Put a Wix 51515 on today and checked to see if I was still leaking after all the gaskets I've done. Turns out I am. I can't tell if its coming from the OFA I just did or some oil pan bolts I didn't tighten/overtightened.

What did I do to the Cherokee today. Well the knowledge base on here is awesome and based on that I found the leak. I poured a little water on the intake manifold and sure enough, at #6 idle went down to 750 RPM for a second as the water blocked the leak, then back up to 1100 RPM.

I got a spare one at the junk yard and ended up doing two of them.The first one,I did not like the way it came out.Maybe with some filler and more sanding it can be fixed.

I used a piece of paper as a feeler guage when I did mine. Here's where I had to grind.
