If you ever get your 4.2 replaced, order a engine with a head that
takes the metal valve cover instead of the plastic one that warps
and spews oil. RTV worked just fine for my metal valve cover...

The older heads can be drilled and tapped for the bolts to hold on the
metal cover. The YJ's came that way and the later CJ's.
I am running a head with no bolt holes in it now. The cover is only
held on by two nuts on rocker bridges up top and a 'really' cleaned
surface with a skim of RTV and cork sandwich. After 5 years it is just
starting to seep oil, no drips yet.
