Old Willys Tech Parts Board
- Does this group still have a parts board?
- If so how do I find it?
- Were all of the photos on the old group left behind?

Loose Tappet Adjuster Solution?
Full Disclosure:? I also posted this on the CJ2A Forum.
When I adjusted the valve clearance on my L 134 engine I discovered that one valve tappet adjuster was loose enough to turn with my fingers. This is the first time I adjusted the valve clearance since the engine was re-built many years ago.? I sought the advice of the engine re-builder and his technicians. (In my judgement the tappet adjuster must have that loose when initially installed.? However, since the engine was rebuilt many years ago and the company has changed ownership, they didn't take any responsibility.)? They offered three solutions.? First solution: Replace the tappet and adjuster which entails near-complete engine tear down.? Second solution: Use a vise grip to squeeze the tappet flat spot in graduated steps until the distortion creates sufficient resistance.? Third solution: Clean the tappet adjuster threads using lacquer thinner, set the clearance, then apply LockTight blue.
?
I favor the third solution as a starting point because it doesn't result in physical damage.
?
What advice can you offer?

Re: [External] Re: [WillysTech] 贬别补诲补肠丑别…..
If the clutch pedal is almost all the way up before engaging then the clutch must be way disengaged when it is pushed all the way down. ?Which should let the tranny shift , no? ?You can likely install the disk backwards. ?On most clutches you can. ?there is usually a “flywheel side” stamped on the flywheel side of the disk.
So what he is saying is that the clutch never disengages? ?Making it impossible to shift. ?SO what does it mean Clutch does catch? ?Sounds like it never disengages, so what does catch mean?

Check your clutch release lever. It may not be seated properly.?
Can you install the clutch backward? Been so long since I've worked with one I don't remember. I suspect not.?
Throw out bearing/bushing isn't in all the way or is binding? I'd investigate the drag by jacking it up off it's wheels. In 2 wd with the engine?not?running push the clutch in and have someone spin one wheel with the other wheel held tight so the driveshaft turns. Does it drag? If not that eliminates the brakes. But if it does drag could also be wheel bearing etc. Repeat with tranny on neutral, then transfer case in neutral to help isolate the problem.?

Re: Seeking Advice on Ross Steering Box
Thanks, Pavel, for the response.
Yes, all ball joints were replaced, the front end professionally
aligned, and the steering box is securely bolted to the frame.
I have considered a Saginaw box but at my age (78) I'm not sure
I'm up to the installation.? My son had a 47CJ2A with manual
Saginaw steering so I know the improvement it can make.? So, I'll
stick to the Ross setup and rebuild it this winter.

Rod, ?It
depends on what you are trying to accomplish... if you want to
keep your Willys (closer to) stock, then by all means replace
anything worn in the Ross box. ?Can I assume there is little play
in all the various ball joints and that the box is truly secure to
the frame?
If, however, you want better steering - probably better than
it left the factory, then upgrade to a modern design, be it Ford
or GM derived. ?Our Willys was much improved from the driving
stand point with a GM Saginaw upgrade. ?You can get a Saginaw
box in power or manual versions.
Cheers, Pavel up north.

The problem:? Loose steering.? Sector shaft moving in and
out 1/8" to 1/4 " as wheels are turned. The sector shaft
doesn't appear to move laterally --? as though the bearings
are worn.?
Four or five years ago when I rebuilt the steering box I
didn't replace the worm gear shaft or the sector cross shaft
because the gear seemed OK and the "nubs" on the sector
shaft appeared to have little wear. nor did I replace the
sector shaft bearings.? I replaced the worm shaft bearings
and followed the recommended procedure for shimming them.?
The worm gear shaft does NOT have any vertical play. The
drag link parts were replaced and adjusted per instructions.
I replaced the stock adjusting screw with a TightSteer and
have lived with the looseness in the steering ever since.?
Now I want to improve the steering.? So, I jacked up the
front end, placed jack stands under it so the wheels were
free to move, and worked the steering wheel through its
travel arc from full right turn to full left turn.? I
loosened the TightSteer and with the front wheels turned
fully for a right turn, tightened the TightSteer by hand
until it was snug.? Repeated this for left turn to test the
tightness of the adjustment.? Repeated this several times
then locked it in place by tightening the lock nut.? RESULT:
the sector shaft movement was reduced but not eliminated.
?
So, perhaps I'm looking at fully rebuilding the steering box
complete with new worm shaft, sector shaft, and bearings.?
Your thoughts.

Re: Seeking Advice on Ross Steering Box
The adjustment should be made with the wheels in the straight ahead position. Tighten screw until slight drag is felt and tighten locknut. The spring in the tight steer could be worn out. Make adjustments with wheels off the ground.?

Subject: [WillysTech] Compass for a 3B

I just bought a Ritchie compass for the jeep, mounted it on the windshield, but it just wont calibrate.? (Too much steel!)? Off the jeep it is reasonable accurate.? Does anyone have any ideas?? (Other than digital!)

With what is going on today, I’d say at least 30k.
