cj5 buggy wroteYep all day on trail1 8) ... the timimng so off raw fuel was comming out of the exaust... and the front end (yep flipped ford) needs a rebuild... u should've heard the grinding noises comming out of it... 🙁:
Glad to see you stuck to the kiddy trail, hate to see your exoskeletal green machine get scratched :wink: :lo1l: And you know what they say about about Ford right - "They circled the problem!" #-o
Anyway, flipped as in upside down, so the ends swap is what your saying? If that's the case what mods did you do to keep oil to the pinion bearing? From what I've seen gravity gets the oil back to the bottom of the pumpkin and the rotation of the ring forces some oil up the channel to the sling ring that lubes the pinion bearing.
. Let me know if I'm off here, but if it really is upside down, I don't see a way for enough oil to get to the pinion to lube/cool it??? :-| :-|
