[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 432326, member: 18789"] I got the 93127 from RockAuto. You can also get the 931275 which is right above it in the listings, but I opted not to. The difference is that the 931275 is made for rebuilt engines and comes with a barely tighter chain. I actually considered it because I have a Jasper reman engine so I was wondering if it would be a better fit for me. But I didn’t want it to be impossibly tight, so I took my chances and the stock style one fit great with no slack and since it’s a double roller I don’t expect it to ever get much if any slack. As for the timing cover, I got it off eBay but looks like the listing I bought from is gone. They must have finally ran out. Maybe try MPG. Honestly, crown is probably perfectly fine. I know of some people who had issues with it but that’s because they were using it on a later TJ engine which has a different factory cover and chain, and it’s actually a different block that they started using in 2000. I don’t know what the differences are for the cover but I know it did not fit right. The real issue is that dorman and crown lost their timing cover to fit basically all years of the 4.0 and that isn’t correct, but they don’t list any other options for the later engines so those guys are kind of screwed - I don’t think they have a real option for a replacement. I think you will be ok with a crown or dorman on your YJ engine. [/QUOTE]
