To make a long story short, PO screwed Mascott. 0630 head, cracked on PO. Supposedly replaced with another 0630 head which cracked again. Scott and I put a head off of a 95 on there, and with the exception of having the wrong valve cover on, she was purring like a kitten. Good oil pressure, temp, ect.
End result, Mava was out last week, and texted me that her jeep stopped running. We thought it may have been electrical, which part of it was....
We fixed the bad ground, and motor won't turn.....

I got your text yesterday, not ignoring you...will get back with you later today

I hate snowballs,,,,,,lol. The PO was forewarned about the problems and based on a few new parts that were removed when the head was replaced she opted to sell. I'm not angry that she basically got over on me, because I'll ride again and I'm a firm believer in the "laws of reciprocation".This is an inconvenience simply because my XJ is my DD and only vehicle, but my neighbors have been helpful with transportation.

I am just very thankful to God that I have been hooked up with "Honest" men that are knowledgeable of jeeps.I can't say Thank you enough to PTMIke and Scott for all they have done.

Once I get everything worked out, I will.

At least the timing was right, I have a motor I'll give her, Picking up a ZJ from Jon this weekend so I can give her the one out of Tim's (Paying for it of course) and just use the one out of the ZJ for what I have planned

What would really help is if I can get someone who is around that area with a tow vehicle get it up to Joppa for us, that would really be appreciated I really need a little time to myself so I can get my rig put back together, I'm going on vacation in 3 weeks and have an a**load of work to do to mine....

We discussed it for a bit yesterday, it just doesn't make sense....
Either or, getting it up closer to me gives me more time to do a more thorough diagnostics....
It WILL be driven back to Annapolis

Now, for my issue
I have been having a hell of a time getting my front axle centered under my ZJ. Is there anyone who knows someone at a good bodyshop who can check the front end of my jeep? I pretty much know now that it was in a driver side collision, and am wondering if somehow the frame rails got tweaked
