HI I have my 90 Cherokee that I am changing the valve cover gasket on and I am wondering can the breather in the front of the valve cover be replaced by a K&N Breather or does it have to be that one because well the rubber on mine is old and pretty well crumbled during removal so Do I have to nreplace it with another O.E.M one or can I use the k&N Breather. Thanks

 

Are you talking about the first hole on the top of the valve cover?

 

Ya That one the back one closer to the firewall is fine

 

Shouldn't that run to the manifold for vacume (sry spelling) I think there is a spot right around the throttle body area for it to plug into. Do you have a haynes book or something similar.

 

I don't and there is a little thinger that has like 4 or 5 different hoses running to it going in and out running to various locations some run to the air filter etc.

 

Yes I beleive it should hook into that some how ,do a search on here try like emmisions and let me know if you find anything and I'll hunt for some pics for ya.

 

ok thanks

Ok yes you can do that I know there is a k&n filter just I dont know the part # just make sure the back one is attached to the manifold.g/l let me know if you need more help even though you found the answer lol

 

Lol thank you for the help I will let you know how it goes
