Whats the best source for a replacement cylinder head? IDparts has a new VM head for $1760. MoparOne.com has a reman head for $1300. Ebay seller dp.automotive.ltd in the UK has a used one for about $600 plus $100 shipping. http://www.ebay.com/itm/JEEP-CHEROKEE-2 ... 33a1324c89 what do you guys recommend? |

I always prefer getting new items, even though many times remaned worked fine. I'd get new as long as you plan on keeping the jeep at least 5 more years. Another alternative is to get the cheapest, keep the jeep for a bit more and then sell it. |

Got a slightly used one at VW specialists for about $500, what is the difference if i put a slightly used head on a used engine? Lets see $800 to $1300 still in my pockets makes it all worth while. |

Are all VM 2.8 cylinder heads the same? Do different casting numbers mean anything? Mine is 90352046F. But I have seen some with 90352040F. |

Have you confirmed that your was indeed cracked? The sealant you mentioned has me wondering if the head gasket didn't seal. Might be worth taking it to a different machine shop to have it tested. |

Might be worth taking it to a different machine shop to have it tested. I pressure tested the cooling system with the camshafts removed and all valves closed. Water came dripping out two of the exhaust ports. To me, thats a clear indication of cracks around the exhaust valve area. Unless you know of another possibility? |
