What tools... specifically... would I need to replace my 1995 Grand Cherokee's head gasket and spark plugs? I'm stopping by AutoZone today on the way from the DMV and curious what I need to start working on my vehicle. Thanks.

Head gasket or valve cover gasket? A greenhorn should not dig into a head gasket, but a valve cover gasket is a different story. Get a new CCV and groment, you will will have to destroy the old one in order to get the valve cover out of the engine bay.

Yeah, the valve cover gasket, Bustedback. I'm thinking of entirely having a new engine installed or having this one rebuilt after I get the leaks fixed. I wonder how much a new one would cost. 4.0L 6cyl

I'll be sure to use different color tape. Good idea.
