My buddy's '98 TJ head/mani gave up the ghost, and I just caught the class
action thread

Do you think there's even a *chance* ???

I have been looking for a Cherokee myself and have a Q on the head/mani. Is
there a way to tell the difference between the old **** head/mani and the
new & *improved* one, besides the obvious of looking for cracks?

The old one has the following part identification code - "heinz baked beans"
