ok here's mine. I KNOW it doesn't fit my screen name.....at all...but it will soon. It hasn't touched dirt yet, just once in snow.
I think i win the cleanest engine contest...or the worst looking one. Hopefully somebody is cleaner so i don't have to be this embarrassed.

Mine is a Rock-It from Quadratec. They are alittle more than the Rusty's ones, and Quad kinda shafted me, FWIW.

X2!! That's why I keep mine as clean as I do!! I have a high milage XJ, so I want to know as early as possible if something is wrong. Oddly enough, the only thing that leaks on mine is the power steering system. I plan on changing that all next winter, so that should take care of it. Later!!

there is some concern about the pvc being affected by the heat, but im gonna fab up some kind of heatshield either tomorrow or next weekend. so far so good, i only replaced it because the stock air box had cracks all over it.

One from the XJ....
One from the ZJ...
I only wash the engine if I am working on it....
And yes I know I am leaking oil... I need to do the CCV cleaning replacement and see if that slows down or stops my oil barfing. I REALLY don't want to do rings on a 195K motor...
