Though the venerable Jeep 4.0L inline 6 engine delivers adequate horsepower and torque from the factory, many off-road warriors want even more to conquer the most difficult terrain. Such adventurers would do well to pick up Larry Shephard’s Jeep 4.0 Engines: How to Rebuild and Modify from CarTech.

This 144-page book includes step-by-step engine disassembly, inspection of critical parts (e.g., block, heads, rotating assembly, intake & exhaust), important machining processes (e.g., decking and overboring the block), and stroker packages, which are some of the most cost-effective ways to increase performance.

Jeep 4.0 Engines: How to Rebuild and Modify (SA294) is the essential guide for at-home mechanics wanting to perform a professional-grade rebuild or high-performance build-up.

Mr. Gasket: Valve Covers for AMC/Jeep

Available in Chrome or EDP Black, these reasonably priced Mr. Gasket valve covers for AMC/Jeep V8 (and inline V6) engines are perfect for an upgrade in appearance or as a replacement of stock components. Their quality stamped-steel construction is tough enough to handle any application.

But before we get into the features, a word about EDP. EDP—or electrophoretic deposition— is a finishing process by which metal parts are electrically charged and then dipped in an opposite-charged paint solution. This sequence attracts the paint to the metal to achieve total part coverage with excellent corrosion resistance while also creating a smooth and nonporous layer of paint. EDP coats look great as they are, but you can also further paint or powder coat them as you desire.

Choose from two sets of part numbers:

9830BMRG (EDP Black) and 9830CMRG (Chrome)

  • For 1968–1979 AMC/Jeep V8.
  • Perimeter-style top bolt pattern.
  • Smooth top design.
  • Sold in pairs.

9831BMRG (EDP Black) and 9831CMRG (Chrome)

  • For 1964–1988 AMC/Jeep inline V6.
  • Perimeter-style top bolt pattern.
  • Smooth top design.
