Alright I've been searching for days and cannot find any information that pertains to me. About 3000-4000 miles ago I did a total overhaul to my 4.0. New gaskets, seals, water-pump, thermostat, rebuilt injectors, honed the cylinders, new rings, valve guide seals, cleaned the block and heads very good, and I relapped the valves. So my engine should have run very good I saw 0 problems when cleaning everything. Well she likes to drink coolant very much. I dont have any milky oil and I dont burn oil so I'm kinda stumped. My engine temp is always perfect its never been hot I could run it without any coolant and it wouldnt get too hot. My oil pressure is also high. At this point I have no clue what the problem is. Help!!!!!!!!:bawling:
 
Do a compression check in each cylinder. You will probably find a blown head gasket.
 
maybe you have a leak that you didn't notice before
 
Did you check the heads for cracks when you rebuilt it? these motors like to crack heads.
 
Have you checked the freeze plugs?

I think there are three on each side and TWO in the rear of the engine. 8 total. Make sure your engine is cool (obviously) and slide your hand between the engine and firewall to see if there is any wetness.
