hey guys, simply started a new thread.

I have at least one piston not looking good, so I have decided to remove
and reinstall a motor somehow.

Visa upped me a little bit, and I am waiting to hear from bank.

pass side had 1 closed plug, and the throttle body is ruined, the
plate is blown crooked.

I am not going to try to get one over on Chrysler, as it was my fault plain and simple......also if
I tried and they voided my warranty and could
probably force me to buy truck before I am ready.

The outpouring of members here both publicly and PMd is
simply incredible.

My wife was truly impressed also.

Quick question, before I pull everything all apart any further.....

what are the odds the heads aren't hurt at all?

I am trying to decide between and e-bay pull out, a built shortblock, or anything else I can figure out
to get this done as quickly as possible.

I have a buddy that is going to remove and re-install for
about $400.

Getting this motor rebuilt is just too time consuming around here, and would be bound to go over budget.

Any thoughts?

AND AGAIN thanks to everybody who has offered to help in various ways.

sincerely,

Chuck/cobrakid N/A racer from here on out LOL.

The heads are probably junk also..........
I wouldn't reinstall them with overhauling them.

Jeff

I am glad you are getting a lot of help Chuck, wish there was a way I could help. Good luck with everything!

Yea I wish I could help also. If I was in your shoes I would be amazed with all the kind members on here willing to help out a fellow Jeeper in need. Good luck. Keep us posted.

I have at least one piston not looking good, so I have decided to remove
and reinstall a motor somehow.How did you find that out? Did you already pull the heads or did you borescope it? So you are going to install a new shortblock?

Man, best of Luck on the fix. I too wish I had xtra parts laying around so I could give you. Please keep us posted. Guyz that are on here giving stuff up are truly class acts. Brings new meaning to giving up the shirt off your back.

P.m. Sent Hope It Helps...........

definitely get the heads magnafluxed before trying to re-use them, and good luck!

I have not been on site much last couple weeks...Ouch...What happened?..I will keep looking for threads for a previous post...Sorry to hear Cobra

Glad to see everyone assisting as that is what we are here for!

Where are you chuck?

Chuck, can you please post some more pics? This is a great example of "when" not "if". Sorry for your loss. A detailed parts list would be great so that we all know how we can help.

If I knew anything about this truck other than how to stomp on the accelerator, I'd offer my services, but for now, all I can offer is my best wishes. I imagine, i'm not too far behind you.

Bwoody let me use a video scope (thanks alot) and I saw at least 2 pistons damaged.

Builder Bill sent me a brand new coil cover, and valve cover and really hooked me up.
Other members have offered me helpful stuff too, and honestly is is very touching.

All this from a website that we all BS on. It is hard to explain to your regular friends, and parents
how deep the appreciation for Jeeps go, on this site.
Inertia (Stu) is giving me a complete set of take out stock rods and pistons.
I bought a cam and install kit from him, and we are going to start pulling things
apart this coming weekend.

NITROUS is off the Jeep.
I removed for my family, in-laws etc. Because I look and feel like a dumb-azz in everyones eyes now.

I miss my Jeep.

I will update you guys as I get things done.

I expect to be totally on the road again as normal in about 2-3 weeks.
Like I said it is hard to get stuff done around my slower lower DE area.

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING and ALL OF THE SUPPORT.

I will be writing a new book soon, "How to go from a low buck hero, to a blown up zero faster than you can turn a key." LOL

Been following you posts, sorry it went down that way.

Keep us updated on you progress and anything else you might need.

I'm feeling a bit sketchy on the nitrous thing now. Good luck with the rebuild.

I want a copy of the book Chuck, LOL! I am glad this is getting taken care of, and with a lot of help too!!!!
