2001 4.0 Cherokee. 0331 Head. Close to 300K miles.
Was over pressurizing the coolant system, pushing exhaust into the coolant, no mixing of coolant and oil.
Compression check showed number 4 was low at 90 #, all others at 120 #.
Head is at a machine shop, and they are checking for cracks.
Someone had been in this engine before, the head gasket that I pulled out was a Fel-Pro 9076 PT-1, looks to have been installed dry.
I am installing Fel-Pro 530 SD Severe Duty gasket, should I spray it with Copper Coat or is this best installed dry?
