Publisher's Synopsis
Restore and rebuild your Jeep 134-ci 4-cylinder Go Devil and Hurricane engine with help from the foremost expert in the industry!
The famous Willys Go Devil flathead engine was developed in the 1920s, saved a car company in the 1930s, and helped win a war in the 1940s. Along with its cousin, the Hurricane F-head engine that was introduced in the 1950s, these Willys engines survived three wars and five automotive companies while soldiering on into the 1970s, when production ceased. With more than four decades of production in cars, trucks, Jeeps, and a multitude of industrial and stationary applications, hundreds of thousands of these venerable engines were produced around the globe. With most of these engines going into Jeep-brand vehicles, it gave rise to the famous phrase "the sun never sets on the mighty Jeep." A favorite of military restorers and backyard mechanics, these engines are a great project to rebuild at home. Recent advances in technology gave a new life to tired engines needing to be rebuilt.
In Jeep Go Devil & Hurricane Engines 1939-1971: How to Rebuild & Modify, noted Jeep expert Rick Péwé delves into the three different versions of the little 134-ci wonder. Machining secrets and parts swapping for enhanced durability and power is explored and explained while upgrades are unveiled for these potent little engines. A full rebuild of three different engine variants along with some common myth-busting discussions in this in-depth, hands-on book provides you with the knowledge required to rebuild your own Willys engine.
