in the corps a guy come up to me and ask "do you want a pop? " i looked at him and said " you touch me i will beat your A--!!" 10 mins later im looking around everyone has a coke in their hands.....so i ask "hey!!! nobody asked me if wanted a soda!"

appointment with muffler shop is wed so i got shopping to do

exhaust manifold gasket
intake gasket
port and polish??? ( brings up tool questions)
distributer???
TR update parts
bolts for manifold
if they need to take body parts off........i might as well refinish with POR15 and UPOL raptor as well as sanding disks? or paint thinner?

i have been putting some peso back for tires and lift might as well put it towards the pow lol i got 21,330.40 peso ($1700)for this project but hopefully wont take all of it

anybody think of any thing else that could be done ????

lifter? maybe a loose rocker arm

so if the head needs work.....there is a place less than 3 miles from me that has reman head ( they have AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l in stock ) for $200 exchange or $50 extra without......im finding that there few CJs near me but a boatload of parts

exhaust manifold was put in as well as gaskets for both intake and exhaust...took it to muffler shop they installed a flowmaster and took the pipe behind the driver side rear tire, so far no backfire and increase of the top end....got it on the intrerstate so far so good....tomorrow go get the TR update parts
