Dorman 635-409 Engine Timing Cover Compatible with Select Models

Perfect fit for my 1989 4.2.

One of the two alternator holes will need to be cut shorter for a 1988 2.5L XJ. The top one ended up being too short. I used the cut off piece to use as a washer. Worked out perfect. But you will need a saw...

Good deal only issue I have it they should put in description that it comes with crankcase seal. I bought one for no reason

I purchased this timing cover while replacing the timing chain on my 97 TJ. I had discovered that the stock cover was all marred up from the old tensioner exploding and the various parts rattling around inside there (plus the old one was REALLY dirty and I didn't feel like cleaning). This cover fit perfectly and looks 1 thousand times better than the old crust timing cover it replaced. It included the gasket, but I had already purchased a fel-pro gasket kit and opted to use that (better?) gasket instead. I also got this as an Amazon Warehouse deal and got it ridiculously cheap... huge bonus there!

Does not alight like the stock part. Front seal will leak if you do not get it just right.

The one I received had 11 bolts holes Vs 9 for the OEM so had to use my grinder - it is thicker also compared to OEM so i wasn't able to torque the harmonic balancer as it will rub on the timing cover.Not recommended for 4l TJ!! waist of time & Money!

product was as close to an oem item

Arrived as described, fit my 97 grand Cherokee limited with no issues
