Just got the oil analysis back for my son's 95 XJ. I almost wish I hadn't ordered it. At 125K miles, it showed glycol and fuel in the oil. Also lead. (Insert heavy sigh of resignation here.)
So this weekend I will do a compression check, then drop the pan and check the bearings. If the antifreeze hasn't trashed the bearings yet, and if the compression is decent, guess I'll put a new headgasket in and check the head. If the bearings look bad or the rings are cooked, guess it will be time to go to the current thread that talks about rebuilt engines.
And here I was hopin' this would be one of those 250K mile engines!
