Rear main/oil pan help
hey guys on my 2000 Cherokee I replaced the rear main seal and oil pan gasket and it leaks even worse. It's not my valve cover gasket or oil filter adapter before anyone asks. My issue is that the rear main seal the store gave me had ears on it and my oem one did not so I trimmed them off after reading a different thread and I guess it didn't work lol. I also read that the oil pan gasket is different on these years and has a lip on the back near the rear main? Could anyone help me with the part numbers for this? Thanks

The Mopar number for the oil pan gasket for a 2000 4.0L is 53007-568AC. According to the parts catalog, that was the first year this gasket was used.
