RWD Volvo wagon? Toss an LS in one weekend
You think you'll ever see me LS-swap something in my lifetime?

Carbed 318 FTW, PS a propane 318 sounds good for the Ranger

Insert generic "swap a Dodge V10 in" comment here Hasta
Hey guys, I'm back driving a pile of trash again...
98 XJ 4.0l 5 Speed
Long Story Short: Picked it up cheap with an engine knock. Did rod and main bearings and noise is still there. Sets a Cylinder 2 Misfire code now. Ran a cylinder leak-down test and found the Intake valve not seating. Tried cleaning the carbon and lapping it back to the head in the vehicle (Cordless drill on the valve stem and lapping compound through the spark plug hole, Roadkill Style). Won't come around, valve looks fine, I'm thinking the valve seal in the head is roasted.
I have two cylinder heads sitting here; an 0630 head and a 7120 head. Someone tell me which one I should bother going through to slap back on?
Your guys' traffic up here sucks. Hit Mass Pike to 95 to 93 right around 5:30 and crawled for 45 damn minutes to Quincy from there.
Back up at the good ol' Marriott for another week of business presentations and training.
