I Finally Pulled the Head Today ….

So, I pulled the driver’s side head and inspected the head and cylinders.  You can see in the pics of the valves that the number #1 cylinder isn’t buring as well as #3 and #5.  Also, number 1 cylinder looked a great deal moister inside as well.  The head gasket appears fine.

I’m still uncertain what’s causing the problems as I haven’t spotted any cracks yet.  As a refresher, here are the problems:

1.  Some exhaust or blow-by escapes into the block and escapes out the intake manifold (or out the driver’s side head).

2. It sounds like it runs well until under pressure such as more than average acceleration, then it seems to run rough,  until the acceleration is let up a little.

3. Some coolant residual appears in various places after running the engine (in the form of a slightly white foam).

4. I have leakage of slightly watered oil that leaks from the oil dipstick and from the valve cover.  I can slow this greatly by disconnecting the PCV unit from the intake manifold.

Here’s a few pics (note cylinders #3 & #5 have a little liquid from pulling the head, but the #1 cylinder is much damper/oilier).

Here are some useful engine examples from howstuffworks.com. They have a number of linked pages devoted to engines. You can start here.  Here are some examples of what you will see …

Here is a classic engine (how stuff works page link):

Here is an overhead cam example (how stuff works page link):

The engine's camshaft opens and closes its valves.

This is an inline 4 example (how stuff works page link):

In an inline engine, the cylinders are arranged in a line in a single bank.

This is a V example (how stuff works page link):

In a V engine, cylinders are arranged in two banks set at an angle to one another.

I’m not sure it’s the best price, but this is an interesting trailer in good shape.

“This classic trailer has been kept inside for many, many years. Korean War era Classic, and well cared for. Faded red paint doesn’t appear to be original, but tires do. Manufacturers metal ID tag includes “P K H 1952″. Grip handle emergency brake, carrying handles. All original, right down to the tires, Nothing has been altered, just a few holes drilled and some tie downs attached.

This is a must see for anyone really interested in extremely good condition, stock miltary trailer. One man can easily move this trailer around, and the brake works perfectly. Call me at 787 (one one nine one) 1191 or email me here. Price is firm. I’d rather keep it than sell it too cheap. Thanks, Dan.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $18500.

(12/04/09) This sounds like a detailed rebuild …

“1943 Willys MB Jeep for sale. The Jeep has its’ original body and components minus the windshield frame assembly. I’ve restored over 30 vintage Military Vehicles since 1993 and this is my 3rd WWII Jeep. This is one of my finest jobs if I can say so. I applied new techniques that I learned recently that added more detail to my work. I got the Jeep operational last week and it drives perfect at 55 MPH! As any other vintage restoration, there is always some minor tweeking and tuning to get things just right. This Jeep was rebuilt by the US Army at the Esslingen Army Depot in 1952 where it received a newer type engine since the older type had long been out of stock. There are a few parts that’re Ford script marked to attest to that point….. (much more of a description in the Ad)”

(12/27/09) “I bought this flat fender as a project without a title during the summer. The weather is nice enough to work on it and it is more project than I want. It ran, but had a knock. I pulled the pan and found the #3 rod bearing spun. Crank looks ok. I pulled the body to make getting to the engine easy. Rust and cracks all over. I don’t mind engine work, but am not motivated for body work. Except for a key start, it is pretty much original equiped for 1949. 12V coil too. I had it running before I took it apart, email me for a Youtube link to hear and see it run. Make me an offer and make it your project. No title.”

“1947 JEEP WILLYS. MUST SEE! VERY GOOD CONDITION! Runs and Drives Great! This 1947 Jeep Willys was brought from Missouri to Texas a few years ago. It has been kept in a barn since. It is almost impossible to find a Willys with this little of rust! LOOK at the PICTURES! Transmission shifts smooth through all gears. Engine fires right up and runs strong. It has the flathead 4 CYL. The jeep runs and drives amazing for being 60 years old! It has an exhaust leak, but otherwise is in good shape. Let the pictures do the talking for the body. It is in good shape! This Jeep has a clear Missouri title, in hand. This Jeep is being sold on consignment, and not through the dealership. Feel free to call or email anytime with questions.”
