Hi all!
I'm currently starting my first annual on my CJ. Unfortunately, the first look-see isn't good. Upon opening my water filter I have discovered a biology experiment at one end and oil sludge at the other (spring) end. The filter body was heavily scored on the inside, probably from PLAAF wrench-monkey's working on it in the past, and heavily corroded. All the felt was either oil soaked or in poor condition and most of the screens were damaged in disassembling the unit.
Obviously a replacement is in order, but my question to you all is; what about the rest of the system? The oil; where should I start to look first? The compressor? How do I clean out the rest of the system?
I'm going to remove and have the main and emergency air tanks serviced at a commercial pneumatic repair shop (non-aviation) near here. Anything that I should have then do or look for over the standard IRAN type check?
Any and all info would be greatly appreciated!
