I got the felpro cork to replace mine when i first got the jeep. Was wanting the rubber one, but came home with the cork one some how. Its worth getting the rubber just so you dont have to rtv the damn cork one down to make it stay in place while you put the valve cover on.

I have this weird squeaking that seems to happen at random, its kind of a light high pitched squeak and seems to increase as I pick up speeds but I haven't noticed it to be related to turning. And the weirder part to me is that it goes away the second I touch the brakes, I don't even need to touch them enough to start slowing down, just a tad basically. Any ideas?

Sounds like its something with the brakes I'd say pull the calipers off and spray some brake cleaner on them

Can someone link me to a thread? I'm looking for a thread, which I think the title is XJ XJ XJ or something like that. I tried searching, but for some reason, I can't find anything.

uhhh.. what's in said thread? If you can remember a sentence or two that was said in it and type it into google, it should pull it up.

Lots of things will crack if you probe at them. Also if you probe cracks. Not recommended.

0331 TUPY is indeed on 2002+ 4.0s. Any owner with an original 0331 can also use one from an earlier XJ, but you'd need to fab up something for the coil rail.
