New here. 304 CJ5 smokes pretty bad. Heads might be loading up with oil and pumping oil down valve guides. Maybe guides are shot. Maybe Maybe I'll find the drain holes all sludged up or something simple. Or maybe the cyl and rings are just plain worn out. Haven't gotten that far yet.
To the point, what should I do to improve oiling reliability, if anything at all? I won't be revving it up like a mudder or dune buggy, and I'm certainly not interested in drag racing a Jeep. Is the stock oiling system sufficient for an engine built to live in the low and mid-range revs? Should I bother with changing to those small-hole rockers and/or pushrods? Obviously won't be drilling out any drain holes unless it gets rebuilt. Gage shows 30 psi at idle. Don't know what it shows at 4k or so.
No need to suggest reading through the forum. I've done plenty of that. Lot's of posts saying "hey, look at the photo of this rectangle with a square X. It'll answer all of your questions." Too bad the photos don't work. Seems like a lot of valuable knowledge is lost somehow.
Thanks,
Chilly
