No compression in 1 cylinder

Been looking at buying a used Cherokee. Found a 94 w/ 150k but no compression in one of the cylinders (4.0). Otherwise it is in pretty good shape (soccer mom SUV)---and still runs fairly well on 5. I could afford to drop another motor or rebuild this one but....is it really worth it to?

I have a love/hate relationship with Jeeps and maybe just have cold feet.

unless it is real cheap I would go shopping somewhere else :2cents:

drop half oz of oil in the cylinder and see if the compresion comes up, if it doesn't it is most likely only a burnt valve, had this happen to a ford ranger of mine, 2 cylinders at 25 psi, had heads done and it was like new.
