Summerlin area.

Address:
9809 Russett Wood Circle.. 89117

Things for jeep;

'94 XJ ceiling console lights work but need re wired.

'94 rear sway bar

'94 rear hatch panel (the plastic with carpet thing)

Brown Dog Motor mounts (brand new!) I just got these in the mail last week and they are just sitting in the box. But I need the money more then I need the mounts. Asking $85 for these as they are still brand new. You just don't have to pay shipping or wait for them to be made.

Then I have a bunch of other stuff from around the house that my family is getting rid of.

Is that cold or hot engine? was the throttle opened up? Heat makes all the parts expand to fit and seal. Have you tried cleaning the engine out? Running a ton of carb/ brake cleaner though the intake and running it, sea foam, and if you are feeling dangerous water cleaning. Iv had engines drink sand, mud, water, and so on for a long time and still go my last Toyota was hydro locked upwards of 7 or 8 times while I owned it and that had well over 300k on the engine. It still ran and was drivable. If it was a hot engine ready to go I would start with scoping the cylinders and looking and the walls and the valve seats. Could just be dirt on the seat not letting them seal

It's possible because there is alot of pressure building up in the valve cover? It's never happened to me
