Need a Spot

I was wondering if anyone could help me please. My problem is im looking at buying an 89 trooper 2.6 auto and need to know what to look for and anything that i should avoid. I like the first gen troopers but cant at the moment afford nor do i have the place to buy a project vechile so any help would be appreciated.

The main thing to look for with the 2.6 are a blown head gasket and/or cracked heads. They are good engines if properly maintained.

Better look again. No lifters on this one.

Probably hearing the fuel injectors. Those things are noisy on the 2.6 <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/oink.gif" alt="" />
