4.0L HO Jeep Engine Build
Thank you very, very much. This means a lot to me coming from you. :cheers: Well, you gave it your best shot and it was an experiment so what the heck, now we know. :)
My 3 hour job today turned into a 5 hour job so I didn't get home until well after 4 had to feed the dogs, put clothes in the dryer, etc. I got out to the garage and realized how dang tired I was so I figured I'd take care of the small stuff and have it ready to drop in Sunday morning. I'm physically beat and dropping in an engine by myself when dead tired is a bad idea, so I figured tonight was a good time to pay attention to detail and make sure everything is tip top and ready to roll.
I replaced all the O-rings on the oil filter adapter bolt and adapter and installed it. I installed the adapter from the later engine although either would fit fine. Note that there is a roll pin that locates the adapter in the proper position (not shown in picture) and if you get this wrong you can either mush the roll pin or crack the adapter. BTW, I always grease the o-rings to facillitate installation and to prevent leaks from pinched rubber. Just above the adapter is the oil pressure sensor fitting. Be sure you got this in and I always use liquid teflon on pipe thread style fittings to prevent leaks.
