never done this before on my jeep

 

Super easy. Pull the two hoses from the top. Pull all the bolts with a 7/16 socket, don't forget the one in the back. Pick up the cover, replace gasket and put everything back. Sometimes the nut on the backmost headbolt is in the way, you can remove it with an 18 mm and put it back when you're done.

 

is there any wires underneath the cover at all i should no about

 

my friend said there were wires or som**** idk

 

Theres no wires under a valve cover. There's 2 nuts on the passenger side valve cover bolts that hold the spark plug wire organizer down. No big deal.

 

Yeahh Do What Donnie Said, Thats Exactly What You Want To Do. Good Luck

 

As long as you've got the thing off, hit it with some degreaser and a little rattle can. Looks a lot better and easier to keep clean with a coat of paint on it.

 

Bro Your Engine Is Super Clean, How The Hell Did You Get It Like That?
I Mean Mine Is Always Gettin Muddy And All That Dirty Stuff, But Even When Am Done Muddin I Pressure Wash My Engine While Its Running, I Use Degreaser, But Mine Has Never Looked Like That, What Do You use On IT??

 

Cleanest I've ever seen.

You raise a good point about replacing the gasket. Make sure you clean it well before removing the cover. You don't want any dirt getting in the valvetrain.

 

you need to pop the throttle, cruise and trans kickdown cables(if auto) out of that bracket by the throttle body. I popped all mine and laid them over on the pass. side.

 

That helps but isn't mandatory.

 

really? you can lift the cover with the controls in place?

 

Have done it on mine 5-10 times in the past week trying to track down a tick

 

wow, I had a hard enough time without the cables there. I struggled with the fuel rail and the rear wiring harness.

 

didn't have to take those off either
