95 Cherokee Head Gasket Problem
Over the winter i bought a project XJ for $1200 Fixed it up and have been driving it everyday since, Ran amazing no mechanical problems at all. Here in the past two days or so motor has been ticking (louder than usual), Oil pressure has been way way way high, like off of the gauge and half way around. Jeep has also been running very hot stays about 218ish and fans stay on most of the time. It smells hot like burning oil/ Antifreeze. Last night i got home and i noticed alittle bit of white smoke coming from the exhaust. Ive done alittle bit of research and was wondering if anyone could help with this problem. I love this jeep I want it back to running right.
Thanks!

Have you checked your oil? White smoke out the tail pipe sounds like your burning coolant. Blue smoke is oil burning fyi.
You can a leakdown test to see if your cylinders is holding pressure, it theyre not then its probably a head gasket.
