Parked the xj in the driveway, came out later and found large puddle of coolant under front of motor on the ground.
i am suspecting that the pump is gone and I have been waiting to replace the steering pump and gear box.
If I am in that far already, what do you have for tips on what to look for as to other parts or peices to replace or adjust?
i have been suspecting a lifter for a while, and have ruled out a burned valve for the way the engine starts up on cold mornings (rattle-ping) and has a rythmic knock to the exhuast sound. Did the MMO thing and didnt change it.
So, I need ideas on the lifter issue and ideas as to other items to look for while I am in there?
I have new BD motor mounts, new APN header, new plugs, new belts and radiator and hoses. Really thinking of major to moderate parts and stuff.
Can I remove the lifters with out removing the head?
Can i replace the lifters, rods, rollers with out removing the head or do I want to?
Give me your ideas and experiences.
Thanks guys!
