RockAuto manifold(s) gasket in a no no
Had my motor rebuilt, and had this manifold gasket since day 1. Threw it on last night and the ports are huge. Use caution if you ever get one. Went to parts store and just picked up a felpro. Here is a pic, you can see I learned the hard way and had exhaust blow outs at every port.
New gasket is on the bottom. I never even thought to verify, especially since the leaks were on the bottom side of the manifold. Couldn't see them without folding myself in half under the jeep. New gasket on, runs and sounds great.

One of those gaskets is for the 0630 heads found on pre-'99 XJs. The other is for the 0331 head found on the 2000 and 2001 XJ, which is prone to cracking.
Did you swap heads to the 0630 with the engine rebuild?

I've found that the best bet for these gaskets is to get an OEM gasket from the dealer. They don't cost much more than aftermarket gaskets and are a dead nuts fit.

Same applies on a few other parts as well. When a local parts store has some items I buy them instead of ordering online for that very reason, except for OEM sensors then I use an online Jeep dealer for those because of price.
If we don't start using local dealers, sellers not just for auto parts but a lot of other items were going to lose them and that will be a terrible thing. Look at what has happened to all to many of our small towns now after a Wal-Mart has came to town, Very Sad all the small mom and pops business's gone now.
It would be a bad deal if we lost even more brick and mortar stores of the few we have left.

If a choice has to be made, I'll take the internet age over warped nostalgia for mom and pop stores.

Sorry, but I wouldn't go back to the mom and pop era for anything. Back then you were stuck with what you could get in your town at whatever price they wanted to charge. Now I can get practically anything delivered to my door without some goof jacking up the price just because he's the only guy in town who has it or can get it. If they can't compete in a changing marketplace, something else will take their place.

Say what you will about Walmart, but back the 80s, it was a Godsend for rural Oklahoma. They carried items you'd otherwise have to drive to Oklahoma City to get and they sold it at a very good price. Of course, this was when Sam himself ran the company.
Another problem with Mom & Pop stores is they tended to operate 8:00 to 5:00 Monday through Friday and close on every holiday. I can't support a business when it's open only when I'm at work or school.
Yes, it's nice to visit a traditional establishment where you know the owners and they know the customers. Beyond that, there's not much benefit.
