ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
- This detailed video shows you how to replace your passenger side valve cover gasket on your Jeep Wrangler JK 3.6 L. It shows you step by step (start to finish) how to approach this task in your home garage. Many other videos show you when using a commercial car lift but this will show you how to access everything from a home garage.
What makes this video unique is we gain full access to the valve cover by first removing the battery box tray located on the passenger side. We do not remove the tire nor inner fenders. This video also includes how to remove and replace your PCV valve, your PCV hose, ignition coils, gaskets, as well as refilling your vehicle with coolant. There are many notes and highlights capturing information about next steps. Spark plugs are not changed in this video but access to them is shown.
The gasket kit and other materials used in this video are the following:
Gasket Kit - MAHLE (for both sides) VS50657
Mopar 50/50 Coolant (OAT) - 90032
Dorman PCV Valve - 46835
ARES - No Spill Coolant Funnel Set 71004
Please read your owner's manual for specific details on your fluid capacity & coolant requirements.

i'm typically working with asian cars with occasional european tossed in so i've seen many a video through youtube uni. yours is amongst the finest i've seen in video & audio presentation thus ultimately high working quality tutorial. very nice work sir. thank you!
btw, i was wondering why the video was separated by banks but now i understand. thanks again
Thank you for your positive feedback! We are glad the video helped and appreciate you watching our channel.
What a PITA indeed. I changed my PCV valve and took the battery tray out to do it. Lots of cussing and bloody knuckles but got it done. Said to myself if I ever had to replace the PCV valve again I would just throw the jeep out. Lol. Well…..I’ll be dealing with it again since I have to replace the valve cover gasket and also fix the ticking issue with the rocker arms. Wish I did all at the same time but such is life.
Yes! Many times I scratch my head and say what else can I do why I have everything apart, and normally I forget one thing. But I’m glad the video helped you and I wish you luck on your next project. Thank you for watching.
@@JohnsJeepGaragethanks man. And agreed. I may do the oil cooler housing while I’m doing all this. I had to replace it 5 years ago. I’m sure I’m on thin ice and may as well put a new one in. Love Jeep and this is my second one but I’m done after this. They just aren’t worth it. Too many bs repairs and shoddy quality.
Thank you again for watching.
Thank you for going so in-depth with your video. Others don’t show the detail you do. I really like your socket trick with the spark plug gaskets.
Thanks for watching! I am glad it helped. I appreciate the feedback!
😎✌🏼
Priceless like all your videos. Thanks for take time to teach us. I have a JK Sport (2014), and your videos, in the more easy tasks, they have helped me save money.
Apologies for my poor english but I'm native spanish speaker.
Greetings from Colombia
You are very welcome! Thank you for watching our channel. 😎✌🏼We are also on Instagram & Twitter which they now call X.
Thanks for the video.. I am watching now because I am as at this day working on a jeep wrangler-sahara 3.6 2012. I am taking off the the driver and passenger valve covers. And I was looking for a video to teach me how to removed them.. Thank you. From Mexicali,Baja California Mexico.I am about 14 minutes away from the Calexico, California boarder...
Good luck! I hope my video helps you! Thank you for watching our channel. 😎✌🏼
Great video. I just changed my cam phasers. I am really starting to hate my Jeep.
Ha ha! I am laughing with you. Thank you for watching.
😂😂 I’m working on my wife’s jeep almost every weekend I hate the damn thing
what a legendary video, this process is such a beast! thanks for putting this together for us all
Thank you for the compliment! I am glad the video helps and appreciate you watching our channel. 😎✌🏼 I also subscribed to your channel. Very cool logo.
You can use a piece of 1 inch pvc if you don't have the 1 1/16 inch socket. Works perfect as well in case anyone was wondering.
I posted your comment so others can read it. Thank you for watching our channel.
Im in the middle of changing out this valve cover at the moment and watching video but i didnt have a 1 that socket but i am an hvac guy so the 1 inch pvc worked like a charm lol@@JohnsJeepGarage
Love it! Thank you for watching.
Both valve cover videos were great! But.. now getting a p0480 cooling fan engine code that I have to debug...
I’m not certain if it happened after you changed both covers or if it’s an existing problem. If the change happened right after my assumption is something may have been impacted with the wiring. There’s an article I have read that I will share a link which may be able to help. Let me know what you find out. Thank you for watching our channel. realjenius.com/2018/06/28/pentastar_radiator_fan/
@@JohnsJeepGarage - thought I shook a wire when replacing the housing. still investigating, thank you
Please share when you find out. We are also on X (Twitter) and Instagram
Be sure to check your oil gallery bolts
ALL FOUR of mine were loose , one about all the way to falling into the timing chain
Thank you for sharing and also watching our channel. This reply has been posted for others to read.
@@JohnsJeepGarage
Doesn't hurt to check while ya got it opened up right ?
The only reason I looked at mine was because I read several others on the Jk forums with the same issue.
I snuck a 13 box wrench behind the chain loosened them cleaned them in place and blue loctite before wrenching them back down TIGHT
@@JohnsJeepGarage
Last thing a Jeep wants is a bolt bouncin around the timing gears
This is posted for others to review - thank you for the info.
I did my 98 TJ this summer, that was a pain in the ass. This looks to be worse.
The Passenger side is a pain. The driver’s side is much less of a pain. All doable but still a pain. 😎✌🏼🔧 I will release the driver’s side video soon. Thanks for watching!
Good video thanks I used for my valve cover replacement….i got everything back together and I had lights on the dash, but it won’t crank over when you go to start. There’s nothing have any ideas. I really would appreciate it.
Sorry to hear that. I can offer some troubleshooting suggestions but also have a couple questions. If it doesn't crank or even turn over, I believe you may have disconnected something in the fusebox or possibly blown a fuse. When it doesn't turn over ... I think fuse, battery and alternator (if you disconnected it). If it turns over but doesn't start, then I look back at the connections for the ignition coils or fuel injectors. Since it started before you did this, I can only think of what may have changed.
Thanks for your suggestions it’s much appreciated…. The blue connector on the bottom of the fuse box…do you happen to know that one is for?
I have some links I found -

Does it turn over but not start? Or no power?
Friend of ours has a Jeep with an oil leak. I figured it was the oil cooler. Got the manifold out to find the oil cooler perfect…bone dry. Looking at it closer, the passenger side valve cover appears to be leaking back by the rear corner ( near the PCV). Is it common for just the PCV to leak? I am going to recommend doing the valve cover gasket set and probably doing a new pcv too…
It is possible. On the JK, the valve cover gasket is a common issue and usually shows on the back corner. You need to remove the PCV valve to remove the cover so I always suggest doing that change. Without seeing it I would guess somewhere on the gasket is leaking based on your description. Thank you for watching.
@@JohnsJeepGarage I figured as much. I’ll do both. Thanks man!
Thank you again for watching our channel. We appreciate it.
Your PVC can wreak more havoc then just a leak .
A clogged up one will F some S up.
So let me ask you this ...
I gotta find a new motor for my wifes '14 , its at 179k & its only a matter of time .
She loves it tho , so here we go.
You got any good leads on one ?
I see your name references TX so I assume you are in Texas. Call the Jeep Slop Shop in Kemah, Texas. They do many engine swaps and may know of some options or have one. Most of who I know who would have one is due to some damage and it needs to be rebuilt. There are some rebuilt crate 3.6L online as well. There are many online as well but you may find once you pay for shipping, it may be better to pick one up from a shop.
