I picked up 98 XJ with a freshly rebuilt motor last month, but the valve cover leaked pretty good at the very back.
Replaced it with a new Felpro. Still leaking.
Noticed that there was a *slight* bend to the mating side of the valve cover right where it was leaking. Replaced it with another valve cover from the junk yard (same gasket). Torqued it very lightly.
It's still leaking from the same spot in the back of the engine. What's next? I don't like buying these $35 gaskets only to have them leak again.
