Can you buy them new, or just JY them? I need some new seals. Junkyard as long as they are in good shape. or buy new, it's your wallet...

I'm not an expert by any means but I do have some experience in the jeep field. haha. thanks for watching! Since I got the XJ on the road, I'm gonna hold off on the door seals. I need to fix the back glass and get a oil pan on it to stop that leak. I'm still considering using lexan for the back glass.

Well, fired up the XJ after the install. Have a misfire and it won't throw a code... Onlyinajeep has been ever so kind as to let me borrow a set of injectors to see if replacing them will solve the issue. I got pictures I'll post tonight. going to do another compression test as well to make sure the head work was done right. I have no reason to think that it wasn't. just want to check. MJ is still doing great. Heat is working flawlessly in this colder weather. It has a belt squeal after it's been sitting over night in the cold. I know the idler pulley is making noise, but that'll get replaced when the XJ is on the road. new belt wouldn't hurt.

I'm gonna assume the rings are good. It looked like the valve wasn't seating correctly. The head will be back from the shop tomorrow I hope so I can get the engine back together. The valve actually looked fine. All my rockauto parts came in today so I'm ready as soon as the head is done. There is a red rag in that cylinder causing that redish look, lol. I knew someone would ask.

WTF happened to that PIC?? Nevermind. I deleted it. Damn tinypic messing my stuff up.

Got another XJ. It's a 1998 Limited 2wd. Leather seats, roof console and all that jaz... I like it. I bought it from a girl about an hour away. She said her dad told her it had a burned valve. One owner. Brought it home and found 35lbs of compression in cylinder 1. suppose to be around 150 for those of ya'll that don't know. Every other cylinder had between 120-160. Not to shabby for a XJ with 253,000 miles. I'll post a pic later. Plans for now are to fix the valve and do a complete in depth maintenance of the thing then DD it forever. Once that is ready, the MJ restoration will continue. I've decided on a colored bedliner/body armor from Line-X for the paint job. It will be as close to the factory Red as possible. It'll just be matte.

Well, no updates just yet. I'm actually in the works to buy another XJ. I want an XJ to DD so I can focus more on the restoration of the Comanche.
