Complaining about good oil pressure? No relation to the CAT.
If you do the valve cover gasket, bite the bullet and get the expensive FelPro blue silicon one. It's way better, you don't need any extra adhesive or sealer, rigid and stays in place during install. Unlike the cork one that you need to glue into the cover first, shrinks and leaks a few years later. Having done an 89 cover recently, I ended up pulling the heater hose off the thermostat housing to get enough room to get the cover out. Preferably before undoing the cover so you don't have to worry about dumping coolant into the top of the head.
@cruiser54 does this pass the official cruiser test? Previously Negative terminal wire-brushed and sprayed deoxit Other grounds - same treatment Oxgard applied Oxgard applied A little Oxgard to the nut also Wire-brushed and sprayed with deoxit Put back together
Yep
are you planning on adding the extra ground cables as well?
I am going to, yes. My Jeep doesn’t appear to have a lot of the issues other Jeeps of my year have but I don’t see how adding additional grounds can hurt.
