Yes, it was my annual "April Fools" post. If anyone would have searched, you'd have found that I "sold" my truck on April 1 every year since '08.

But this year the joke may be on me, I think I blew the head gasket on my Jeep yesterday...

 

Liar liar pants on fire

 

every year man. Never gets old! Sorry about the jeep tho.

 

This is a very good idea I just might have to do that sometime

 

Ha knew it! What makes you think the Head gasket is shot?

 

Ouch. Glad to hear you still have the truck, but sorry to learn of your Jeep woes.

 

HAHA!! To the bar Hammer! Your buying the first round!

 

Actually, upon inspection I discovered that I lost a valve seat, dropped the valve. Now to determine if it took out the piston or not.

From what I have learned the pre-'08 4.7 is NOTORIOUS for losing the valve seat just on cylinder number 2 - which is where my problem lies.

It seems I'm snake-bit since last november. Lost my Job the day after Thanksgiving, five days later I have a caliper lock up and destroy the pads and rotor. Two days after I fixed that my radiator decided to split at the seam and now it appears I'm heading for major engine repair.

Good thing I didn't really sell my truck, huh???

 

It pay for the repairs on the jeep though lol!

 

I think if I find it did major damage and needs a new head, I'm gonna store the Jeep until I get back to work - I need surgery which is scheduled in May. After I can build up some funds, I may just replace both heads with ported and maybe even bored out a bit.

It all depends on how bad the damage is - if it's just a valve, seat and piston I'll probably just fix it now...
