[@ec6933]

This channel is so understated. Audio was great and this was super relaxing!!!

[@JeepSolid]

Thanks! Glad you liked it.

[@jwilson6086]

Wow the sound is amazing. You were always clear but you could tell when you turned away. Build is coming along great.

[@JeepSolid]

Cool! Thanks

[@matthewbishop3622]

Man I appreciate your wisdom with these jeeps. I'm in the middle of a engine swap. Putting a new motor in 2001 grand Cherokee. You have helped me a few times now.

[@JeepSolid]

Awesome! I hope this video series helps a lot of people out.

[@matthewbishop3622]

Can you make a video of installing the cam pos sensor (distributor) I'm not sure of a few things

[@moabwheeling]

I have always soaked the lifters in oil for a day before installing them . Then I will coat the lifter bore with assembly lube and install them . I've been doing it that way for years and never had any problems . I think you will be ok with the way you did it . Take care Dale and looking forward to your next video .

[@JeepSolid]

Cool. Thx. Getting close to dropping it back into the Jeep!

[@AndrewBrowner]

@@JeepSolid dip them in oil as youre dropping them in... no need to overthink it.. im sure they be fine even if they went in dry... that entire engine is filled with pressurized oil within a few revolutions of that cam

[@jamesdodson9417]

I’ve always just primed lifters with a syringe and assembly lube mainly on Harleys but we all know the saying “bigger glob better the job”. God bless you fellas and keep the craft alive.

[@Canuckrz]

That felpro oil pan gasket actually comes with 4 little plastic studs so you can snap the gasket and oil pan onto place from underneath then remove them after you got some bolts in. So theres no need to go through all the headache of custom making your own stud with a flathead in it.

[@xLopez210x]

I binge watched all your episodes in 2 days lol. These are the greatest episodes ever! I literally cannot wait to rebuild my 210k miles YJ 2.5L. Its gonna be a mess for sure and theres so much rust..... so..... much... rust.....

[@JeepSolid]

Haha! Thank you. It's been a fun rebuild. Getting close to wrapping it up... 👍

[@francisbrackney2061]

Engine paint looks good, don't sweat it bud. After seeing it, I'm thinking about using that to coat my transfer Case and transmission in the same paint you used.

[@holton345]

At 4:57 the tip to make oil pan gasket guide pins comes directly from the Jeep Factory Service Manual. Very handy! Regarding the block color: drive it off road once and the silver will *become* gray in about half an hour. HAHAHA!!!

[@JeepSolid]

Haha true. The color wasn't what I was shooting for, but not worried about it.

[@vee950]

You're almost done can't wait for the video you dropping her back in and what kind of break in oil will you use Joe Gibbs suppose to have good breakin oil

[@JeepSolid]

I'm anxious to get it going as well! Thx!

[@francisbrackney2061]

You only need the zinc break in lube on the bottom of the lifters and on the cam lobes. And you should absolutely positively most definitely soak the lifters in oil.. For a minimum of one hour.

[@Codesempire]

Helpful stuff bro! Always enjoy videos like this. Very detailed! Your new mic sounds great too! Thumbs up! 👍

[@JeepSolid]

Cool. Thx!

[@williamvaughn9870]

enjoying your video, is your rear main seal 1 or 2 piece?

[@derekwest2160]

9:40 "The Eyes of Skeletor"!

[@JeepSolid]

Haha!

[@MrTM-fg6zn]

I cleaned my lifters and the plunger inside moves freely. Is that normal or is there a spring inside that keeps it tight. Should I put new lifters on an old cam? Thanks!

[@tylermartin6683]

Do you know if you can swap a 93 wrangler 231 into a zj same year

[@jojos4899]

Can i remove the lifters by my tj 2.5 l with a magnetic lifter or do i need a special tool to do this? Jojo from Germany.👋 You make great videos👍👍

[@JeepSolid]

Magnet can pull them, although sometimes they are stuck and have to be pushed out from the bottom side.

[@schmidtsgarage1114]

The audio sounds weird to me. I don’t know. But if you are happy with it, go with it.

[@BroncoSolid]

Schmidt's Garage I get what you mean, it's like he's too close. Gimme some space, Dale! I think he's going to be tinkering with it.

[@schmidtsgarage1114]

I wonder if putting it outside his shirt would help. I don’t know, I am just a simple man.

[@JeepSolid]

Yeah. Still tinkering with it. Trying lapel mic soon. Just came in the mail. 👍

[@B-real85]

man not painting the hardware hurt my heart.

[@flashyfernando3819]

What type of sealer?

[@rosairedubrule60]

lifters pump oil into the engine??

[@coler154]

no, they pump oil into the pushrods and up to the rocker arms

[@philliptaylor5981]

Don't you need to RTV the rest of the gasket?

[@JeepSolid]

Nope. Just critical spots

[@mariodesmo]

At your rate of progress on this rebuild, I've calculated that you should be ready to fire up the beast on its 100th birthday! lol

[@JeepSolid]

Cool! Ahead of schedule!! 👍

[@BroncoSolid]

Can we name the engine? I vote for "The Silver Streak"

[@JeepSolid]

Haha! Good one 👍

[@gordongman3423]

Battleship gray :-))

[@JeepSolid]

That's kinda what I was going for. Missed it. Haha!

[@pasttime8450]

How much has the rebuild cost you ?

[@JeepSolid]

I'll have to add things up in a future video
