RustyRodder Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Looking for an aluminum (93-95) HO valve cover, like the one pictured on the right here:
RustyRodder Posted March 29, 2019 Author Posted March 29, 2019 Not the stamped steel, right? Let me know how much and where to send!
RustyRodder Posted March 29, 2019 Author Posted March 29, 2019 No, factory 91-95, so I can get rid of the rubber elbow/tiny (not really a)PCV line and go to the newer ones. Just trying to not use the 97+ Stamped steel one so I don't need another pricey felpro gasket. The style on the right:
schardein Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 I have 3 of these valve covers laying around also, if needed. The blue rubber coated Fel-Pro gaskets can be had in the junkyard for cheap. I've bought used valve covers and they didn't charge for the gasket... I've also had a yard let me have the gasket for free. I have had three running/driving 4.0s with these used valve cover gaskets and no leaks.

schardein Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 I should clarify, that I swapped to the later steel valve covers, and used the blue gaskets that came with those. I don't know if they were used from the factory or I just got lucky, but I see them from time to time. (this is why I have 3 cast aluminum covers laying around) I haven't used a blue gasket on the original cast aluminum valve cover or even know if one is made. I can get pics later.

The expensive Fel-Pro gaskets for the earlier models are blue too. Just took one off of my '91. I want to say that the OEM gasket for the stamped steel valve covers was black or gray or something like that.
RustyRodder Posted April 2, 2019 Author Posted April 2, 2019 Can confirm, I have a nice blue one on mine now!
