2001 Jeep Cherokee See 4.0! Q:
Posted: March 27th, 2019, 8:17 pm
I bought a 01 Jeep and I had a crackhead. I bought a rebuilt head and head gasket kit with bolts. I put it all together and it sounds like it has a miss. I did the normal checks, it has good compression 135 to 140 PSI it is getting fuel and it has spark. I narrowed it down to cylinder 5 as when I pull off the injector wire the motor stays the same but when I remove any of the other injector wires it runs rougher. I pulled off the valve cover and all of the rockers and pushrods are fine except for the intake on cylinder 5 where I can push it down quite easily. My question is: 1) would that cause the miss that I seem to have in the engine? and 2) I did the head within the last 2 weeks and it is ran less than 30 minutes worth of time, they say that you were supposed to replace the head bolts and my second question was will I have to replace the head bolts head gasket and intake gasket or can I reuse them? Thank you in advance for anyone that can answer my questions.
