Sir_Brando Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Will a Wrangler YJ 2.5 VC swap directly over to my 89 2.5 MJ? I'm looking at an aluminum one and would like to know because my plastic one is cracked on nearly every bolt hole. i have a new vc gasket for my MJ. If the YJ cover swaps over would i need to get a different gasket? or would the one i have work? What about bolts? PCV vs CCV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjrev10 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 If I remember correctly i ordered one off ebay and it had the gasket built right in. I reused the hardware.. It was a plastic one but it wasnt 21 years old like the cover on the truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Chief Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Yes, it will directly bolt on. I did mine not long ago, I got some heater hoses from autozone for the lower air cabin hose to the back of the valve cover and then some vacuum hoses for the front of it. I had to go to the dealer to get my parts for it. I also went and got some new bolts and washers for the cover too. If I get a chance I'll snatch a pic for you.. It might be later tonight..

87Chief Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Sorry it took awhile, but here is what I did.. I bought a 91 Cherokee, or wrangler (prob wrangler, doesn't matter all the same) valve cover off ebay for $25, guy didn't have the grommet so I went to autozone, got a filler cap, some hoses, and rtv.. Got everything situation, then noticed there was a hole that something screwed in, went to the dealer and asked them. They got me the part for about $10.. And here it is..

Sir_Brando Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 Thanks! I missed my opportunity to get the one i was looking at, but this helps with finding one. So the part was just a threaded vacuum fitting? Probably just as easily rtv'd as the breather hose. Appreciate the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Chief Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Yeah it was a vacuum fitting. I was going to rtv it but my friends works for jeep that goes in my class so I got him to get me one. And I was afraid that the rtvwoukd plug the hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
