Glad you gave dimensions on bolts and studs. All of my originals disappeared after 23 years.

This man is in love with this engine and I wonder if his wife now that.Thanks and be safe.

I soak bolts with penetrating oil for a couple weeks. Amazing results but it does take a couple weeks at least on bad stuff. WOOD shims! Brilliant.

I'll be watching all of your videos. I inherited an original 48 2a from a family member that was the original owner. It has been sitting since 95 and is due for a restoration. Original color was Luzon red. The engine has been changed at some point but it's not red, it's kind of a light bluish color. I even have the original hubs for it as well as the hand crank starter.

Fantastic. Welcome to the Family 👍👍👍👍👍

Another great video Scott! You made some great points especially regarding followers, convex face plus returning good used ones to their original placement & not mixing them up. Some observations that may help others: 1. When removing valve keepers [sometimes when just doing a valve regrind] lay paper towel or rag along the valley so dropped keepers don't just disappear. 2. Removing main bearing caps ~ note the lettering or numbers on the caps so that are put back the right way round. Reversing will cause shaft lockup when re-assembling as tunnel is no longer round &/or concentric. 3. From around 22.00 ~ 23.00 note the 5 or 6? dowels that locate the main bearings shells. Can't remember now the last Jeep engine I did, was a long time ago. These stepped dowels are held in the cap or block by smaller drillings in the bearing shell. These dowels are sometimes missing or get lost on disassembly. Not fitting dowels on reassembly ~ bearing shells will spin & block off oil supply. 4. @ about 22.00 the BEARING CAPS show just one hole in each of the bearing shells. These holes are for holding the dowels in place 5. @ about 23.00 the bearing shells in the ENGINE BLOCK have 2 holes one for the dowel & one for oil feed. This feed is not only for the main bearings, but feeds off through the crank to adjoining connecting rod bearings. 1 main feeds con rod 1, 2 main [or middle] feeds con rods 2&3 + 3 main [or rear] feeds con rod 4. 6. A trap for young players is that these cap & block bearing shells will interchange [when they shouldn't] & if this is done inadvertently, oil supply to the main & adjoining connecting rod bearings will be blocked off. Oil pressure gauge will show great oil pressure! 7. If done incorrectly or dowels are left out the engine will be promptly destroyed.

I have a 46 CJ2A that I plan on pulling and rebuilding the motor, and this video is my new best friend for it. Love the channel, inspiring for me to get mine done. Tub is sitting in the crate, if the cold weather would leave now I'd be set!

I've got my (late) Great Uncle's '46 Willys CJ-2A "Jeannette" named after my Great Grandmother. Poor thing, she's seen better days & is going to need a LOT of work. But, she runs & gets me to & from the grocery store (and ONE drinkin' establishment 2 years ago). Good luck with your project Brandon and PEACE to all from Aurora, CO!

Great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge, and waiting for the assembly video

I loved this video. It was just the way it should be done. Only thing I would add is there might be the need for a ridge reamer to remove a cylinder ridge at the top of the cylinder? This is normally the area that is above the piston ring travel and did not have the very common piston ring wear.

Really cool. Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks, just getting to that point in the restoration . Great video!

Great video! Thanks !!!

EXCELENTE INFORMACIÓN,GRACIAS

Fabulous video with great lighting and camera work. Thanks! One question - my new-to-me 49 CJ3a has a governor on it (that’s been disconnected) but no PTO unit. Is this unusual? I thought the two always appeared together.

God bless you man ❤🙏

THANK YOU !!!!

Oh & I forgot to mention when refitting the distributor clean up the bore & use Kopr Kote or similar smeared on the distributor shaft body. And the splash shield ~ Spacers are essential & are these bolts the same as the rest of the oil pan? Be careful refitting that these bolts DO NOT damage the timing cover as sometimes happens when the spacer is left out.

Could you pass me the tightening specifications (torque and order) of the engine cap? my engine is Continental 4cc Flat head cj3a! thanks

GOOD INFO

I was wondering how much you would charge to rebuild one of these engines? I have a 47 cj2a and I don't want to get overpriced. Thank you for the video.

muito bom..

What piston and bearing you use? Oversize 10 20 or 30?

Engine had 6.2:1 compression ratio to most likely cope with the worst fuel available during the conflict. Maybe down to 80 octane or even worst. Wondering if it wouldn't be possible to slightly raise CR in order to gain a bit of torque while still running 87 octane regular unleaded fuel (US standard). What about 7.5:1 ? What do you guys think?

Hi Scott, I have been enjoying your videos and thanks for sharing. Quick question: I took my 1945 CJ2a out of the barn where it has been sitting since 1983 and put some oil in each spark plug hole. When I turn the engine over with a socket handle on the hand crank boss I seem to run into a hard stop in both directions. Any thoughts? It almost feels like I get through all 4 cycles before the stop. Thanks , Andy

Sounds like your rings are either rusted or have made a ridge in the cylinder wall. That’s a long time to sit. I’m glad your attending to it. You say a 45 2A? That’s impressive and a sought after Jeep. Not many out there . My suggestion, first soak the cylinders with Marvel Mystery Oil. Be patient, see if that helps. Soak for a few days and turn. If that doesn’t work, pull the head and look inside. Thanks for watching my friend. Let me know how it turns... literally, out👍

Nice 👍👍👍

What did you use to free up the distributor mine is stuck big time. Love the video
