Congratulations you are the only youtube channel I've ever subscribed to. A few minutes in and I can tell I'm gonna be coming back to these videos alot
After days of looking for a good F head tear down I came across this one. Great job man. The perfect amount of in depth explanation. Can’t wait for the rest of the videos!
The 54CJ 3B died a couple of months ago. It needs a rebuild. The local shops want $3,000-$4,000 to do it. I may try to tackle it with the help of a neighbor. This video was very helpful. Thanks.
Thank you, i am in the process of re-building another F-head out of another Jeep. I will be filming the whole process, this was a spare engine that i tore down.
Great video. I'm in the process of rebuilding the engine in my '59 CJ5. One thing I noticed on the valve springs. It looked like the #1 and #3 springs were installed upside down. The end of the spring with the tightest coils goes on top. If installed upside down, I hear that you will start to get valve float at higher rpms.
Yes it is possible someone before me installed them wrong, check out my later videos. I am go through another F-head more in depth than this one. Thanks for watching.
great video! My 56 CJ5 w the 4-134 L-Head has an issue with compression. I'm only getting about 25 psi. Is that a gasket issue or do cylinders need to be overhauled? Something else?
Why does everything look so clean? I am so used to at least seeing heavy varnish in such engines. I'm even more used to seeing some degree of sludging. 19:00 I think early L-head engines didn't have filters. Because of that, they needed to have something external added. 45:10 Yes, and many machinists can regrind the old ones if there is enough metal.
After this video I just watched what happened to measuring cylinder and bearing size measurements didn’t see a video on that and assembling the motor back together and getting it to run?

Thanks, I'm in the process of tearing down another Fhead. It will be 100% filmed on camera. This one was a spare that's still disassembled.

Getting ready to rebuild the F134. Will you have part 2 out any time soon?
I can, but i don't have any need for the engine right now. I can do the build with new components if people donate.
thanks for the information. Very well done and easy to follow. Love to see Part 2. the cleaning and painting.

Could be a weak, pump, loose bearing tolerances, or no timing gear oil jet.

Hi. Just curious as to the color of paint you used on your Jeep. Great content. Thanks.
The CJ-5 is matched original Fountain Green Poly.
After this video I just watched what happened to measuring cylinder and bearing size measurements didn’t see a video on that and assembling the motor back together and getting it to run?
I will soon, stay tuned. Many other projects going at the moment.
Sorry but my 1949 MOD 473 had the 143.2 cu in F- head standard.
