| ![]() Shouldn't an ac compressor be watertight? It has to be airtight right? |

And what about the clutch and the thrust bearing. How would that be waterproofed? Do you get waterproof thrust bearings for the clutch? Quote:
I have a few queries. Why a new oil pump when you bought a new engine? Didn't the Oil Pump come installed in it? Same with the fuel pump. So why didn't you go infor a new 5 speed gearbox. Unless it doesn't perform as well as the 4 speed offroad. I'll agree with Jeeps not being cheap to maintain. I wonder how the Gypsy fares in this aspect, since it is petrol, lighter, and newer technology. Regards Last edited by Dippy : 16th December 2009 at 15:16. Reason: Back to back posts.

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() One can't bolt on a 5-spd NGT520(right) 'box on to a CJ3B. On a DI-Turbo, yes. That said, acquiring a 5-speed 'box is very difficult. One of our members still hasn't found a lever because they are batch manufactured at the factory/vendor. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() GTO, Can you give me throw some light on how did you manage the RTO endorsement of new engine ? I have placed order for new engine now, and wanted to know the process. |

Just get in touch with your RTO agent, give him a copy of the Mahindra bill (showing that its an OEM engine) along with chassis / engine imprints. He'll take care of the rest. |

1. FIP (will service it) 2. Alternator (already serviced and in good condition, otherwise will upgrade to 135amps) 3. Starter motor (already serviced and in good condition) 4. Ply wheel (good conditioned one is in my current engine) 5. Head (current one is in good condition) 6. Valves (will replace with new ones) 7. Valve door (my current one will be used) 8. Breather cap and tube (my current one will be used) 9. Head gasket (will buy new one) 10. Head bolts (will buy new one) 12. Waterpump & fanbelt pully (new water pump and fan belt pully from current engine) 11. Any other missing item above or inside the head (may be new or the existing ones) All these items except the head bolts will be taken from my current XD3P, may be I will take a brand new water pump to support the oil filter body's water circulation requirement as my current setup doesn't have the water circulation tube open. I will be selling the block, crank shaft, timing gears, connect rods, timing cover and any other stuff left out from my engine for donor engine requirement. The pistons and rings will be scraped. | ||

In addition to what GTO said, if you have something like what we have here - the WIAA (western india automobile association), they can help you. The guys here are very knowledgeable and smoothen out the process. You don't interact with the RTO, but they do on your behalf. Their charges are negligible. You need to be a member though. |

| ![]() GTO - that is one neat Classic you have there. I remember interacting with you over phone back in 2003 when I was on the lookout for a Classic Sorry for going slightly ![]() Bangalore Jeepers - any good (and I mean 'real' good) Jeep mechs for reference? I used to give my Classic to India Garage (Victoria Road) for regular service but they stopped taking anything except Scorpios and Logans and pointed me to their Hasserghatta branch which is like 50 kms from my place ![]() Help!!!!!!!

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Since the Vtecs gone, I've been using the Jeep as a daily driver to work. It's a throwback to the college days really, when the Jeep was my only daily drive vehicle. She's performing wonderfully at the moment. In the last 1.5 years: - All axles changed (one broke, changed the other three as a preventive measure) - Cross member changed (damaged after an OTR) - Steering overhaul (on its last visit in November 2008) - New Amaron Tractor battery installed Link to thread Somehow, it just feels special each time that you drive it. Immense satisfaction and one doesn't get "bored" at all. I like 'em torquey, tough and heavy. |
