There are 2 on post shops he can use through the MWR program. Take a quick class, get your card and know the hours and rules. If he is at all capable or has some buddies he should be able to knock it out. There is a decent salvage yard just up the road in spring lake (Sandhills pick and pull??) I’d say a reasonable used would be the fastest. Line everything up and should be a weekend project. Being an ‘01. I think those were the crappy years for cylinder heads cracking. Could be why he has no compression in #5. When he cranks it are there bubbles in the radiator or overflow?
Fair enough just wanted to give the option. Honestly there is no one in fayettenam I would recommend for such a job that wouldn’t waste his time and his money.
Yeah, I have a shop in Bear Creek, north of Sanford really close to @Stuntman Autoworks. Unfortunately, life has me pretty busy nowadays and I don't have the free time to assist with an engine R&R. I even have my own XJ sitting next to the shop that needs an engine swapped in it and I haven't had time to mess with it for months.
Yes, we are but I refuse to call it that
No, we are not. Go away Joe and eat some ice cream!
