Jeep yj valve cover gasket replacement Videos

You need some weather strip adhesive to glue the valve cover gasket TO the valve cover. It's the yellow glue at the parts store. It dries really fast and keeps the gasket from moving when you install the valve cover. Line up the bolts holes and glue the gasket down. Let dry for a few hours. Then a thin bead, repeat THIN bead of silicone on the FelPro cork valve cover gasket. The FelPro is $9 at Autozone. Snug down the bolts until it GENTLY squeezes out the silicone SLIGHTLY. Let dry for 24 hours. Once dry GENTLY snug the bolts down. Don't over torque them, just a gentle snug is all you need. The silicone will glue the valve cover down.

If you go on bj's offroad you can buy a really nice metal valve cover with all the screws gasket for like $80 that's what I did to my 82 Cherokee and it don't leak a drop anymore!
