well pulled the valve cover off and checked the valve guides and they are bad to say the least.   maybe the pookapotamus can put a link up of it. it was pretty impressive. 
also, looks like the 1 and 6 cylinders are pitted pretty bad..........

so driving home yesterday (with soft top on) i opened the window, and again, almost choked myself out of the jeep.  i'm having a hard time believing its an exhaust leak, even though it kinda smells like exhaust....

i've also put another 2L of oil in it since saturday.  i've driven to work (chinook) twice, and okotoks once. not even 100KM.

drivin it till it explodes.
