update If for nothing else than public record heres an update on my RMS leak. Noticed it last year. First oil change of summer this year (0W-20 M1) and still leaking. Started to get a little worse in July as it got hotter (class 1 to a class 2). 2nd oil change of the summer I went with 5W-30 M1...

Tick, tick, tick....its about 90% improved at this point. Thats what a decade worth of garage dust looks like BTW. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBc3kYd4U9E&feature=youtu.be

^ This has been my experience so far...I literally left this vehicle in a garage for a decade at one point and it only took about an hour to get get it running again. Fairly impressive for 40+ year old technology.

That is the big debate my friend. The engine, and the entire Jeep, is very original right now. If I dig into it for a cam (from experience with other vehicles) it will likely be like opening pandoras box. Then I mind as well start pulling it all apart...body off, paint, new everything...etc.

Ha. Already had a TJ, have a JK...like the CJ a hell of a lot better.

Apologies, first post was choppy as hell. This is likely a worn cam/lifter noise. I think that. The fleet mechanic thinks that. A Rover guy who used to work on my series thinks that. I just have no idea "how long" I can expect a 304 to "last" with a minor/moderate worn cam which seems to...

All, I have a 73 CJ5 who is currently a summer fling only. She lives near the beach down in MA and every summer I head down to visit my parents and un-bury here from my father's garage, get a beach sticker, tinker and generally have a blast for a few weekends. The original (64000 miles) 304...

Id love to hear more about the gauge lighting/refurb...did you replace everything or just clean? What products did you use for the actual lights? Etc. That is definitely on my list of things to do.

Absolutely amazing. Ive been watching this for a few weeks now. Someday for mine...this is a 73 with the 304 and 3 speed. Jetset blue paint was original however its now wearing an attempt at spruce tip green. This Jeep was originally sold in Anchorage, AK and driven around up there for about...

Hello all, Ross from Vermont here. Been a huge jeep fan since I first rode in my dads CJ5 way back. Generally just glad to poke around and see what folks are up to and honestly to have a resource to ask those "uh oh" questions. Hope to see some of you New England guys around. The wife and I...
