Maybe. In a week or so, pull the fill plug and stick a digit into the fluid. See how it looks.

Default What did I do to my xj today?

I did nothing to it today because It runs like a top! Spend all day tracing a misfire on my focus, ended up being a crap ignition coil. So I got that from the JY and all the bulbs that were burns out in my xj, I replaced because she is faithful!

Awesome. Start grabbing as much scrap as you can find, and practice running beads in the horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions. You'll thank yourself later, LOL

I have a Mercruiser 3.0L in place of the 2.5L. It was just an older motor. Might have been fractured and I just didn't see it once reassembled.
