Well, Wish me luck on changing my lifters.. I have never changed lifters
before but from what a mechanic told me. It isn't hard.. I will let you know
how it went..

Its not too hard to do. A few things to keep in mind though. Keep the old
parts that you are going to reuse in order. Pushrods, rocker arms, fulcrums,
etc. all develop wear patterns, and mixing them could result in accelerated
engine wear. Also,,, clean everything ral good and put some type of lube on
the parts when you put them back in. Camshaft break-in lube on the lifter
faces that ride on the cam is a good idea. I also use a lube called
Lubriplate 105 when I reassemble valvetrain and other components that need
lubrication to prevent a dry start. Other than that, good luck.

Well.. I got the valve cover off and the inside looks good.. No sludge at
100,000 miles.. I must be doing something right.. LOL.

Also, I noticed that the valve cover is metal not plastic.. I am the
original owner of this Jeep and I know it is factory.. Was there a time when
they made some with plastic and some that was metal?? Oh well.. Back to get
my hands greasy...
