Re: 4.0 external oil blow-by WAS: 94XJ Blow-by
The local Jeep dealer knew exactly what I was looking for, pulled it
off the shelf and I was on my way for under $25. There's also something to be said for checking with Jeep in the process - sometimes they surprise you!

Re: 4.0 external oil blow-by WAS: 94XJ Blow-by
Likely good advice, but I've been raped by my local dealer so many times on parts costs that they are a very distant last choice. I know that we've opened the dealer parts pricing can-o-worms before so I won't go there just now.
