part number for composite vc gasket

The VC's come with the gasket on them from the factory, you will not find one aftermarket, nor will you find one from Jeep. They typically tell you to buy a new VC, since it has the gasket already on it.

Get some silicone gasket maker, I used the RED Hi-Temp one for mine. I did it the 1st time, waited an hour, then drive it, that was my problem. It leaked a little. The 2nd time I waited overnight, then it was good. You need to tighten the bolts on the VC in a criss-cross manner so the gasket seats correctly.

Good luck.
 
Felpro makes a nice VC gasket. I have installed a couple of them. There have been several discussions here on this topic. I suggest you do a search.

I sit corrected
 
the gasket will work with a HO. Most everything as far as gaskets are interchangable between HO and non-HO motors
 
It should fit most 4.0s with the aluminum valve cover, Chrysler p/n 5093785AA. Its for the 94 & 95 4.0s. The only difference I'm aware of between those years and earlier is the style of vents. The gasket lists for $26, and is rubber with self-adhesive for the valve cover side.
