Overheated

[avalondanes]

Hey all,
I have a '94 xj that I just got, has 230K on a 4.0 HO w/auto trans. Went to Lowes to get some stuff and on the way back the plastic drain for the radiator let loose, I did not know until the idiot light came on and steam from under the hood. Tow back to the house, inspected and found the problem. Replaced with a plug and refilled with water. Steam out the exhaust and rough idle. Not good. I removed the head only to find a crack in #3 from exhaust valve to water jacket. Now I need a cyl head and a full gauge cluster so this will not happen again. anyone have any leads to a gauge cluster and/or a cyl head?
Thanks
Richard

Not sure what junk yards there are up in Salisbury, but you could try 109 u-pull it where HWY 52 and I40 meet in Winston Salem, or Pull a Part down here in Charlotte. PAP will have cheaper prices but 109 isn't as picked over as PAP tends to be.

There's also a PAP in Winston off Patterson AVE. Nice thing about PAP though is you can check their inventory online to see what they have.
