Daughter overheated it, towed to shop, heater valve broken and replaced, got it started long enough to get it on a trailer. Checked oil and coolant all ok no milk or mixed. Pulled plugs, oily but not bad, replaced plugs started up but runs rough, compression check 1-5 50 or less, 6 was about 90. Pulled head, gasket is in bad shape, wet/oily on plug side. Seems to have cooked coolant around 1&2.
When I overheated my Jeep it blew the headgasket causing it to run super roughly as there was no separation between cylinders. My head was so warped I had to take it in.
