I bought it with a salvaged title. Test drove it, no vibrations and steered like a brand new stock jeep, I couldn't find any major damage. It was pretty cheap with the salvage title so I figured what the hell.
Made the deal and drove it 120 miles home.
Then I noticed the motor sounded ruff like maybe the valves needed adjusting. Checked the oil and it had burned about 1 qt on the way home. So I kept adding oil for a while. Also tried some oil additive. Didn't help any.
Then it started fouling spark plugs. Found a lot of oil when I pulled them.
Started seeing oil when I changed the air filter. Oil pan had red rtv so I figure somebody had taken the motor apart at some point.
I'm thinking the rings didn't seat correctly or something and it's pushing oil past the heads.
Found a good deal on take off motors with very few miles on them.
