Description
These finned aluminum valve covers are built for Chrysler small block "Magnum" V8 engines — 5.2L/318 and 5.9L/360 CID — from 1992 to 2003. The baffled design helps control oil splash and reduce blow-by, while the finned top and black finish give the valvetrain area a clean, performance look.
At 3-1/2" external / 3-1/8" internal height, verify clearance with your rocker arm and valvetrain setup before ordering. The 1.25" breather/grommet hole should match your breather cap or PCV valve neck size. These covers are sold as a pair with grommets and mounting hardware included — gasket is not included, so plan to source one separately.
One install detail worth knowing up front: the mounting screws for the internal baffle plates are not self-tapping, and the covers are not pre-threaded — use self-tapping screws or pre-thread the holes yourself to avoid stripping them during installation.
Applications
Fits Chrysler small block "Magnum" V8 engines: 5.2L/318 and 5.9L/360 CID, 1992-2003. Common applications include Dodge Ram 1500/2500/3500 (1992-2003), Dodge Dakota (1992-2003), Dodge Durango (1998-2003), and Jeep Grand Cherokee (1993-1998, 5.2L/5.9L).
Installation
Perimeter-bolt mounting style. Grommets and mounting hardware are included; gasket is not included. Baffle plate mounting screws are not self-tapping and the covers are not pre-threaded — use self-tapping screws or pre-thread the holes to avoid stripping. Verify rocker arm/valvetrain clearance at 3-1/2" external / 3-1/8" internal height, and confirm your breather cap or PCV valve neck size matches the 1.25" breather/grommet hole.
