[QUOTE="Dan_Goodwin, post: 763424, member: 4960"] Remember the mixed back of weather I talked about? It was mid 70s the day before. The next morning? [ATTACH type="full"]161229[/ATTACH] I don't like to bounce around on a project, but I can't help the weather. I spent the next 2 days checking items off my to-do list for the 5.9 since I couldn't just toss this motor in the Jeep after all the other work I've done. I decided to do the following: [LIST] [*]Install a Melling oil pump and Felpro oil pan gasket [*]Install the Hughes Engines plenum plate kit. PS – this is a really nice and complete kit. Their directions are pretty great too. [*]Install a new Melling timing chain set and Felpro gasket. [*]Replace all the spark plugs and wires. [*]Install a new belt, tensioner, water pump and a ZJ PS pump bracket. [/LIST] At my wife's request, I ordered new Weathertech mats for the front. Its almost comical how big of a difference new mats make on an interior. [ATTACH type="full"]161228[/ATTACH] I blinked and my deadline of hearing the Jeep run was here and I was nowhere close to being ready for that. With the mock-up complete enough, I decided it was time to start hustling on the final product. After about 7 hours on Saturday I had a destroyed carport and had managed to sell the 2.5 engine, ECU and air intake. [ATTACH type="full"]161230[/ATTACH] I spent Sunday getting re-organized and returning the 98 TJ back to storage. I'll focus on getting it sold once the swap is complete. My next goal is to have the motor and transmission in the TJ by 4/11. [/QUOTE]
