My 98 Explorer w/ 4.0 OHV has starting to burn quite a bit of oil, enough that you can smell it in the exhaust. Also, the driver's rear cylinder (#6?) keeps fouling the spark plug every six months or so, so that's likely the culprit.
What am I looking at here? Motor rebuild? New head? Any other options? The motor has 231,000 miles on it, runs great otherwise. Thanks all.
