Normal day. I drive to work like I always do. Well while driving my XJ looses some power. So I keep driving. I here a odd faint tap tap tap sound but since me XJ squeaks so much I did not think it was mechanical. so i drove with that sound for about a minute Well before I know it, it turns in to a knock knock knock, so I slow down and then steam rushes out from under the hood. I pull over and shut it off. I opened the hood to let the steam out and the 15 degree wind cool it off. The valve cover was smoking some. The temp gauge was a little below normal but not over 210 so I guess the gauge lied. I come back after getting a ride form my friend to start it up nine hours later. Its starts but idles very very ruff. I have not tried driving it yet.
It is a 2001 so I am worried about the head. What are the symptoms of a cracked head?
What other damages has pry happened?
Average cost to fix it? I got it for 3000 so I realy dont want to pay 2000 in repair.
I need it for work by Dec 10
