I have a 1990 Cherokee Laredo that suddenly began overheating. Well, I had it towed to my father-in-laws place and the next days I replaced the water pump and thermostat, hoping that would be the fix. Turns out, whoever worked on it last didn't even have a thermostat put in. I replaced those parts, started it up and it overheated in about 5 minutes again. I noticed there was moisture around the plugs and now there's water in the oil. I'm thinking blown head gasket, but everywhere I've called is quoting me about $1000 for a head gasket replacement.
I have about 150k on this engine and am wondering if now would be a good time to just do a rebuild while they are in there. I don't know all that much about working on cars, so whatever I do, it will likely be done by a shop, not by me.
Thanks.
