last weekend I took the jeep out to get dirty... but I blew one of my coolant hoses and overheated really badly but didnt notice because I was trying to get out of the mud I was stuck in. when I got out it was bad I had no coolant at all and I know I was beating the hell out of it after the line blew, now im burning oil really badly like about a gallon every 3-5 days depending on how much I drive, Ive got dummy lights and my oil pressure light keeps flickering after its warmed up at a stop and sometimes its solid but Im not as worried about that compared to the oil burning as bad, could I have worped the head? or could it be just the gasket?

thats what I get for not paying attention while off roading...

Gee oh Dee

Sounds like its time for a rebuild.

Could be lots of things. Head gasket, rings, cyl walls, etc.

thelittlejeepthatcould

the motor has been rebuilt like 20,000 miles ago, what would i do if its the cyl walls?

JeepingDan

Blowing smoke? Sounds like you did a good number and wasted the engine.
Might as well swap in another.

I didnt do the rebuild on it but its a stroker motor, heres the build thread on it, I've never rebuilt a motor so I dont really have an idea of how and how long it would take being the first time Im doing it http://naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1024606

JeepingDan

Don't matter if its brand new. Any engine that gets massively overheated gets damaged. Your lucky it still runs.

thelittlejeepthatcould

daamn haha ok, you think a rebuild would fix it or if its burning that bad you you think its gone?

thelittlejeepthatcould

also it only ran for like 2-3 min before I realized it was overheating

JeepingDan

There's no bad leaks or blue smoke? That's a awful lot of consumption.

JeepingDan

No oil in the radiator?

thelittlejeepthatcould

no coolant in the oil haha only leak I have is from the radiator but the overflow fitting is cracked and blue smoke yes lots of it

belvedere

Sounds like you cooked the rings at minimum, not to mention the low oil pressure.

JeepingDan

Low oil pressure after that tells me the bearings are wasted.
Might as well get another motor. I don't trust over heated blocks and heads for rebuild. Could have hidden cracks.

Ah damn it... Anyone have a motor for sale for kinda cheap
