4 Cyl Engine Bare Block for 41-53 Jeep & Willys with 4-134 L Engine
Finally the 4-134 L engine has been reproduced!!
All machined surfaces are milled to original design specifications. Block includes: Valve guides; hardened valve seats, NPT threaded oil galley plugs, freeze plugs and camshaft expansion plug.
– Cylinder Bore: 3.1255 +/- .0005
– Valve Guide Bore Diameter (In & Ex): .374 +/- .0005
– Valve Seat Surface Width: .09375? to .125 +/- .0005
– Tappet Bore Diameter: .626 +/- .0005
– Oil Galley Taps/Plugs: NPT 1/8 & NPT 3/8
– Oil Galley Taps – Tapered
The machining operation is using automated CAD CNC machining with tolerances exceeding .0005 inches-far more precise and exceeding the tolerances of American-made ’40s Willys engines.
Sample blocks were completely maped on a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) and created a 3-D drawing in Solid Works to begin the process. The CMM factory used can measure up to 1.5 micrometers in accuracy (0.000059″).
In effect, they reverse engineered the 4-134 L engine block and set it up as such. Instead of using a green sand casting as the original blocks were made, they used the investment cast method for more structural integrity and durability, as well as surface finish and machining surfaces, even though it is more expensive. In addition, the new grey iron blocks have a higher content of chromium and copper for added strength and durability over the original design.

Q: Are you going to do the same with the 4-134F engine?

Q: Can we now build a complete brand new L head with parts from your store? Can I get the vin number from my 3A stamped on my new block from the factory, this would allow me to have a number matching jeep? I could supply a copy of my motorized title and any other info needed. My stock engine was stolen during the rebuild.
- A: We can help you out with pretty much everything from start to finish. These are pre stamped at the factory, so you cannot get the numbers of your old engine put on.
