I finally have the jeep in the garage here at home to fix a coolant leak either at the rear freeze plug or head gasket. Got the intake off and the exhaust manifold loose and hopefully will have the head off tomorrow. :repair:
A person almost has to be triple jointed at the wrist to take the intake and exhaust bolts out located between the two, and getting to them while the the engine and head are together in the engine bay is not easy. It'll be interesting to see how easily it goes back together.
What I wonder is if anyone else who may have taken their head off before, did you put the intake and exhaust on before or after you put the head back on the engine. Seems like the location of the bottom row of bolts would be impossible to get to with a torque wrench.
What products could you all recommend to clean the intake runners with to rid it of all the mess in there? Maybe spray it with throttle body cleaner and let it sit overnight?
Thanks in advance,
Jerry.
