Won't help the bearings, camshaft, lifters, etc. Water (Ethylene glycol) makes a very poor lubricant.

I would try fixing it yourself. You can get detailed write ups with step by step instructions. Then it's just having the tools, time, and money to do it.

Some people in this thread got some great deals on Jeeps.
