Hi all.
I have a 1987 XJ with 260K miles. Runs good no troubles (a little rough not bad) however at start up and at high RPMs (I try not doing except for having to get on it to get on the highway) The engine tends to rattle. Guessing it is the pushrods and valves? I am worried that at some point in time a push rod is going to shoot out the Block.
Question........I cant afford the engine rebuild and I am not set up for an engine swap. If I was to replace the Head (reman. or new) and put in new pushrods.....would this help me any.....buy me some time?
