Jeep: Parts Painting
By Jason Bolonski
Once the started was painted the desire to keep going was strong. I started cleaning and painting more engine parts.
The water pump, pulley, and manifolds were crying for attention.
Water Pump
Water Pump Pulley
I wasn’t happy with the belt alignment going to the water pump pulley. So, I created a shim spacer to line everything up.
Intake and Exhaust Manifolds
The intake manifold was missing a brass plug. So, it was time to fire up the mini-lathe.
You can see the brass plug installed toward the right of the photo in the intake manifold.
