Hello everyone,
My name is Henrique and I'm from Brazil. I use my cherokee for light wheeling only (that doesn't mean that the right pedal won't be hitting the floor a lot).
Last trail we made, my jeep arrived home with the temp just a hair higher than 212 and I know that is not a problem on a pressurized system.
The problem was that after I turned it off, water started to spill out of the expansion reservoir, meaning that it boiled. After it stopped, I slowly opened the radiator cap and filled with coolant and I haven't wheeled again yet.
I also think that my exhaust drips too much water, but I don't have bubbles in my coolant nor water in my oil.
So I've been wondering... If my jeep has been serviced before (by a moron) and that bolt that we all know that has to be teflon-sealed is NOT sealed, couldn't it cause my symptons?
If so, is it safe for me just to remove that bolt alone so I can check if it has been propperly sealed? I'm afraid that removing that one bolt without touching on the others could mess with the head itself.
Thanks and sorry for the large text.
