And the spark plugs are only about 2 months old.

 

looka like your rings are burning up and you have a crack in the head

 

Aw thats not tooo bad lol

 

ehh hope I don't have a cracked head...She hasn't been running hot and I'm not really loosing coolant. At least nothing major. I done an compression test in an engine rebuilding class I had last year and it all came back okay don't recall what the specs were. I did find out that my ccv line was all clogged up and my intake, air cleaner and throttle body are coated with oil. So I got a new line and going to clean it up real good.

 

Awesome Xj, took me a year to find decent cup holders in the junk yard
are those rancho control arms square by chance?

 

Thanks man! And yeah I was in the yard one day not really looking for them and there they were! Cupholders only cost me 50 cents haha. And yeah those are the rancho square control arms.

 

are they the older ones with the almost undersized bushings like so?

 

Mine are exactly like that but the bushings that came with them almost seemed to big, they're were quite snug going in.

 

have you found any suitable replacement bushings for those?
I lucked out and found the same size ones in a jy almost new bushings

 

No man I haven't really looked for replacement bushings. Haha haven't needed to yet, mine are still good.

 

mine are too, thought I had found some through a shop I order them up when I went to pick them up they had ordered me washers
I am jealous of the 50cent cup holders, I got charged $5

 

haha 5 bucks! Well thats not too bad still. I saw you can buy them online for somewhere between 10 to 20 so hey still did good. And they really ordered washers? haha. I think you probably could get some through rancho or energy suspension.

 

don't forget the metered orifice in the valve cover, rear most, I cleaned the hell out of mine but I am still getting oil in the intake.

 

Totally! I was lucky a new orifice came with that vacuum line I bought. I kind of hated paying 10 bucks for that little line but oh well at least I get a fresh unclogged line right.

 

Nice, still getting oil in the intake?
