thanks. i will hopefully finish tearing it apart tomorrow. i am just waiting on parts from the dealership.
 
Of course, now is a good time to clean the engine bay in the areas you cannot normally reach...if you are into that...
 
engine was burning a crapload of oil, right around 1quart every 300miles. most of it was coming out of the valve cover. i will clean it up really good and paint everything. there is oil all over the place.
 
Cool deal. Be sure you install a new valve cover gasket. I have one at home waiting to be installed. I was told they could be re-used when I put on a new valve cover. It is seeping just a tad, so the dealership vendor on the forum was cool, hooked me up with the gasket within 3 days, great price.
 
It was in the low 20's from what I remember. I called, got him on the line imediately. Best dealer experience ever. Too bad they are not in FL!
 
yeah i replaced the gasket but it still leaked. i am just hoping i get the engine running good. didnt do much today. i was offroading most of the day.
 
****!!!! ok finished taking apart the engine and found the real problem. pics coming soon.
