Got the head off. #4 exhaust valve wiggles (middle cylinder). Guide is gone. 40,000 miles on new motor that was installed in 2010. Jeep was losing water and oil. Questions..
1.) Do the pistons look normal? lot of build up..why? I thought middle one should be shiny from water going in cylinder. Must have gone out exhaust and in oil.
2.) Why does an engine lose 3 qts. of oil when guide goes out? Does that much get around missing guide? Owner claimed they parked it soon after the white exhaust and Ticking started.
3.) Intake had water/oil mix in it...how the heck did it get into intake. ( did an edit..I said a quart earlier. It was alot but maybe not that much..)
Appreciate the comments. I hope a new head will solve all my problems.
