Better stop and change it before you trash your engine

Why not sell your 95 and buy a new head, the hit you will take from using its head will be more than you can buy one for

The 95 is garbage and I was selling it for $400, I can still get more than I paid for it back after scrapping it

Doing the work is easy.

Make sure you have that head machined before you put it on the Jeep.

Knew it was coolant in the cylinders, sounded like an identical situation to an old Honda I had. Overheated the engine and it would sound like a Subaru when I started it up. There weren't any mosquitoes at my High School for a good 3 months though! Drove it around like that for a solid month before I traded it in on another car. Couldn't believe the damn thing kept running. Say what you want about Honda's, but the damn things are downright indestructable.
