Info needed: for a 13-3-53 CDN Jeep

[Bob Carriere]

Got everything bolted back on the jeep and she started right up....oil was at 25 pounds cold....... it did take longer for it to go down but down it went. After 15 minutes we had 3 or 4 pounds on the mechanical gauge..... back to 20 at a fast idle..... engine runs smooth no knocking or missing.

With much regret the owner and I have agreed that the next step will be a tear down and rebuild during the cooler months of the Fall Winter. Safe to give the grand kids rides but only on the farm.

Except for the fishing to get the pump back in the same timing position of the distributor, the job is technically relatively easy. so now we have a new pump and can plan rebuilding an engine around it...... dropping the exhaust pipe is a must for hand clearance. 3 hands are a must as someone has to hold the rotor by hand in the same original position while inserting the pump.

Off for a few weeks at a cottage but when I return I will be tackling my slipping clutch problem on the C15A ....
