head run-down
I know certain year XJ's had head problems. Can someone give a short run-down as to what years were good and which were bad. Also, I believe '95 was the best flowing head by a little bit. I need a new head and I want to get best one as several different years are available at the yard I went to.

If I remember correctly 91-95 had the H.O head. Cast #7120 Have the highest intake and exhaust port airflow. Google Cherokee H.O. head flow chart a lot of good info pops up.

Except 0630s had holes for dowels but basically the same heads
Edit... I also think 7120 heads had engine temperature sensors in the rear of the head and 0630's don't have them, they are now located on the thermostat housings instead.

I'm pretty sure your right about the temp sensor. Mine has in the thermostat housing so im guessing someone put a head on mine or put a different motor in it.
