so i haven't had luck with my jeep lol
i bought it with a blown motor. that also was not the original. its an 88 and had a 91-95 engine in it. but cylinder 5 was destroyed. and 3-4 had a blown head gasket. swapped engines with my 90 4.0 and then the flexplate cracked and i assumed it was a knock.
grabbed a $500 junkyard motor, it was spotless inside. no sludge at all. however that knocking came back and again this time i assumed it was the flexplate it was used. nope... I'm guessing a piston skirt broke and the the piston shattered.
ok so now that i have the worst luck. im thinking of putting the 300k engine back in. but its got some blowby could i just get away with honing and new rings or should i just grab a rebuild one? and will i net any improvement using the 7120 or 0630 head with all the renix stuff?
Thanks
