Thank You For All Your Awesome Videos..You Remind Me Of My Dad Who Passed Away From Cancer 9 Years Ago And He Loved Working On Cars.I Remember My 1st Car Was A 1986 Volvo That He Took From A Diesel Enginge And Made It A Regular Engine Just So It Was Easy For Me To Drive..I Would Spend Hours Out In His Garage Watching The Chaos Going On And Your Videos On Things With Cars Brings Me Back To Those Days And I Thank You..My Dad Loved His Cars, Football And His Ny Rangers...Can't Wait To See More...

You got so many years of mechanicin' over me that I am just going to hold my peace and probably learn something! I will just keep tuning in to the same bat time same bat channel to watch the amazing duo, rpeek and thoeckel.

Me and my dad are about to replace the valve springs in my 95 jeep sport watchin your vids on your jeep is maakin me wanna get to workin on mine. Great job Mr. Peek.

I hope you feel better soon. Valve cover is looking good.

Pretty slick looking valve cover there. Now your Jeep is a real hotrod!

You are wise to give that sealer a little while to sit, I think your patience will pay off. :-)

You are doing a fantastic Job ! I hope You feel better soon my friend !

FYI...NAPA sells a valve cover gasket that uses a steel shim between two gaskets....I forget what they call it but it stopped the leak on my plastic cover....it's a very rigid gasket that holds its shape well....it worked when other gaskets failed.

Once I J-B weld a valve stud in a 1971 Pinto and it held for years.

@towrecker No. The chrome one has a notched side on both sides. Mine has a straight side on one side and notched on the other..

@towrecker I'm sorry my computer crashed when I tried to read your comment, and I've decided to hitch hike to mexico and don't think I'll be home for a while. Just so you know..

valve cover looks good btw...

On the front you could take the heater hose off and the rad hose off and get a socket on it. On the back you may be able to get a wobble joint on it with some extensions but Im not there to see it up close so i really dont know.

yep i asked the question about the stripped out bolts, that be me, i am always worried about breaking off bolts or having to drill and tap new holes. my dad had a car-wash, actually several car-washes, with all the water involved , bolts were rusted and stuck more often than not. we went thru plenty of easy outs working on stuff. easy outs LOL not hardly!@%$#@ i always enjoy seeing the follow through on a work in progress buzz

@19stoney64 Thank you neighbor. Always good to have you stop by.

@towrecker Get me what? You already got me a non blinkin' yeller light to put on my snow plow for when I'm not plowin' snow...

getter done man

Thanks for watchin'!

rpeek they make extended fastners that reach up to the top of valve covers for a lot of applications so maybe you can find some that will work on you cheep and then you will be able to reach them and get them tightened to the right torque. Just sayin, dang and dang some more

love your videos... and the backround music ! :-)

@rpeek no.. dont think so.. oh, it might if I put any oil in the engine. haha

@rpeek umm.. cant remember for sure 76 I think..

@1963impala2dr Well, in all actuality, there's plenty of room in there, it's just filled up with useless hoses and such. All that will go. I'm going to clean out the engine compartment so that when I get through with it you should be able to look in there and see what you see. 'course it'll never have as much room as that old truck of yours..

There ya go! Smart minds think alike! Woo Hoo!

Hello sir! I’m having an issue that i can’t seem to solve. I’m working on a 75 258, and the bolt near the firewall appears to be smaller than the rest. The bolts that fit the other holes is 1/4, but the back hole doesn’t seem to want to go. Any ideas you may have would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for posting!

Wish I could help. I can't remember the details when doing mine but I do remember it was hard to get that leak fixed. I hope you have good luck with yours... Wish I could help more.

Will 1/4 in drive stuff get in there? Poor Mr Peek. I hope you git well soon. Don't go smooching on Honeybaby an give it to her.

@rpeek just wait .....and worry .....it's scary isn't it .... ha ha ha you will give us all an interesting video of this one when ya get it ...but when am I going to send it ....the suspense is high .....ha ha ha homer fumdart made me do it :)

@cutworm59 Nope. I'll just fix it with my torque hammer and screwdriver. haha

@mschiffel1 Yep. That's what I've got on here now.

@rpeek if I get my lazy bone fixed , you might see it driving up your drive way lol

Where did you get that valve cover?. I got a 4.0. Was wondering if the make a cover for that engine, as my cover is on its last leg. if Im gona buy a new one a flashy one will be nice

@bubbarules1978 K. I've got the one I bought for a pre-80 Jeep. Guess I'll put it out on ebay and see if anyone wants it.

@rpeek In my (too far away) youth, I was involved with looking after 'third echelon' Land Rovers, clapped out, tired old girls they were, from the 1960s. They never had all that plumbing, and we could get them to run, and work, and they did a lot of hard pulling, all day. I looked under the bonnet (Google translation to American: hood) of a brand new one, all pipes and boxes, no idea where to start if it goes wrong. Progress?

@1963impala2dr Your valve cover leak?

@towrecker Wouldn't that be a trip... pun intended.

@towrecker That's right!

@harryfaber Yea it's true. One of the reasons for owning an old antique vehicle is to keep it simple so you can see what you got and fix it if it breaks. Can't do that if the hood is clogged with hoses and lines that lead to eternity and back.. hahaha. It's a motor with a carb. I know I can make it work without all that crap. haha

@towrecker I might actually show up there one day. I want my photo taken in the Thunder Road car...

@rpeek oh well , I thought that may have been the deal , and you just had not thought about it , you are absent minded like me sometimes ha ha ha

What brand is that new cover and what year is your cj? Mine is an 86 I'm looking for a cover.

Mine's an 83. I got the valve cover on ebay. Can't tell you a lot more about it than that 'cause I don't remember, but it cured the leak. Still don't leak a drop. One of the best things I did for the Jeep.

@1963impala2dr Thanks. What year is your'n?

@towrecker Your input is being processed in our complaint department and you should receive a reply within 47 days..

No leaks. The new valve cover did the trick

I was going to suggest you buy a new valve cover then the other side of my Brian, the side that watched all the videos told me that this is the new valve cover... Dang,I say.. I need a government job.. I'm super smart I can work for your uncle Sam... But that will not work either you live in the Great White North... LOL
