Long story short got this 2000 xj sport with a blown head gasket and a cracked 3330 head. New gasket and a used 7120 head with used injectors(not remand)
Fired it up and smoke like a old steam train. White smoke. No smell to it. Could smell gas oil or coolant, it was humid out it just rained humidity had to be 100% plus the exhaust is cut off after the cat.
Did some testing to with the old light bulb trick and ohmed out the injectors plus a compression test and this is what I got. This tells me I have a ok motor what’s it say to you?
Red is cylinder number then ohms of injectors then V for voltage check and bottom is compression

Spark plugs are a different story left to right is 6-1 #3 is dry and clean I dropped #2 and broke it.

The variation in the cyl comp is a little troubling but that #3 spark plug is really concerning.
 
Think I got it figured out. Ran it longer today and the smoke cleared up. Can smell dawn dish soap and new gaskets warming up the way they should. Believe I need a new coil pack and definitely need a new radiator. Not new like the PO said it was. Big hole when it burb and took pressure.
