COM86 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 1986 jeep Comanche, 2.5L . I thought that I have heard that a metal valve cover from a dodge Dakota will work. Years please. So I can look junkyard and possibly new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 96-02 for the AN Dakota. TJs should have it too. There are no new ones left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Like how we have XJ and MJ and such. That’s the code for the Dakota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Chief Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Try the Wrangler YJ's, I know they probably aren't at the JY, but eBay might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattbuch96 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I just did the swap. I used one off a 2000 TJ. Good upgrade. Here’s some before and after pics of mine feel free to ask any questions. Make sure you grab the valve cover bolts off the donor because they are a longer than the plastic one.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russel730 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Part # for the Dakota felpro gasket is VS50502R. I swapped in a metal cover on my 87 2.5 from a 94 YJ and this gasket fit perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdgilbreath Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Well got everything done and put back together and she’s running. Still have to clean oil off from old vc. Now the question is where to plumb vc lines too ?? Old vc had 2 lines 1 pcv and 1 ccv that went too metal tubing around and under the throttle body. New aluminum valve cover has brass port on side of front and 1 pcv elbow on back of valve cover. 1. I could plumb pvc and ccv together with a tee and run to pvc elbow and plug the front brass fitting ? 2. Where previous pcv was connect to brass port on front of vc and plumb back 1 previous ccv to the new pcv elbow ?Any comments or suggestions welcomed will be doing that tomorrow.
