NOT SUITABLE! fits valve cover gasket kits

Bought because it was said to fit my 79 cj7 and it does NOT fit. The packaging says it's only for the 80's and 90's. Now you have to take care of the return and charge the shipping cost for returns.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Very expensive

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Okay but why didn't I just go for this one instead of cork, it amazes me, I'm stupid. The ease of installation is phenomenal rather than trying to align the connector and RTV. Seriously, it took ten minutes, if that. Perfect fit for my 1989 Jeep Comanche. Spend a few dollars more and invest in it.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Almost never

Retighten them after a few days and everything should be fine after that

Fits easily on my '91 YJ 4.0. I suggest reinserting the bolts by hand from the back first, then moving them forward. Then tighten to specification, starting with the middle bolts and working your way forward in an X pattern. When that's done, fully tighten them again several times until they all reach their torque rating. After a few days, spin them again, after that everything should be fine.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Nothing

Worth the extra cost but don't forget the other little things

Bought for my '94 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0. Fits perfectly and for the most part no difficult DIY work. I strongly recommend that you also purchase Dorman PCV and vent tubes and rubber bushings. Over the years the rubber hardens making it impossible to remove the PCV and breather tube without damaging them and because they are hard no new ones go in. I'm an experienced shade tree mechanic and it took me about 3 hours to replace this one. Outside.

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • There are cons

Delivery was a nightmare

I had a project coming up and ordered this seal to finish on my day off. Well the delivery was delayed at first and then when I got it the block was all messed up. The box was almost folded in half. Now if I were to buy it from an auto parts store I would see that it works great, the quality of the seal looks good but in the state it was in I didn't trust it so I ended up buying another one. street instead.

Pros
  • Hands free working
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Costs money. . . .

The quality of this Fel Pro gasket is first class, definitely worth the price, very easy to install after a lot of prep work, highly recommended when using a gasket of this caliber. Just tighten it like a cylinder head in three steps until you reach the final torque. It's pretty easy not to over-tighten it as there are spacers built into the gasket that the bolts go through. Take your time though, patience makes good typing. Many thanks to Fel Pro for the excellent fit and finish.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Worth the extra money!

I'm glad I chose this pad over the cheap ones you need to relax. After I removed and cleaned the valve cover it was so easy to put it back on and put everything back together. Comparing the original seal with this one, the original immediately looks like a joke. When you look at it, it becomes clear why standard car seals sooner or later fail. In an ideal world, seals of this quality would be standard on cars. I haven't had any leaks since the replacement and it's been a few months now. The…

Pros
  • Sleek Design
Cons
  • Vulgarity

The best part is that it's made for it.

This is how valve cover gaskets for Jeeps should be. A bit more expensive than the cork version, of course. The good thing is that it is designed to be screwed on properly and will retain its thickness once tightened. The cork gaskets eventually compress and then quickly loosen the bolts, resulting in a typical Jeep mess. With a cast aluminum cap, make sure you tighten it gently in a similar pattern to the head bolts, starting with the center bolts and then the outer bolts, and if you take a…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion
