- 86 CJ7 258 AMC20(for now) 5spd mostly factory.....but hey, I've only had it for 3 months!
Pulled the head off my AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l today and this is what I found
.....
Thoughts? I'm considering doing the 4.0 conversion instead of rebuilding this one. Any recommendations on where to get one already built with the passages blocked off?
Note: evidently I am technically challenged as I can't get the photos to load here. Here is a link to them on my FB page: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.4317349306174.162951.1660256236&type=3I

also have pics of the block and the spark plugs posted. I lost oil pressure (pump is 3 mos old) and was hearing a knock from the lower end and the valve train was rattling something fierce. Thanks for any input!
