I know I have a cracked head or pretty sure. About a year ago, my oil pressure was high. I checked the oil and was overfilled. Chocolate milk oil...yikes. Couldnt afford a new car or getting the head fixed, so I used bars leak. It worked for a year.

The other day it started misfiring. Code came up shortly after...P0304...cylinder 4 misfire. Yup..milky oil.

Drained and flushed cooling system, added kseal, oil change, and replace plugs in cylinders 3 and 4. Started truck, then got misfire codes for 3 and 4 (and random misfire code).

Just did a compression check and cylinders 1,2,5 and 6 are 150. 3 and 4 are 50! Crap. lol.

So, my question is, does the cracked head cause the low compression? I know it's a typical problem on 2000 cherokees...by any chance could it be a head gasket or is it just probably the head? Not sure if the head crack causes that much loss of compression...Im not a mechanic (but owning a cherokee sure makes you learn alot).

How much for a new head? I know someone who will rebuild my engine for $1200, but I don't have it right now. How much for a new head?

Thanks
