ANY HELP OR IDEAS ...THANKS

Check the oil level on the dipstick. If it is over full, you most likely have a bad fuel pump and you should not drive it any longer. Smell the oil, if it smells like gas, stop. You will need to rebuild the pump, drain the oil and filter and change them.

AS I STATED JOHN IT ISNT BUT TAD OVER FULL..OIL DOES NOT SMELL LIKE GAS I EVEN TOOK A LIGHTER AND LITE IT ON THE DIPSTICK TO SEE IF THERE WAS A FAINT FLASH..NOTHING ...


I WILL DRAIN IT TO CORRECT LEVEL WHICH I WILL BET ISNT A PINT TO REMOVE..SOMETHING ELSE IS GOING ON ..I HAVE CHECKED ALL VENT LINES ALSO THIS HAS THE FORDING KIT ON IT BY THE WAY

Check the PCV valve and line to the PCV valve,could be plugged and not taking care of the blow-by and that is the only way that pressure can escape other than blowing a seal. just a thought.

Sounds like you have your fording valves are closed and you are pressurizing the crank case.

CHECKED PCV VALVE --CLEANED IT OUT

Do you mean you found the PCV valve plugged up or just that you cleaned as a precaution?

FORDING VALVES ARE OPEN AND HAVE BEEN..I JUST TOOK THEM APART TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE CLEAN

Then severe ring wear and blowby are the next choice. But your compressions readings do not seem to indicate that. Were your readings taken with the engine at operating temps and the choke and throttle plates wide open?

Did you remove the vent adapter from the side valve cover and confirm it is not plugged?

GIVE WES K 5 STARS TODAY !!!!!!! THAT VENT WAS RUSTED SHUT ..

IT IS NO LONGER ATTACHED TO THE M38 ABOUT THE TIME I REMOVED THE VALVE COVER MY NEIGHBOR WHO IS 78 SEEN THAT FUNNEL LOOKING THING WAS FULL OF RUST A;ONG WITH THE PCV TUBE WAS ABOUT 1/2 FULL TOWARDS THE PCV VALVE..

RUNS LIKE A CHAMP ...ONCE AGAIN THANKS WES IT THE LITTLE THINGS THAT DRIVE US NUTS WITH THESE JEEPS !!!

ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND I WILL BUY YOU 2 BEERS ....

Enjoy your jeep this week end!!
