I don't have any coolant in the oil or oil in the coolant, I don't get any smoke from the exhaust, no signs of excessive blow-by from the valve cover.
The overheating scenario sounds likely to me as well.
If the head does need to replaced, I will probably just save up until I can find another engine. I can't see putting that much into this one when it has almost 300k on it

Well, while I'm broke, I figured I would mess around with things.
To me it still looks mini van-ish. Its the bumpers. I would love to change them, but can't afford it.
So, I pulled out the die grinder, I think it helped a lot

Yeah I always thought the same thing about ZJs looking like minivans. Lifted with big tires they look pretty cool though. I still think you cant beat the tank look of an XJ though. Hope you can get that engine fixed or replaced sometime. Nice ZJ
