I am starting this writeup on the eve before the start of pulling the head on my '00 Sport. I have read some of the threads here and on other sites and I have come to the determination that either the head is cracked or the head gasket is blown on my 4.0. While I was somewhat hesitant on doing this, the $800+ it would cost me to have a shop do it, warrants me to try it and see just how bad/sucky it really is or isn't. I am starting with the following readings from compression:
1=110 2=115 3=90 4=100 5=115 6=115
This will end up being a long thread, but I can assure you when you see the pictures, most of what ends up happening will make perfect sense, and I should be able to break it down so that anyone here could in effect do it themselves if they take the time and do the research to do it right, the first time. I will post up the candidate here in a second, after I figure out my photobucket settings.
