It just started recently that my temp will climb rapidly and go all the way into the red. When it gets close to the red I start hearing clinking noises that sound like detonation. Also, smoke will start to come out from around the valve cover and out the oil cap hole if I take the cap off. Is my head gasket blown or is the head cracked??
My Jeep is a 97 4.0 and I recently put in a new 3 row radiator and the temp has been constant at just a little above middle. Before the new radiator, however, it would always run a little hot and occasionally overheat.
Please let me know what you think it may be. It is my DD and I am still driving it about 7 minutes to and from work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
