I just wanna get some opinions to make sure I'm on the right track.
I purchased a stock 95 XJ sport (I6 HO, NP231 J, AW4 I think, & 155,000 miles) for $800 yesterday. The fellow I bought it from had it at a mechanics shop and told me that the diagnosis was bad piston rings & a leaking tranny pump(?). He told me it was sitting for 1.5 years and when he started it it was fine but once it warmed up, alotta white smoke was pouring out of the exaust...:repair:
I've traveled about 50 miles in the XJ and kinda smells a lil rich, aside from that nothing outta the exaust. Major oil leak on the back side of the i6 (rear main I think) leaking onto the exaust. I checked the Filter and tightened the valve cover. Still leaking like a stuck pig.:repair:
Checked the oil stick and it had white funk on it (head gasket Probably...crack maybe). Drove it for a little more and the white went away and it had tiny bubbles on the stick with a tad foggy oil. :repair:
So, Ive bought the gasket sets and dropped the oil pan ready to change the rear seal.and plan to replace the head gasket. Oh and by the way This jeep runs and drives perfect. Tranny & I6 run and shift insainly well :shocked: and 4H & 4L work awsome with no unusual noises. In 2WD Ive got a loud clicking noise when I brake slightly hard coming from the driver side wheel area.:repair:
Sorry about the Novel, Any comments or suggestions would be greatly apreciated.. I'm a newb member but I have been lurking around these threads for a good while & I have a 91 Briarwood Budget trail rig that I've been wheeling and fixing for a couple years now, But this one will be the wife's DD and Kinda wanna double check myself, well and it runs so well i'd hate to do anything to screw that up.. Any Help would be greatly appreciated..
