Cracked Plastic Valve Cover
 

Hey guys,
Where's the best place to get a replacement valve cower for an 87YJ I-6cyl.
This one has been patched previously and is in real bad shape now.

Thanks Chuck

www.4wd.com or www.quadratec.com have the plastic replacements. You
might want to do the conversion to a cast aluminum one, much easier to
get the !!@@#@!! thing to seal in the rear.

Re: Cracked Plastic Valve Cover
 

I would highly recommend 4wd.com. After much hesitation, I bought an
aluminum valve cover for my '92 YJ from them because they were the only
ones I could find that said the cover would work on a 91 and up. Everyone
else advertised 93 and up, but no one could tell me what was different with
the 91 and 92 (this included people at 4WD). After I had everything
disassembled and clean, I was preparing to put it together when I realized
that the fresh air intake and the ccv hose did not fit the new cover. There
were no grommets provided and the holes were to big. I searched all the
local parts stores (at least the ones open on Sunday) and could not find a
grommet to make it work. I eventually bought a new cork gasket and put the
old cover back on. I called 4WD and told them of the situation and asked
them to pay for the shipping to return the valve cover, and they did.
Excellent customer service. The sad/funny part of the story is that the
main reason I was looking for the new cover was because I kept reading in
the news groups that the oil leak was typical because of the plastic valve
cover, but after I cleaned out all the sludge on the inside and the coat of
oil on the outside, I discovered the OEM was aluminum :-( I had tapped it
with a screwdriver before starting this mess, but with all the sludge
coating the inside it had no metal ring, and besides, everyone kept saying
they came with plastic covers. kinda funny.
Good luck,
Harvey
