[QUOTE="clemsonjeep, post: 564165, member: 6317"] Ok so the reason it was here time before last was to remove the timing cover and fix the oil leaks. After digging in and draining the oil we noticed a lot of water in the oil. We checked compression and found that 1-3 had approx 120 and 4 had 90. Keep in mind this was cold and without oil...just cranking it over dry. So...we assumed the head gasket had let go the last trip to Grey Rock when it overheated. So...since this was later on a Saturday afternoon we couldnt do anything but put a new gasket on it and hope for the best. Long story shorter...got it back together and ended up with two oil leaks around the timing cover...the two gaskets that it uses fought us every step so I wasn't all that surprised. Aside from the timing cover he'd also come down to finish up the rear 4 link that we had redone the previous trip down. We'd installed some temporary shock mounts, needed to brace the lower link mount crossmember, and a few other things. Basically what was suppose to be a quick visit turned into another pain in the rear. We didn't get any of the work done on the rear suspension... [/QUOTE]
