Looking for a 4.0....
Well, I have oil getting to one of my spark plugs, I was hoping it was just the valve seals.. It was not, so Im led to believe it is a busted ring? The one that is getting oil previously had a plug that the porcelyn cracked on, maybe that caused the problem, so basically Im gunna start looking for a used 4.0 motor...

What do you guys think, should I just rebuild my engine knowing how its been maintained and all, or Go for a used one with less miles, and put that in?
It will end up costing right around the same amount..

You might have a cracked valve bro. I would tear into the motor first. The lower ends of these trucks have been known for their brutal strength. I would assume it has something to do with your heads.

Yea as long as your blocks or heads arent cracked, its kinda pointless to buy a new motor. You cant drive it anyways.
Just have a machine shop hone the cyl. walls and buy new pistons, have your crank turned, heads magnafluxed and your valves angled, slap it back together and you're good to go!
