Default which cylinder head? 85 cherokee 2.5L

Hello,

I removed my cylinder head and found out through a machine shop that it is cracked and needs to be replaced. I need some advice on what brand to use, haven't found much through research.

The other thing is I need to drive to Oregon from Phoenix, AZ at the end of this week or early next week for a new job, so I am in a rush and can't really wait a long time to order a new cylinder head.

I can turn mine in so I am disregarding core pretty much:

What size are your head bolts?

If 1/2"...........any year will work.

Make certain you have the temp sender hole...........will be good to go.\


I know that '86 up have 1/2" bolts..........maybe only the '84 that had the 7/16"............check that.
