I have a 2001 xj 68,000 miles, lost coolant alot, ran good, great oil pressure, cooled engine well, but had slow steady loss of coolant, found out head is cracked after a shop did a pressure test.
I'm having a shop replace the head,
i want to keep the xj.
I don't know much of what it involves? I know it will fix the coolant leak, and
the original problem.
But , what should i exspect after the work is done?
Will it run better too? , or worse? or same?
will i get more life out of the engine? etc. how will i know if they do a good job? any hints?
Can anyone comment about replacing the head or anyone else had to do
it on a 2001?
BTW. my jeep has never overheated, and i have read all the threads with the info on the #0331 cast head cracking between #3 and #4 cylindar.
thats where mine cracked.
