Jeepjeff859 Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 I have replaced the gasket on my comanche and now no matter what i try to seal it up it still leaks. I have only been able to find the plastic valve covers but i would like to get a metal one. Any ideas??
88whitemanche Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Have you been to the jy? Look for a late model 4cyl cherokee/wrangler/96-98 dodge Dakota they have the metal valve cover and as for a gasket get the molded rubber from a 98 dodge Dakota 4cyl...did the upgrade about a a year ago and no leaks since.
88whitemanche Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 If you do find one in a yard remember to keep the bolts to the new ones because the older ones won't fit with the new valve cover.... Edit: http://comancheclub.com/topic/43429-just-us-25-guys-inspired-by-bobby54/?do=findComment&comment=441628
Jeepjeff859 Posted July 11, 2014 Author Posted July 11, 2014 On my plastic one it had two holes for the I guess vacuum lines, I grabbed a wrangler metal cover and it has one big hole on the top and two little ones, which ones do I hook up.
88whitemanche Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Top one goes to the air box but you would have to get a new vacuum line for it...and the one to the bottom right side goes to the throttle body....
Jeepjeff859 Posted July 11, 2014 Author Posted July 11, 2014 ok i was able to get it but now the engine is idling high ans has a short of soft knocking to it
88whitemanche Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Ok double check the vacuum hose from the bottom side to the throttle body... For me that hose always causes high idle when loose, cracked, or to much suction that causes the hose to close
