Default cylinder head info

hey guys looking at another jeep

its a 2000

is there a way to tell if the cylinder head is cracked?

i know that 2000 and 2001 were prone to cracking

how do i tell if its cracked, is there a way?

if it is, where do i find another cylinder head?

or is it better to find a pre 2000?

i like my 2000 and 2001 heads.

if its cracked youll see antifreeze in the oil...

either they crack or they never do.

mine had 40hrs of porting in it so i had mine fixed when it cracked.

dont run it when it overheats AT ALL and they wont crack. keep em cool.
