I have a 87 Bronco II , the heads where replaced with re-manufactured heads in 1999 , I don't know at the moment if they are 89TM heads.
The valve cover gaskets where changed just before i purchased the truck a few months ago and now starting to leak again.
I see that the valve cover gaskets are the same part numbers for all years with the 2.9 .
I read in the 2.9 tech section that 89 valve covers have a turned up flange my covers are turned down.
So I am wondering if the 89TM valve covers for the new style head's would be a better seal.
A fairly local salvage yard has 89 BII parts at the moment and wondering if it's worth the trip to get correct valve covers for the newer heads.
I may grab the heads also !!
Any input would be great I like to do things the right way , well most of the time.
