I just bought an 89 cherokee and it drove fine for a week or two, but one day I was driving it for a 2.5 hour trip d then I got caught in traffic just as I was almost home I got caught in taffic and it overheated.
The jeep has no electric fan installed . I failed to notice it. I payed $1000 for it.
It blew the head gasket and had to be towed home. I got it looked at, it got a complete head job, and everything re-installed for $900. I was moving and had no place to work on it(now I do).
I just got it back and on the trip home it never really got to operating temp it just stayed at about a 1/4 way or about 150-160 degrees. And the oil pressure was high at 60-70 psi.
Just wondering if its a normal thing after a head job for an engine to stay that cool, or if my mechanic improperly did anything. Im new to renix motors and need some help please. It would be greatly appreciated.
