Reviews of OEM FORD valve cover gasket

-Valve cover gasket leaks - difficult access to rear bolts

-Wiper motor shorting out due to water damage to internal electronics (replace motor, and seal wiper cowl with silicone)

-Cabin air blows out of random vents, all vents, or only one vent (bad O-rings on internal solenoids in EATC unit)

-Cracked coolant crossover on intake manifold (pre-2003 vehicles)

-peeling clear/paint on 90’s - 00’s models

-leaking oil filter adapter gasket

I tried to replace the original valve cover gaskets once when I had them off for another reason but I ordered the wrong ones so I just stuffed the stretched and checked originals back in and... they're still fine.

I also replaced the valve cover gasket because it was weeping a little oil in the spark plug tube. That's a known issue on the 2.5Ls.
