Jeep TJ 4.0L Valve Cover Gasket replacement.

My 2005 4.0L smells like an oil fire, and has been marking its territory for quite some time. I've collected some replacement seals and gaskets over the past 2 years, and just never installed them. With everything closed.. I decided to start tearing things off, and finally get this done!

Nothing wrong with being thorough.

[@geoffvonderlinden8877]

Just did mine. Popped the wiring loom out of the plastic bridge, then removed the bridge which made life MUCH easier

I’ve been putting this off because I knew it was gonna be a pain in the ass. I have to replace my injectors so I guess I’ll do them both at the same time. I like realistic videos like yours because it shows how to overcome the challenges and not glass over them.

Thanks!

[@TheBeardedJeeper]

That back bolt sure looks fun. Nice job man.

[@PaulRavenstone]

I am literally in the exact same place as you. Wanted to get those 3 done during the Pandemic time off. Haven't because of the 1000 other projects I needed to get done. And am now at a week or so before work fires back up.

Good video sir. Thank you.

[@keithcerce8445]

Rear main too .. ? Wow. I'm about to start my 2nd tj, so much goop. This will be my... 5th straight 6 jeep cover job. Only had 1 that needed a new rear seal, a couple years later needed crank and main bearings too.

[@tylerrobbins9126]

I found it much easier to just remove the plastic wire cover in the back before taking the valve cover off and putting it back on after reinstall

[@Vran02]

awesome video!

[@PaulRavenstone]

What happened with the rear most grommet? Was it installed upside down like you thought, or was it correct?

[@jaymehm3544]

And you put the filthy cover back on?

[@adrievankempen2054]

Good video, I think I change the harness before, so if I take the valve cover off its much easier. The change the tires, they chance everything of a Jeep, why not self modifed the plastic harness?

[@Jarod1941]

No engine degreaser recipe in the description as promised.

[@kevinmcdevitt1033]

Those plastic CCV elbows are a pain. Not sure why some company hasn't produced an aluminum or stainless elbow as a replacement. Would be a vast improvement.

[@johnmclaughlin3906]

You still have that clamp on the hose?

[@freedomin4low344]

FSM calls for disconnecting everything from the driver side and laying the entire harness over to the passenger to get that plastic harness cover out of the way. I got on YT to see if I REALLY have to disconnect all that stuff and though you did get it done without it, it's a different flavor of suck. I just hate separating connectors that have bathed in engine heat and probably haven't been touched for 17 years...let alone 15+ of them that comprise the majority of the engine control harness.

no profit what a bad video
