I got a kit, it has gasket and bolt seals. The original seals were continuous top side and bottom. The replacements have three fingers on the bottom and continuous surface on top. Does not give me warm fuzzy feeling. The valve cover did have spacer which I will reuse. Thanks everyone. Hopefully...

That's what I was looking for. I'll try a new gasket and bolt seals.

I resused the seals. I'd feel better about spending the $30 for a seal kit if I was pretty sure the newer cover was not just incompatible with the older cylinder head. That's the thought behind my original post.

Hey guys, I am using a newer stamped steel valve cover on an HO 4.0 with a 7120 head. There is a pretty good leak going from the VC down the back of the block. Has anyone here been successful with sealing the steel VC on a 7120 cylinder head? Thanks. Carl

@ o-gauge & jeeperjohn, it's not an XJ but a 4.0 swapped into a Scout. I could post pics but it wouldn't help with how to shoehorn the the reservoir into an XJ (and it might not be well received).

I use a YJ pump and remote reservoir with a late model manifold. I had to drill out two of the three threaded holes to use the long bolts that go thru the pump to the manifold. The third bolt was left short and attaches to the bracket. I also had to swap pulleys to keep proper belt alignment.

Okay I see you said three wire so hall effect type. For hall effect type the Jeep PCM supplies 8V into sensor which then outputs 5V square wave. Since you don't use Jeep PCM where are you getting 8V supply for VSS? You said the Toyota ECU expects 12V? What is the Toyota VSS supply voltage? If...

Jeep VSSs are 8000 pulses per mile regardless if reed type or hall effect type. Do you you know which type you have?

Swapped, you say? I had a pulley alignment issue after swapping a newer intake manifold and on a 94 YJ-flavored 4.0. In my case the "stick out" of the TJ pump shaft was slightly different and the pulley offset was slightly different too. I wound up with a 97 pulley on a 94 pump (drilled out the...

Dealership? I know they still have TJ trays at a reasonable price.

You could try running the 01 exhaust manifolds on the 0630 head without a gasket. It's been done.

It's common practice to bush worn carburetor throttle shafts, You need proper tools to get a good result. But,if you try it and it doesn't work, all you have lost is an already junk TB.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Only in Kalifornia. I have to admit it has a nice sound tho.

You can bench test the VSS, which for 92 is a reed switch type. The two terminals are either shorted or open depending on the angular position. Use a multimeter or continuity tester while slowly spinning the shaft. For every turn of the shaft it should cycle several times.
