Well here it goes and I'm ready to take a lashing. This past winter I hydrolocked my engine. We pulled the plugs shot water out about 20 feet in the air turned it over pumping as much water as possible out and then put plugs back in, changed the oil, and off to finish the trail we went. Of course I had to change all the TB sensors and yada yada. All was fine. Went wheeling this morning and on the way home the engine was running like a dog. My buddy was behind me in his XJ and called me saying I was blowing a lot of smoke. I thought to myself, oh Sh*t gotta get home. Didn't quite make it and now my XJ is sitting on the side of the interstate with a puddle of oil under it waiting on my other buddy and his truck and trailer. Just trying to find out what some of you all would guess the preliminary diagnosis would be, fixable or not, what to look for, etc. Also take into account I can get a new/used motor from a cherokee wreck yard locally for about 600 with 40-60k miles. What would you do?
