0331 Heads dont break!!!!
Long story short. Cooling system was pressurizing and pushing coolant into the overflow bottle. Replaced water pump, thermostat and radiator. Didnt fix it. Tried running w/o thermostat and still didnt fix it. Machine shop told me the heads were probably fine cuz stuff like that doesnt happen to heads. I even had a local Jeep guy tell me those heads are crap and was probably a head or gasket problem. Removed head and took it to the machine shop. Found very small crack and the head is warped (which he finally admitted may be causing the problem). Guy at the machine shop says everyone who has issues with the 0331 casting heads is full of crap. He must be in cahoots with the manufacturer. lol This is why i became my own mechanic. If i had taken the whole vehicle to a mechanic he would have charged me hundreds of dollars to replace a bunch of parts and still probably wouldnt admit that the cylinder head was bad. Then when i insisted he would have charged me hundreds more to pull the cylinder head and actually fix the damn problem. I hate mechanics. They are smug and condescending and think they know everything about cars. Thank god for automotive forums.com
