yes but you need to check whether is early 89 or late 89. could be common block or noncommon block in the TC. i think they use different gaskets. dont quote me tho. call Rick Diego or Fwdperformance and get the head gasket from them, you will more satisfied with correct parts than autoparts stores

Plus one on that advice.I think all 8 valve are the same and I think the MP gaskets are back in stock. The head bolts are stretch to torque and best replaced? One other point is some of the exhaust stud holes are drilled into the coolant passages and need to be sealed if you get the head resurfaced.

I just noticed 2006 Jeep Wrangler Golden Eagle! That should be mine since the Golden Eagle Ferry is just north of St. Louis.

Thanks for the information but what tells me if it's a earlybuild date or later

oil pump block off plate on the front of motor would equal non commonblock early motor

fuel pump block off plate, brain was going toward its under the oil filter, typed oil instead of fuel
