Alexia Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I should be able to steal the timing cover off a 1987 4.0L to use on a 1997 4.0L, correct? The 1987 is still buried in the engine bay so I am not entirely sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeepman Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Yes you Can but you will have to cut off the timing tab on the 87 because it will get in the way of the belt... 72-90 It is hard to see in the picture and is a minor trimming of that cylinder looking tab by the timing marks...

Oddly, mine from the 1997 has that tab as well. It will definitely work then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
