Valve Cover Change & Cleanup

[dnt1010]

I cannot open any of the oil analysis files. Looks like I would have to join the FJ forum?
Anyway please go ahead and pull off a valve cover and get us an interior pic right away. Well, that is if you have that brace off your neck and your black eye has healed. What the heck happened man?
You have heard the old joke about what do you tell a person with 2 black eyes? Answer is "NOTHING" you already told them twice. Hahahaha

Valve Cover Change & Cleanup

I installed the new improved driver side VC# 12570427 and cleaned the pass side inside and out. Notice the small hole at the tip of the pick that's totally clogged on the original driver side VC, that can't be good?

Is that oil filler tube new too or is it the original? Mine is real loose an I believe that is were some oil my leaking oil is coming from.

Was it only the driver's side that was updated ?

Was it only the driver's side that was updated ?

Yes. The air/vapor/fumes/oil mist flows out of the driver's side and into the intake. They relocated the hole in the baffle so it wouldn't be directly over a rocker. The port on the passenger side is a fresh air inlet.

What brand did you buy? Checking rock auto they only have Dorman.... meh.

donjetman,

After you removed passenger-side valve cover for cleaning, did you try remove oil filler tube?

No, just made sure it was sealed tight.

No the filler is not new.
If yours is loose? clean it up good and use some JB weld to fix er up. You don't want any oil or vacuum leaks from the filler tube.

You don't want any ...vacuum leaks from the filler tube.

Huh?
