I just finished rebuild # 2 for the jeep. 1st one had problems with pistons scoring cyclinder wall and skirts.
This did it on both engines, at start up idle it stays up around 60 or so. When engine is reved up it goes to 0 and when you let up it just flips back and forth then settles back up to around 60. New gears and new timing cover. I am thinking gauge is toast, but I do not want another problem. Also I have heard about using diesel oil in it for break in. I used a break in additive and then changed oil after it was first started. Since I changed oil should I use more break in or what about diesel oil?
