saveevryjp1998 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I'm pretty sure I have 1 extra or 5 laying around. It's yours for shipping cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyRodder Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share Posted March 29, 2019 Not the stamped steel, right? Let me know how much and where to send! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saveevryjp1998 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Oops. Your looking for the aftermarket type that comes powdercoated black, red, or yellow. I do actually but not up for sale. If you shop a little online, they are about 100 bucks new shipped to your door. I bought a yellow 1 for an xj daily I had for 2 years. I never heard any louder engine noise that same people made claims to about them. I also didn't use the gasket that came with it. I ran the expensive blue reusable type. They go on all my jeeps. They work great especially on the renix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyRodder Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saveevryjp1998 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Hey I do have that and I'll be in the garage today. I'll try to dig 1 up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schardein Posted April 1, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never have spotted 1 yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schardein Posted April 1, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
