I have a 74 CJ5 with a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l . I bought it from a teenage boy and his father who had "restored" it. As usual my work would have been much easier had they left it alone. My question is about the valve cover. It leaked, as usual, and they just kept tightening until there was nothing left of the gasket and in doing so cracked the valve cover around the washers. I have looked everywhere for a machined aluminum valve cover, and have come to the conclusion without spending a fortune that just isnt gonna happen. Does anyone have or know where i could find a replacement or a used? At this point all I want is for it to stop leaking!
