OK, so I overheated my '96 XJ so bad it cooked the short block. #2 cylinder has only 20 lbs of compression and the walls are scratched to hell. Guess the rings are broken. #3 only has 40lbs, and I'm pretty sure the block is warped; it keeps blowing the head gasket between #s 3 and 4.
I can get a new '96 short block (pn 4798788) for $2,158.20. I can get a new '97 short block (pn 4883025) though, for $1,716.15. $440 would be a big savings, if it will work.
Will the '97 short block bolt in? Is everything the same?
Thanks,
