I've got an 88 xj and the heater control valve went. so i by-passed it and the jeep would not stop over heating. well the other day i left work to go home and try and fix it and on the way it started making a nasty scrappin metal noise and then went up in smoke. the pressure bottle blew and sprayed everything and now the jepp wont start i dried all the connections cleaned out the distributer and fixed the pressure bottle but it still wont start. it does turn over but when i tried to start it it blew the dip stick out. so im thinking that i blew the motor. any ideas on what could still be wrong would be great. or i was thinking about possible swapping in a different motor, 4.2 , 318, 305? how would i go about putting something that is carburated?? do i have to switch the harness? im only 18 so i need to get it back on the road fast!! any ideas woul be great
