Re: What a dumb ***
Thanks Dean,
That's part of the "why" I post such experiences. If you do a search for
my name and Jeep you'll probably learn enough to write a book. Hey, what an
idea. :-)
The other part is to get stomach knots, sinking feelings, and otherwise a
hard education from Mike, Bill, Chris, and others :-).

Re: What a dumb ***
It's a good idea to change the oil at 300-500 miles after a rebuild. Most
engine builders use a cam lube, bearing lube, and some type of regular
assembly lube. Some of these lubricants are not made for sustained use, but
are made for initial engine startup to prevent lack of lubrication on a new
engine. Also, i many people will cut the oil filter open to look for metal
particles which would indicate a bearing problem. It is also common to use a
straight 30W oil for the initial few hundred miles, so if you live in a
place where there are extreme temp changes, it is a good idea to do so. It
is just good preventive maintenance.
