did you do a compression test before you tore off the head? probably be easier to tear out the motor and put it on a stand if you are doing all of that... one thing though, you get it running right, it will run for another 400k... just saying... jeeps are beasts... and what ever you learn off this one, pretty much applies to all xj's

4 was 112

That was the reason with also burning thru a half tank of oil on a 45 min trip on flat ground.

Leefer should just toss a sb350 in it and get it over with

If he has a 4cyl, doesn't that mean there's a good chance he's got the 4.10 axles under that thing?

Ya it's a 4 cylinder. As for the axels no clue. How much would a new engine cost and as for installation I have no heated place to work on it.

A "new" engine would be expensive. I see used 4.0L I6s on jeepforum.com and on craigslist fairly often for $400-1000.

ya I just got one out of a 93 with 104000 on it for 200. It's nice to know people who know people .

anyways, when's this lift going on?? I'm totally down for it and have a buddy who could come (I just put his 4.5" RC on last week). We got tools..ie. air compressor, impacts, etc. we can bring just when and where
