First time posting, long time trawler of the threads.
I'll try to keep this short, it's been a project.
Backstory:
91 Cherokee automatic with a rebuilt donor 4.0L from between 92-94.
I was having an over heating problem when ever it ran. Changed the temp sensor, water pump, and radiator in the last 2 months. Finally decided to say screw it and use YouTube to guide me through a head gasket change.
Used a felpro gasket kit. Got the gasket on keeping everything bagged and tagged. I did not do a valve job... Long story short it's put back together in one piece with all the bolts and hoses in place.
The problem:
Engine won't idle but does start and runs when kept above 1500 rpm. Not firing on cylinders 4 5 & 6 (back 3) Spark plugs on those 3 are getting wet and properly gapped but have no carbon on them. Contacts on distributor were cleaned. Not sure what to do next.
