MJ is dead Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Ok, now that the MJ is running again, its time to address another issue. My oil leak(s) I'm gonna start small and do the valve cover gasket, even though I'm thoroughly convinced its the RMS. But I know the jeep rule: make it better while you have it off. So should I go ahead and get the valve cover off a 97+ or should I just modify my existing valve cover? 64cheyenne told me what I need to do, but I honestly don't remember what all needs to be done. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STERLING STINGER Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 just go get one...make sure you grab extra hose and the little adapter, fitting that goes to the engine....their a diffrent size than our orignals, and you need to extend the hose about 6 inches :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comanche09 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 97+ Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, or Wrangler 4.0L Valve Cover, whichever is cheapest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ is dead Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 I know which valve cover I need, I meant adapters/hoses/other crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STERLING STINGER Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 comanche09 got it dude.... and just get the 2 hoses with it, and the adapter(thats connected to the hose, i think its the front hose), and use your existing hoses to extend the one by minor fabrication...youll see what i mean. i havent done it yet or id give you a pic:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbrick Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Take a picture of a 97+ 4.0 cover, and point to the parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comanche09 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 When I got my MJ, it had serious blowby issues (air filter soaked in oil). So I switched to a '94 H.O. aluminum cover. Blowby and valve cover leaks solved, but the baffle design was very similar to the Renix cover. I still felt I had high crankcase pressure (leaks slowed with the new cover). So I switch to an '97 valve cover. Much more open baffle design and there is a rocker "splash shield" that I feel helps keep oil out of the lines. My little leaks stopped and my MJ now leaks nothing! I am happy for now. :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
