Valve Cover Grommet?

[BL00DSH0T]

I tried searching and didn't see any place to order these.
Anyone know where to get a set?

They are the round rubber grommets on the top of the valve cover.

Thanks

Go to your FORD dealership. That is the VCT plug/gasket. Around $10 I think.

05-06 are different than '07 and later so pay attention to what they give you.

^^ this; if you need the part numbers for the 08 and up let me know.

I think I found them. I usually buy from parts.com cause they have detailed diagrams, but didn't see it listed for the Mustang.

Is part #3L3Z-6C535-AA correct for a 2010.

Thanks

I will look and get back to you.

correct part number is 7L1Z-6C535-AA as per the bag it came in from Ford; they list for $7.56, I got mine for $6.80 from my local Ford.

Thanks....
I ordered the oes I listed but hopefully they can change them since they haven't shipped yet.

Another question is how do you get them out?

I messed with them for a few and it seems like they are glued in there.
I'm thinking of just taking them to the powdercoater and have them chemically dip them and powder coat them.

Easy, take a socket and from the inside of the valve cover drive it out with a rubber mallett and socket. They just "push" back in with a little oil around the edge.......at least mine did.

^^ this method worked on the 05-08 style but on the newer VC's you destroy them taking then out.

The socket didn't work. I ended up just using a flathead screwdriver on the edge and they punched right out. Both are destroyed though.

I'm dropping the valve covers and the Procharger piping off at the powdercoaters tomorrow.

Thanks for the help everyone.
