We would strongly suggest getting only Motorcraft valve cover gaskets. We have seen a lot of trouble from Dorman, so I would save yourself the trouble down the road. Here is the Ford part number and what price you can try to get them to match.

No problem. Might even have a clean used set I can give you for shipping if you want.

Usually we run into wiring issues, burnt pins, loose pins etc.

I just did my passenger side harness with a dorman because of a burnt glow plug pin in the original oem gasket. The one I got from dorman was a 1 piece gasket and internal wiring harness. There was no connector on the inside of the gasket. Was yours like this or a 2 piece?

The kit comes with the truck side wiring harness pigtail which is nice to keep for testing.
