What would cause a valve cover gasket leak on a 1994 jeep Cherokee?

I just replaced a gasket on my '94 Cherokee and it started to leak. I used that RTC silicone gasket maker. I think my problem was I didn't let it cure long enough before driving it. I let it cure a full 24 hours like it said to, but I think it was too cold out to let it fully dry. Anyway, I pulled the cover off again, scraped all that crap off and just bought a premade gasket from the autoparts store for about 6 dollars and now it's not leaking at all. Now I just need to clean all that leaked oil off of EVERY engine component! Hope that helps.

How do you replace valve cover gasket on Jeep Cherokee sport 1992?
It's fairly simple. There should be one air line plugged into the valve cover that just pulls out, then you remove the bolts holding the valve cover on. Scrap off the old gasket being sure not to get a bunch of little pieces into the valves or valve springs, put the new gasket and the valve cover back on. The bolts should be tightened in a pattern similar to a tire but be sure you do not tighten them much. Just snug the bolts up evenly. Re-insert the air line and your good to go.
Where is the PCV valve located on 1989 jeep Cherokee?
There is no - repeat - no PCV on the 4.0 motor and many others in this year range. The crankcase ventilation system is actually the smaller plastic hose plugged at the rear of the valve cover leading to the intake manifold. It has a sized hole to control the amount of air it draws through the intake. Installing a PCV into the larger hose at front will pressurize the crankcase and blow the weakest gasket, causing oil leaks and a series of gasket and seal changes that never solve the problem. Do not install a PCV unless you know for a fact the factory put it there.
