a believer in a greasy dog eared mechanics manual !!!

Just for fun Carl.

  I was too until I couldn't read one important page . They did ride me a little about how particular I was about keeping my manuals clean at work.

Thanks for all the advice guys.  I've been away from the Jeep for a week and haven't progressed much.  But you guys are truly a huge help.  The above site is great. Beers on me,,,,,,its in the fridge,,,um you'll have to get it yourself though.

I'm in the same boat with a 51 I just bought with a stuck motor.  I have read considerable experiences from the tractor old timers and have resorted to vinegar also.  Haven't worked on it for a week however vinegar continues to seap through the cylinders and amazing to see how much "crud" it is removing.  Have been spraying the valves as well.  Good luck.
