What would it be if it isnt the valves? Piston seals or something like that? I don't mind doing an engine rebuild or anything like that. Can somebody tell me if it would be economical or even feasible to try and repair this? Or would it be better to find a new jeep and part out this one?

You "baked" it?.... Fine. I get that stuff that it's attached to it is somewhat "smashed up" (body damage).

The 4.o might be pretty tough. Did you do 5 or seven cranks with that meter?, (on the second meter that maybe worked). Your numbers are odd.

Those of us looking for a good "short block" , At the JY just love it when somebody, "throws in the towel" to soon.

DO A GOOD WET/DRY TEST, (MAYBE WITH HELP. If the numbers don't change allot just the head?????

How many miles on the odometer? These are tough motors. Yea, maybe best to just move on, but you ARE here, and my .o2 is to diagnose the "pathology"
