Bret,

I think the big question, is the price of a set of pistons and cylinders or
liners. The cylinders are going to miss oil, long before the crank will.
You are wasting your time even thinking about an oil radiator. All it will
do, is cool your oil below the point where water evaporates. Then your sump
is going to be an acid sludge generating facility. You are finally
beginning to see the light on the electric heat issue. A bread van has to
have a lot more than 100 hp. Don't think that you can ***** nilly adapt all
bread van technology to the Jeep.

Let me get them off and look at them first! The jugs can be honed and
oversize pistons fitted but let's see what we have first. You cannot
get them off without the wrench and that's on its way.

I have a catalog of Deutz OEM and aftermarket parts on its way too.
The guy I ordered the books and wrench from said figure on a thousand
bucks if the crank is turnable and the block not tore up, and if you're
lucky the cylinders will hone out.
