Thanks to all replies here, and agreed that there are likely two issues (at least) being compounded. I secured the new vacuum lines pretty well and made sure everything was where it should be, but would not be surprised if it still isn't quite right. That said, I just got the Mopar replacement...

Hey all, The saga continues with my '04 Liberty. Got things patched up after replacing the valve cover gaskets, and sure enough the oil leak appears to be gone, but there is a newer and bigger problem now. I can start the car, and I can run it for a while, but it will stall out on me...

This may seem like small potatoes for most of you, but today I started my Libby for the first time in a week! New valve cover gaskets, swapped out almost the entire crankshaft ventilation system with a custom rig until the Mopar parts get here. Still seeing oil burn off coming from the valve...

Just had to reply directly to this one - yeah, I read a lot of the info about the valve cover bolts before hand. When I took the old ones off, it seemed pretty likely that the old ones had been over torqued because the grommets were almost every single one of them over compressed, cracked, and...

Thanks for all the responses here, folks. I actually started with the passenger side, as I knew that the gasket on that side was in worse shape than the one on the driver side so it was my priority. I did find the T joint eventually at the auto parts shop with the idea of building out a...

Hey all, New to the forum, but I've got a 2004 Liberty and have been doing some maintenance on it; specifically working on replacing the valve cover gaskets and the whole process has been a pretty significant headache. While working to get things disconnected and moved aside to gain access to...

Hey all, my wife and I have a 2004 Liberty, and are pretty pleased with it overall. Just looking around for a little advice on some of the things that we've noticed with it recently. Thanks all!
