knockedout88mj Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 So i blew a head gasket and valve cover gasket and then drove her another 8 miles, she still runs but its stuck in LIMP mode and i was wondering how hard is that head gasket? 88' Comanche L.B. 4.0 4x4 Jeep On Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I didn't know the Renix control system had a "limp mode" as such. It's likely barely be able to limp because of the blown head gasket/no compression on one or more cylinders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 It's relatively straight forward as long as you have the proper tools. It's a looong procedure though. A good weekend for me. Spray down the bolts with PB Blaster for days ahead of time. Be prepared that the head weighs a lot. Or at least it seems to when it's in the middle of the engine bay. :shake: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
