Did you toss bushings in freezer first? Sometimes that can help when the tolerance is that tight. Also prob need a wider spread tip for torch, need much more heat and evenly applied.
What did you do to your TJ today?

All this rain we've had made my TJ grow! Joined the big(ger) TJ club, graduating to 33s today!

Now that's what a Chevy should be . . . radiused wheel wells, and Mopar power, preferably an early Hemi! Love that car!
Ordered some refurbished OEM injectors from Precision Auto Injector and stuffed my sound bar with poly fill. Surprised at how much it improved bass and rattles. Still need a better crossover to limit bass to the speakers...head unit doesn't do it...amp at some point in the future.

Yea I had the wrist pins in the freezer for days. I used a map gas torch and heated the small ends up until blue. I used a wooden block in my shop press to fine tune the positioning which seemed to work well enough for this round of pistons
What's holding this up?
Second jack with a block of wood just out of the picture
Must have finally stolen a nice hood and us now stalking for new wheels!!!!!

I have flash backs to the movie 'Two-lane Blacktop' everytime I see this 55' Chev
I need to do this. I have a shit stereo system and really don't care.. Mobile audio isn't a priority for me as I prefer silence when I drive. But my daughter cranks the stereo and I can hear the dome light rattle and air pumping out of the light housing. Maybe this would help. Anything special about this poly fill?
You must have really good earplugs. My stereo drowns out the annoying noises in my Jeep (MT tires, wind, wife).
Nothing special...raided the girls sewing room while they were out shopping. Took care of the dome light rattle and harsh thrum on low hz hits.
My next obstacle is the passenger half door soft top uppers doesn't seal worth a damn against the hard top. Might see if I can get some surgical tubing in there. Don't want to bend stuff...yet.
