98+ had issues with heads cracking and or leaking... Mine went at 80,000 miles.. Guy i bought it from didnt know what was going on ran it for a bit.. now i got a new Jasper motor with 20,000 miles!

 

Well Im leaning towards just the gasket and not a head. because there was barely any coolant in it. and the oils been in there since may, and Ive Ran this ***** HARD....I might be able to go snap a picture of it. be again theres barely any milkiness in it.

 

My mistake... 2000&2001 had the head problems.. does it over heat?? short of Rad fluid?

 

Nope the oil was just milky and I have a miss one and two I cant seem to get rid of. So I thinking that my gasket is bad between 1 and 2 cause air to "seep" over to the other side causing it to miss, because it ALWAYS do it together. And it doesnt over heat, and I do have coolant loss be thats cause my rad has a whole in it by the top outlet.

 

Just posting this for my own later and future use.

Hope its the right year, I didn't check. Haha I'm on my phone.

 

There was some slug and thats about it

 

Im not sure if that thats worth me changing my head gasket..Im doing a compression test this weekend. So we'll see how that turns out.

 

I got a new 02 sensor


And heres my spark plugs

 

I must be ****ing retarded or something or they gave me the wrong tester but my compression tester wouldnt work. I think maybe its cause I didnt have the throttle body wide open. who knows. But I'll try again next weekend. And Also when I was having downsy moments i forget the order for the disp cat. And did it 1,2,3,4,5,6 not 1,4,6,2,3,5 (thats not right, thats just the example) And I was freaking a **** thinking i broke something. It wasnt the best weekend.

 

Oh if anyone know about boat engines my '63 Johnson outboard needs some help :/

 

Go my new mirror in the mail today!! It was $35 bucks though >

 

Well just an update. No misfires, knock on wood. For almost a week now. I still need to put in the o2 sensor and Ive picked up a new hobby and love it. Mountain biking. So epic.

 

 

Going doorless in February in Ohio. Yeah its 60* out!

 

Well I think my misfire is caused by an engine knock. Edit: turns out I have no knock

And oddly enough sometimes my jeep is hard starting and its like someone diconnected the battery because my CEL will go off and my radio will be rest BUT my trip is still good. (like not my mileage but the one you use for trips and mpg and stuff.)

Still gotta find that leak. Just not enough time in one day!!!
