Brand spanking new to the Willy's world and this forum so feel free to put me in the right direction if this is not it. I am hoping to rebuild a 1960 Wagon and 1st step is to get it running. The Starter (I've pulled) is spinning but not kicking out to engage with the flywheel. The only...

Hi i just redid all my valves after finding out i had low compression in two cylinders of my 6 226 super hurricane. The valves fixed the compression but now there is metal shavings in my oil and a lot of them. I don't hear knocking and it's after putting in new bearings and rings but I had no...

Hi everyone. I’m looking forward to discussing all things Willys with you all. I hope I’m in the right place because my experience is with models produced before World War II. Our first family car was a Willys Whippet (I believe circa 1928) which my dad built up from parts he scrounged in the...

We got the ‘48 Jeepster and there are so many options on where to take it we're having a hard time making decisions, plus we're novices at this. The Go-Devil engine in it is a gonner. Head is gone and it's rusted to a lump. We'd like to be able to drive comfortably on city roads and go uphill...

I had multiple threads before trying to get my 6 226 running. It has a fresh rebuild but only getting 100 psi compression. I also did a leakdown test that got above 100 but couldn't get too accurate as it kept pushing the cylinder down. But from what I could tell it lost at most 3 psi. Last...

Hey folks. A bit of history: I'm working on a 1954 CJ3B and took the engine out to have it rebuilt. After the rebuild I installed a new pilot bushing and brand new clutch using a clutch alignment tool. Now the task at hand is dropping the engine back in, which I've found is much more involved...

Hey Folks - My 1950 CJ-3A has this nifty extra knob on the dash. It's not the throttle and not the choke, those are there. It appears to be connected to a spring wrapped cable that ports into the side of the Engine Head. Is it some sort of second choke or a maybe something to do with cooling...

So I'm getting the F-head in my 51 pickup rebuilt due to the back two exhaust valves being burnt, cylinders are still in good shape with minimal scoring(engine was rebuilt in the 80's), i pulled a spare engine apart that i got from a parts truck and the back two valves were burnt as well so it...

Hi all, I'm building a Lightning flathead 6 L148, casting number is 645362-3, and serial number is S20656. I believe these engines were only used in the Jeepster. Does anyone know the year it was built, engine color, and if it had an oil filter? Thank you.

Hi all, my name is Dennis and I have a collection of antique farm engines. My neighbor recently gave me a Willys L6 148 engine that sat in the open for many years without an air cleaner to keep the rain out of the carburetor, valves, and cylinder. I'm in the process of getting this engine to...

Okay, my plan to keep my Wagon includes me getting it running so its in better fashion to have work done. Today, I hooked up jumper cables in conjunction with a battery to try and start it. I managed to get a decent turn out of it, but I am not getting a fire out of it. All it does is spin. All...

Here's my situation. I have been watching my '58 Wagon sit in my driveway with almost no work done for the last 2 months. I took the seats out.....woohoo.......no. Anyway, I have found out through my dad that the engine is free, the carb linkage is free, and all parts needed are pretty much...

I am looking for a complete and running 6-226 12V. If anybody has one or any leads please let me know. Thanks
