and this is after it ran for like 5 mins to op temp.this is the bolt to the far right of the first pic.

Hard to say for sure, I'm leaning towards the gasket.

If it was mine and the compression was good, no oil in the coolant, no coolant in the oil etc... I would slap some rtv over that and keep on going till the engine blows. That's just me though...

The older heads are pretty strong and I doubt it's cracked, but if it's been overheated really bad it could have warped the head.

It's a lot of work to replace the gasket and if you're going to do that, and the Jeep has high mileage, then i would go as far as to have the head rebuilt- cleaned, new valve seals, maybe a valve job, and install new lifters.

think i may replace the motor found a 94 engine with 110k miles for 450.my motor has 180k bad rings and leaking head.not sure if the 94 will be directr replacment tho.
