Punch me in the face - head gasket BLOWN
 

All

Started an earlier post about over heat issues. After about every symptom published concerning blown head gaskets -- white smoke, coolant bubbling out of radiator, mysterious coolant loss, oil in coolant, coolant in oil, poor performance getting worse every day -- I finally accepted the fact that my head gasket was blown as I was following the tow truck back to my house.

stripping down the head now and sending to the machine shop for x-Ray, cleaning, and resurfacing.

I was so pissed that this 1999 XJ was on the IR ... So I did what all angry owners would do....I bought my daughter a 1998 XJ. Let the games begin.

If you haven't bought a gasket yet the MLS. Stands for multiple layer steel head gaskets are very good now I know why you were pulling off your manifolds 98 and 99 were the best jeep years

Love them so far. My kids bought them for themselves and we have learned more about 4.0's than I ever thought we would. Good times.
