I hate to admit this here, so I humbly approach the wise BITOG members….
I pulled the head off of my Jeep to get an idea of if I should do a full rebuild of the existing engine, find a better used one, or get a remanufactured engine. Then I went on vacation.
Since I discovered a ridge with lots of carbon buildup, I thought I’d soak the pistons while I was gone. So, I leveled off the pistons and poured in a mix of ATF and Marvel Mystery oil. I set the head back on and rolled on to vacation.
Once I got home, in my excitement, I took the head off and found Cylinders 1 and 4 were still full, 2 partially full, and 3 empty. Plus I had a mess of oil under the Jeep. Not thinking, I spun the crank…..yup, it instantly hit me that I just filled my cooling passages with oil.
What can I do about that?
The ridge is much less now that most of the carbon is off.
Thanks.
