9:40 THANK YOU! Couldn't remember how to route the crankshaft ventilation. You'd be surprised how hard it is to hunt down a photo or a video of this.

Great video, kina suprised to find that 02 -04 had metal covers and the later years went to plastic with the groove for the seal, I think that the grooved seal is a better design.

Great tutorial!? Couple of questions: why oil change after this? What to look for after removing the covers? What else to change while opening the top engine like this?

[charlessharratt]

Absolutely brilliant… make it look so easy which it ain’t..

[rickreceveur]

Helped a bunch.. Good job.. Guessed at 10 inch/pounds

[ourforeverfamily]

This is so helpful..but what about power steering fluid boiling over...is that do to Air? Will running the heater in high fix it?

[BigCobeFresh]

Please do head gasket replacement on the same model

[buddapest]

So I need to change my gasket. But I don't have the air blower. What do you suggest I can use in place of it to remove debris

[ryanlehning]

Hey, question: I just took off my valve cover and noticed a good amount of oil puddled in the back of the valve head, is that concerning? Or is that normal?

[romanrebisz]

Hi is the same for a 07 grand Cherokee or no

[jeannelson]

No Grove to put the gasket on the engine cover.

105ft lb of torque on these 20 yr old 10mm bolts that have been thousands of heat cycles is way too much. They'll snap.

[leana]

my coolant refuses to drain as so, it sort of just drips. What should I do?

[kellugraham]

Do you drain the oil out of the engine?

[keiannapercival]

Is there a way to do this without having to drain coolant?

[Erick_-bhsl]

where can i find that breather filter?

[farnorth]

Had one broken bolt ( stud) Does anyone know where to get one ? Autoparts stores and 2 different jeep dealers and no one knew. Any ideas ?
