1st, a thank you in advance because I've seen how patient you guys ca be.
7 yrs ago I got my cj8, fuel tank straps broke on the short ride home, fuel pump, blah blah.
Thought I was going to be adjusting rockers because of the tapping up top.
Just got "permission" to get to work on it and found 1 push rod thrown, another bent, lifter sitting on it's side in the block and of course it ran like that.
Pulled head, cured lifter issue but have a hard time finding the head bolts to replace these. Easy to find 1/2 (part # 112-3601) but stuck find this year's 7/16 set.
Only 1 stud looked hinky. Looks like a prior head removal included an exhaust bolt a bit too long so it chewed on the threads. Maybe the guy knew and put the bolt in after installing the head.
Looking for bolts but would like absolutely ANY advice as I'm sure to do things at least twice.
