Carbureted engines and sealing
Carbureted engines of this era route fuel and air through a different intake setup than later fuel-injected Jeeps, so the valve cover area is often crowded by linkage, hoses and the air cleaner. Work around these parts carefully when removing the cover, and label any hoses so the reinstall goes smoothly. A grommet that seals well keeps oil out of the top of the engine and protects the area around the carburetor.
Measure the opening the grommet must seal before buying, and compare that size with your old part. A worn grommet often shows as oil residue around the cover edge or a cover that rocks slightly when tightened. When the cover is off, check its gasket surface for warping, since a flat seal depends on both faces.
- Keep the carburetor linkage clear of the cover area
- Replace a hardened grommet rather than reusing it
- Use fresh gasket material if the old one tears
