Reviews for Crown Automotive 33003857 Plastic Valve Cover for 83-92 Jeep CJ & Wrangler YJ and 86-92 Cherokee XJ & Comanche MJ with 2.5L Engine
I was skeptical of ordering this valve cover after reading the reviews. I must say I couldn't find an alternative cover, so I ordered this one. It states on the one side by the bolt holes to "pry here". So even though the holes don't line up, you must pull the cover over so they will. After a couple adjustments of tightening the bolts, there are no leaks. I did have to put a rubber gasket on the oil cap to make it tight. Other than that, it works fine.
Worked as intended and fit no problem in my 89 YJ
This never sealed. When you tighten the bolts the cover bows and flexes raising it up in between the bolts allowing it to leak. They were torqued to spec.
Junk. This is why Chinese manufacturing gets a bad name. The valve cover is out of spec in multiple places, and would require heading and bending the sidewalls to align with the threaded holes in the head. The new grommets, and the old grommets would not sit securely in their respective holes as the thickness of the valve cover was too thin to hole them securely. I will not be ordering from Crown again.
