I tried researching it but couldnt find much on where to go from here.
i have a 97 xj 5speed 231tcase with 170k. it always ran like a top. in the last 5k miles i started to notice a studder. recently i started getting a p0306 code. so i changed plugs, wires, cap and rotor and sea foamed it. the light came on about 1000 miles later. i just ran a compression test. the numbers were
cyl 1: 160
cyl 2: 160
cyl 3: 165
cyl 4: 160
cyl 5: 165
cyl 6: 105
soooo. bad compression in cyl 6. and its definately lacking power and misfiring here and there. so where should i go from here? new head gasket and get the head checked out? or should i be more worried about the lower end? what ever i have to do to get it running like a top again.
