Muncher Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Could I get this valve cover to fit on my 87? It says it doesn't but I looked around and saw different year covers can fit on other years with some mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 flip it around and should be good. the issue was in the different ccv set up i believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncher Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share Posted March 30, 2021 So the 4.0l thing just has to be in the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 i think so. but have not ran this perticlur one myself. so thinking of the newer aluminum stocks ones. which i believe these are reproduced spec wise from and just paint them. other wise just run your plumbing opposite i reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75sv1 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I've used a '95 XJ VC on my '88 MJ. I also upgraded to the larger CCV Tube and fitting from the latter XJs. I had to cut and splice in tubbing as the RENIX position of the CCV is a bit farther forward. On my '98 XJ, I use a 93-98 ZJ VC. It is aluminum and has the CCV grommets from the 96-01 or even latter 4.0L VC. I use the Felpro VC gasket that is a silicon rubber with a steel reinforcement for the earlier 4.0L. Its about $35-50.
