Maybe you guys can help.
My cj3a engine has the large rear flange that partially covers the timing inspection hole making it near impossible for a old man to get twisted up enough to see the marks. I have a spare (seized) engine that came with the deal, engine s/n - R3J158838. This engine has the timing marks on the timing gear cover. There are two marks on the cover and a notch in the crankshaft pulley. Can I just swap the covers and pulleys to gain a more accessible timing check? |

Yes!, If you can get the pulley off without destroying it, lol... Lee  |

thanks for the info Lee. This should make it a lot easier to set the timing.

You do not have to change out the front cover!, an F head powered truck or wagon had a bolt on timing indicator, if you can find one at one of the vendors it would save a lot of work!, just say'in... BTW, were here to help, Lee |

If I can find the indicator then all I would need would be a pulley with the timing notch. This sounds a lot easier to do and I would keep the setup I already have on the spare engine.

You can also add a notch to the existing pulley. We can help you place that notch if you find the pointer Lee mentions. You could also do what Willys suggested at the time...  |

This Hawky guy is amazing! Did you know that when remote camping/Jeeping he has a tent for himself, and-----------one for his Jeep!  Unbelieveable. |

Well, if the ole gal got him to his camping spot she deserves a dry spot for the night. Might even slip a shot of Mr.Beam into her crankcase!
