Hi guys.Sequence of the test.

In two years I ran only 230 km or 143 miles.(jan16-jan18)

How to remove the porcelain from a spark plug shell and install a tire valve in the shell by brazing?Anyone did this procedure?Anyone has pics showing?Thanks.Regards.

Sludge, as seen as a thick layer of congealed oil and crud at the bottom of the oil pan is probably mostly due to blowby from bad rings and contributed to by a poorly tuned engine as well as one that is not driven much. The condensation seen in the oil filler tube as a whitish/grey layer is definitely due to condensation. That is from a warm (not hot) engine being left in a damp, cold environment where moisture forms. This is usually pretty much eliminated once the jeep is driven for a few longer drives than just down to the store or the post office. If you take a few 30 mile plus drives then the engine and the oil will reach a temperature high enough to burn off the water vapors in the crankcase and oil filler tube. Again....starting with a well-tuned engine you can determine if you have sludge or not and checking the dipstick/oil filler tube after those few longer hot drives. Dropping the pan and cleaning out that sludge is a very GOOD maintenance plan as any bits of metal or chemicals in it that are unfriendly to bearings will be removed that way! Another friend's recommendation.

Page 9,Driver's Manual series B3-B,B3-C. Who is guilty? 1.Diaphragm fuel pump. 2.Worn piston rings. 3.Continuously operated below normal operating temperature.

Hi guys.I knew a news these days: "FUEL DOES NOT TURN OIL GREY,coolant does."

Also good listen another opinions.Thanks.Regards.

For a while my fuel pump is ok,without leakage.I sent a message to THEN&NOW and ask if exist a several sizes of diaphragm pull rod.They answered me that exist.My diaphragm pull rod has 50 mm.I think the correct to my fuel pump will be with 47mm.

The ideal suggestion is to clean the jet carb with air pressure.

Ok.Then I will can use all the time.I love carburetors.Thanks Merle.Regards.

Ok.Thanks.Regards.*Note:If you want write me more in PM.

I never will use it then.Thanks.Regards.

I bought this tool yesterday.What is it for?Cleaner drill?

Was IND-7 engine original in your WC-12(military)? Why IND engine in these PU? IND engine was especific for what?(stationary)

Yes 25% ethanol.I changed engine and filter oil day 8th.I had never changed its oil since two years ago.It runs a little kilometers per years.This water in oil(increased level) and (grey color) is caused by condensation.Now I will follow every day if its color is good.I will contact then&now if they have a shorter diaphragm stem to my case.

My IND number is 69661C

I think this pic speaks that I have to find another diaphragm with shorter stem.In this way I will can withdraw(does not need) the 5(five) paper gaskets.

Today I put a copper crush washer in the drain plug.Did not overtighten.Stopped the leak.I was looking the notebook of my PU and saw that the last oil change was january,27th 2016,in two years it ran only 230 kilometers.It is because I am thinking now this water in the crankcase can be by condensation.

Hi guys.Now I withdrew the crankcase oil.I noticed that first fell a liquid like WATER(fast fall) and after an slow fall(oil).The can with these mixture became cold like a presence of water.The color grey and the wind arrived and moved the surface of the mixture(water+oil),looks like pure water.I functioned the engine and leaked oil through the thin flange gasket.I will do now a thick gasket.It is all for a while.I never changed the engine head gasket since 1987 when I bought this PU.Regards.
