  • Jeep 2.5 Firing Order You Can Adjust Ignition Timing on Your Jeep Wrangler by Rotating the Distributor a Few Degrees
    Jeep 2.5 firing order You can adjust ignition timing on your Jeep Wrangler by rotating the distributor a few degrees. This procedure is possible on the 4. Before starting, make sure you have the correct timing degree and RPMs at idle specified by the vehicle manufacturer. Timing your Jeep is best after you have driven the vehicle for about 20 minutes to make sure the engine has reached operating temperature. Park the car in a safe place and set the transmission to Park automatic or Neutral manual , apply the "Parking" brakes and turn off the engine. Locate the timing scale on the case cover above the crankcase pulley at the engine front end and the notch on the crankcase pulley or vibration dumper, right next to the timing scale. If they are hard to see, clean the scale plate and pulley. Then highlight the marks with white chalk or correction fluid. This wire is located on top of the valve cover. Also, unplug the vacuum hose at the distributor and plug the hose with a Phillips screwdriver of the appropriate size. Make sure the timing light wires are out of the way of moving parts. At all times, during this procedure, be aware of the rotating cooling fan so that you do not touch it by accident with your hands or a piece of equipment. Start the engine, increase the idle speed to rpm and adjust the idle to the number provided on the VECI label, following the procedure described in the same label. When ready, aim the timing light to the graduated scale on the front case cover and see what number on the scale the notch on the pulley points to.

  • Straight 6 Engine Jeep
    Straight 6 engine jeep American Motors' first straight-six engine was the It was produced from through in both overhead valve OHV and flathead L-head side-valve versions. Sometimes referred to as the engine, this engine was originally designed by Nash and introduced in the Nash Ambassador model. It featured only four main bearings , unlike the 7-main-bearing flathead engine it replaced. It was a flathead design displacing It was redesigned as an OHV engine in The flathead version was discontinued for —, but reemerged in as the economy engine for the "new" Rambler American. When the engine was changed to an OHV configuration the water pump was moved from the left side of the engine driven by a shaft extending from the back of the generator to the front above the timing chain. When the flathead model was reintroduced it also received the new water pump. Equipped with such high quality parts as forged crankshafts and connecting rods , these engines earned a reputation for remarkable durability. The flathead, however, was prone to the typical flathead problem of overheating under sustained heavy load. This was from the hot exhaust traveling through the cylinder block to the exhaust manifold. American Motors introduced a die-cast aluminum block version of the OHV It was produced through The cylinder heads for the two types of block aluminum and cast iron are of similar design, but are not interchangeable. The OHV requires more periodic maintenance than newer-model engines. The head bolts must be re-torqued retightening process regularly. The cause of the headbolts loosening over time is believed to be thermal expansion and contraction of the head due to the rather heavy design.
