00 XJ want to replace sensors ect
I have a 2000 XJ with well over 200k I know the motors are bullet proof. However, I have to replace the head gasket, nasty white crap. With income tax season coming up I want to put a couple hundred into the motor. With sensors I don’t know much about. With that said can y’all guide me on what I should replace/upgrade? Any other suggestions on what I could do? I understand the fuel injection upgrade and plan on that. Basically just a mini refurbish haha. I will also continue to browse, I just don’t know what to really search for, thanks. Nate |
Are you having to add any antifreeze to your coolant reservoir?
How do you know the headgasket is bad? Have you run a compression test? What do you mean by "nasty white crap". Is that on the oil filler cap? There is a known cylinder head defect with the 00-01 XJ. Not saying that is in play here, but that is why I asked the above questions. |
It definitely needs a head gasket, runs terrible, smokes and the oil is milky, yeah there is a nasty white oily stuff on the cap and on the head, I bought it like that it was only $400. it’s been sitting, ive been fixing body damage. I more less just want to replace known issues and upgrade parts, give it new life. I will have the head machined and checked out for sure. |
Do yourself a favor and perform a compression test before making any long range plans, if you don't have one you can rent a gauge at most auto parts stores.

That head must be checked out for cracks. If it is cracked and coolant has been running through the engine for more than a short time, that trashes engine bearings very quickly, and then you would have bigger issues. Keep that in mind as you proceed.
