97 xj limited x roads
Hi everyone i am new to the forum around 3 mnths and find this place a sea of information. You crew rock !!. Any way i aquired a 97 xj (bone white ) for $2000 body in great nick been carting horses around i believe? So i have done the rear axle bearings and uni joints as there was a little noise out of the rear that i couldn't pinpoint.Now the 242 has done a few miles -around 225,000 But it has a emer gas injection system on it that is 7 yrs old and works great. the rear main seal needs doing,i can do that, it also has a split in the header.(carnt do that) ,and has a little chug about it that i am not sure whether it is the header or a valve thing. Has anyone out there got any advice as to do the header,or do i reco the head ,or do i look around for a possible head upgrade. Has anyone been at this x road. im interested in getting a cost effective solution (say $2000.00) for a good reliable engine. that i could travel with eventually. or am i up for a lot more pain than this. i t seems to run a little hot too in hot weather with air con on, have to turn it off. any help please, thank you.
