So my 2000 XJ just cracked its head after 170k miles. I ordered a replacement/rebuild TUPY head and FelPro head gasket set. I have 4 hole injectors, a header, and cat-back. This Jeep is pretty much just a driver and rarely goes offroad. I will check compression today but expect it to be fine. It runs like new.
Anyway, are there any other easy upgrades I should consider while the head is off? 1.7 roller rockers? Any easy porting/gasket matching? I drive this in the cold (to 0 degrees F) and hot (110F with A/C going) so I don't want to mess up drivability. Don;t want to spend $1000 to get 30hp but $250 for 10hp seems legit...
Thoughts?
