  • Passenger-side cover has an oil-filler hole.

Mr. Gasket: Valve Covers for AMC/Jeep

David Ayers Leave a comment
Use This Post Clip for Email

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.
