Reviews for Crown Automotive Aluminum Valve Cover Kit for 93-04 Jeep Wrangler YJ & TJ; 93-01 Cherokee XJ and 93-04 Grand Cherokee ZJ & WJ
Valve cover came with chips and huge uneven spots on cover which didn't allow it to seal properly
Absolutely stay away from this product. Poor quality and the lid came off multiple times until I lost it.
This product has made me rethink the quality of the Crown brand.
I will definetly think twice before I purchase Crown again.
Pass on this poorly designed junk part!! Wish I had opened it up when I purchased it over one year ago, but life happened and just got to installing it this weekend, so a refund is out for me I'd imagine...
The oil fill cap is a joke. Press fit really?? and no threads for a standard cap? My bad for not reading the description closely enough I guess. Everything about the fit and finish of this part screams cheap manufacture. The milling is rough and it has sharp edges everywhere. The hex head bolts included do not have adequate shoulder for most of the holes in the new cover, and no post-head bolts were included that are necessary to re-mount hose brackets, throttle linkages, etc that slip over the top of them. When beginning the initial tightening, the paint cracked and flaked from around each bolt hole immediately upon contact with the bolts. Moving around the pattern, tightening a bit at a time to evenly distribute pressure, I worked toward the recommended 5 ft lbs. Icing on the cake--rear passenger side flange of the part cracked before reaching the required torque. Removed and reinstalled old cover with the new gasket.
Was looking for an alternative, and I'm amazed to see this part still for sale here. Leaving a review to warn others. Stay away.
Really liked the initial appearance of this valve cover and was looking forward to replacing my leaking OEM cover. Sadly the poor quality became evident during installation - the cover cracked while tightening the end bolts - to a whopping 84 inch pounds using a torque wrench. Poor quality metal. Will not buy anything by Crown again.
I will be returning this valve cover. The oil cap is like a rubber cork, it is not a "twist and lock". It will not fit a normal twist an lock cap.
0 stars. Do not buy, very poor quality. 1992 XJ ccv valves and oil cap do not fit this junk. Save your money, clean your valve cover and paint it yourself.
VERY Disappointed in this product. The finish is horrible. Hardly any paint on it at all. I started to send it back, but didn't want to go through the hassle. I plan to sand the paint off and just leave it bare and polished aluminum. Also, the black allen head cap screws don't look good at all. They will be replaced with stainless steel, hex head cap screws.
I just received my valve cover and installed it on my 02 TJ. I took my Jeep out for a drive to get oil and a filter and when I got home my brand new valve cover was cracked on both ends. I will never deal with Crown again. CHEAP JUNK would be a better name.
The oil cap blows off whenever I accelerate and lets oil leak all over. It's almost impossible to find a replacement for the junk cap. Heavily considering getting my old one back on just because of the terrible cap.
Cheap quality, over torque and it will crack.. junk!!!
