New from North Dakota: P0303 code and cylinder 3 misfire

Whoops. It was only the shorter of the lines anyways. If I ever feel the need to replace it I will. Wish I would have read this a little sooner. Lol.
Okay. Head is off. Cylinder 3 is flawless. Piston head looks fine too. Noticed my cylinder 3 exhaust valve looks a little pushed in. My question is what now? Take the head and get it rebuilt or what?
If I bought one like the one you mentioned earlier would I have to get it machined? Or could it bolt on as is?
Should get my head back in a week or two. Does anybody know anything about performance heads? Like where to get one? From what I understand the block is almost indestructible so I figure if I find out my head is junk I'll just upgrade it so it never breaks.
I just ordered the gaskets for it and got head bolts and new spark plugs. Mine were fouled out/crappy.
You can get one of the Edelbrock aluminum performance heads for about $1600. They supposedly make a huge difference in performance, around 30 extra horsepower. This is the one I am referring to:

If you want a damn nice cylinder head and a bunch of extra power, that's the way to go! Pricey, but it's aluminum versus the stock cylinder head which is iron.

Lol, for $11600 it better ship in a really nice shipping package that looks like a TJ :jump:
I thought that was expensive too until I saw @Chris posted it. He makes so much money off this site that he only buys the very best stuff.
Haha... clearly I missed that typo there. I obviously meant to say $1600. I wish someone on here would buy one of those cylinder heads by the way. Even when I had my XJ 10 years ago, those things still intrigued me. Some people claim over 30 extra horsepower from them. Not sure if that's true, or just people blowing smoke.
We knew what you meant, just couldn't pass up the opportunity.
Just got the call. My head is fixed. Only problem is I won't be home until Friday night. Was going to go ice fishing this weekend because I wasn't expecting that call. Really hoping I can get it all put together this weekend. Not a mechanic or anything but I'm almost sure 2 full days should be enough time to get it back together.
I had to leave on tuesday and got home on friday. Found out the torque wrench i have only goes to like 75 ft/lbs and you need 110 ft/lbs.
I got this stuff because the google machine told me it is the equivalent of loctite 592 sealant.
Jeep is all together and running. Sounds a thousand times better. No codes or anything but I'm now leaking coolant. It seems like its only when i try to top it off. I believe i had this problem before but never really addressed it because my engine never overheated. I can't find exactly where its leaking from but its somewhere in the front of the motor. If anyone has had this same problem please let me know. Thanks for all the help.
