Hi, I have a 2005 with 4.0 SOHC. Started the vehicle and heard top end clatter. Let run 2 minutes then shut off... Has a few issues. Low oil pressure, and coolant in oil. One full day after starting the engine, I let the oil drain for a few hours, and then I dropped the lower pan. At the back of the motor, near the transmission, inside the cradle, there is a drip of coolant that forms around one of the cradle mounting bolts, and then every minute or two it forms into a steady stream of coolant for a second. I'm thinking that with nothing pressurizing the heads, and this being persistent a day later after cool down, I'm thinking it's a cracked block.. Thoughts? New video by Jeremiah H
