Im doing a head gasket on my 96 4.0 xj auomatic 4x4.
It a cheap beater i picked up for $600, so i dont want to spend any money for unnecessary things just want it to run good.
Machine shop wants basicly 500 bucks to tank the head magniflux it three angle valve job and deck it .
I can separate up these service, for instances to tank and magniflux $95.
By the way it got real hot and when i poped the head there was water in 5 cylinders.
Heres the question, Spend 25 on a head gasket and put her back together and see how it goes ake compression check.
Or do all or some of these services above.
Thanks,
