Hey,
I'm replacing the headgasket on my bro's ZJ 4.0. As I unbolt the rockers, it seems the little hat-shaped pieces of metal that connect pairs of rockers keep bending (the bolts are on very tight). Are these cheaply replaceable, or do I have to straighten them to reinstall? I'm a little shocked at just how easy it is to pull the heads on these jeeps - I just got done with a Range Rover and it seemed like I could do the jeep with my eyes closed - till I ran into these rocker covers. Anyway help would be great because I need this job done my tomorrow night.
Joe
