Default valve cover gasket help
i have recently been leaking oil a little and I think it might be the valve cover gasket is bad I was just wondering about how long it takes to do a valve cover gasket on a Cherokee? I'm pretty mechanically inclined but I'm just trying to figure out about how long it takes on these engines I got the straight 6 thanks!

i finished mine in under an hour. the most time consuming part is cleaning all the oil and crud off of everything to put it back together.

15 minutes not including a half hour of cleaning the inside of the valve cover
