Hello all,
I'm building up my father's '01 XJ with a 4" lift and a bunch of maintenance items and upgrades. He's moving from central PA to New Mexico within the year. His, like my '99, has the heat soak issue. He's a light wheeler with 250k on original motor. It's a DD. I don't think he'll do a stroker when this motor quits, but he will put in rebuilt one if it does.
I'd like to know if I should leave the stock cast iron manifolds bare, ceramic coat them or swap out for a ceramic coated header like JBA or AFE.
Thanks in advance.
