Ok, this is my first post so bear with me. Here's my situation. 97, 4.0 ohv engine had a bad coolant leak.White steam out tailpipe. Engine did not overheat or run out of coolant.Driver's side head was cracked.Purchase use heads.Had them planed and pressure tested buy a well known machine shop.
They looked beautiful. Installed new head gasket,lower intake gasket.Torqued to specs. Engine started right up.Now I have cylinders #1,2 and three spark plugs are soaked with oil and cylinder #2 has coolant coming out of it. Spark plugs in cylinders 4 ,5 and 6 look good.Compression test:
cylinder#1-170 lbs
#2-170
#3-160
Engine did not burn oil or have fouled plugs prior to this.Any advice would be appreciated.
