Jeep 6cyl Freeze Plugs and Oil Gallery: Engine Rebuild Part 12

[@sha13imran]

Just bought a xj yesterday that needed freeze plugs and yet again one of ur vids helped me

[@moabwheeling]

Coming along nicely !! I also say oil galley plugs . Glad you had some assistance when it was needed . Looking forward to your next video . Take care !!

[@JeepSolid]

Thanks!

[@hikerJohn]

Now that I'm old, the first thing I reach for when I get to a tight nut or bold is the torch then I hit it with oil when it's still red hot. But I don't think you can strip out a square socket if the tool fits. LOVING these videos.

[@gordongman3423]

Lol The extraction tool was just what I was getting ready to post, when you said that is what you bought. That's funny You just gave me an idea. Next time I pull an engine, knock out the freeze plugs before mounting on engine stand.

[@JeepSolid]

Good idea! Making some good progress. Working on cleaning it up today.

[@Flyby-1000]

This weekend's project for my YJ, I'm going to wire up an air compressor/tank in the back seat area along with 2 6 LED spots on the tire carrier.

[@JeepSolid]

Ah, nice setup. Send a picture to my Facebook page 👍

[@dana.c.2270]

Thank you for this series, we appreciate it

[@JeepSolid]

Glad it helps.

Dude you are hilarious. "Gently" put it down. Good thing you weren't live. A bunch of times I was yelling at you not to do or do something. "Drill thingy", that just general terminology. Great video. Oh, love the doc Hudson mug.

[@JeepSolid]

Haha! Thanks. Not always perfect, but getting it done 👍

[@jwilson6086]

@@JeepSolid your videos are great. Look Forward to every Friday. Keep it up

[@illuaions]

Any chance leaking rear freeze plugs can leak coolant into oil? Tyx

[@littlepop4305]

Hi i got questions i have 2001 jeep xj what size freeze plug would i put thanks

[@hikerJohn]

My dad taught me to take freeze plugs out with a screwdriver. You punch a whole in them and then pry them out. I guess that's sorta what you were trying to do. Plugs did not use to last that long in the olden days before we started using good coolants. I guess it was electrolytic Degradation that ate them up.

[@jeffreycarstens9998]

I have a 91 Cherokee limited straight 6 4.0L I have the 5 Plugs on the side of the engine block are there any other ones that can be affected by the coolant ? When I look up the kit online I see the five large brass and two small brass where Would the two smaller ones go

[@Himithor]

14:52....what size drill bit did you use?

[@matt82654]

Your videos have been the BEST I have seen yet on KZbin! I am preparing to rebuild a 1981 258 and am learning so much here! One question, on the intake side of the block toward the front and about halfway down is what looks like a vent. Do you have any idea what this may be? I have most parts figured out but this one buffalos me. Thanks so much!!

[@puzecase]

What’s the purpose of those plugs and why should they be replaced? Thanks for your efforts!

[@JeepSolid]

They are used in the casting of the block. They can corrode and leak over time.

[@memozapata917]

Great video!

[@serinehart]

You could have got some square key stock may have worked for the square plugs then went to the extractor but nice video.

[@JeepSolid]

Thanks! I was looking for a square set, but couldn't find one at the store I was at. So just picked up the extractor set. Ended up working well.

[@scuba1788]

Pure comedy, sorry had to laugh, at least you had someone to hand you stuff, usually when I get in a predicament like that know one around lol

[@JeepSolid]

Haha! Yeah, was kinda comical.

[@717Jeepin]

Which rebuild kit did you use? I looked for it in a few of your descriptions and I can't seem to find it

[@JeepSolid]

Ok, thanks. Updated it to contain the link. Here ya go! Engine Rebuild Kit by Enginetech: amzn.to/2WuNdbu

[@Himithor]

8:53....You needed a hydraulic lifting table...Harbor freight sells them...👍

[@JeepSolid]

But then how would I get my weight lifting in? Haha!

[@Equinox866]

Did you put the block on a scale to find the actual weight?

[@JeepSolid]

Never did, but should have.

[@fishsticksmlg]

I see some red on the other YJ over there in jurrasic fashion ;)

[@JeepSolid]

Haha! Yep, keen eye! His Jurassic Jeep is coming along nice.

[@boonebarney5251]

How can I send you a picture of my yj?

[@Flyby-1000]

Go to his Jeep Solid FB page

[@IBWatchinUrVids]

Galley. I don't know why, but a gallery to me is for art, or something.

[@dissociativecat7495]

block 138 lb according to the google machine

[@JeepSolid]

Yeah, it's a beast, but can manage on my own

[@dana.c.2270]

Get a clapped out 3/8 extension and shave it down with a grinder.

[@JeepSolid]

I thought about that. Was afraid I'd just break it or strip it out..

[@IBWatchinUrVids]

I guess I'm lucky, my wife would have been the one lifting the block, while I grabbed tools.

[@JeepSolid]

Always nice to have a helper 👍

[@Jim_woods]

Dang I missed it

[@JeepSolid]

Haha! Me too. Had to run my kid somewhere during the premier :(

[@danhambrick6331]

That is a Cat Paw you were using,not a Cat Claw....lol....

[@JeepSolid]

Humm... is there a difference, or 2 names for same tool? Where I'm from we call them cats claw.

[@Himithor]

Welders steel toe shoes....anyone?
