Odessa cylinder head?
So it looks like I have to order a new cylinder head my mechanic resurfaced mine thinking it would work and it didn't! Runs a little better has perfect oil pressure and he said it was one of the cleanest jeeps he's ever worked on. I drove it home after he got done resurfacing it, popped the oil cap off and I still have coolant in oil so he said if I get new cylinder head he will put on and do everything free because he missed the crack. So my big question to everybody is has anyone ever ordered a 0331 cylinder head off ebay? I think it's Odessa cylinder heads? And are they good remakes? I don't have a whole lot of money to sink into my jeep right now I'm already in it a 1,000$

I got mine from eBay. It was J & C enterprises i believe. Their pricing was fair at best, but at-least it was brand new and it was a recast thicker version.

Coolant when combined with engine oil forms acidic compounds that will eat the bearings in short order, stop driving it now. May want to find a different mechanic as well because it seems the problem and his "professional" solution were at opposite ends of the cylinder head.
