hey all,
my XJ takes a long time to start, and has horrible blow by and also gets a little gas in the oil pan, i have always known that its probly got bad rings and lots of piston slap and i never let it bother me since it runs like a champ and gives me 17mpg on 35s with 4.88s.
yesterday i was changing the waterpump which failed me horribly and when i was putting the serpentine belt back on i found out that i can turn the crankshaft by hand just by pulling on the belt. i can turn the power steering pulley by hand and turn the crankshaft with little diffuculty, i dont even need a wrench.
needless to say, a leakdown test would show that i dont hold any compression at all over a few hours time.
i am saving up for a stroker
