Motorcraft UVCH

Does anyone have a source for OEM? All reputable suppliers seem to be out of stock and Complete Performance wants $171/per.

Riffraff is out?

I will see if I can find what I bought some years ago. It wasn’t OEM because I was in a time crunch. Seems to be holding up fine so far.


I think I ended up with a Standard Motor Products brand gasket.

I think mine are Victor Reinz, maybe Mahle...probably just repackaged anyway from the O.E. Those brands are a factory supplier to BMW and MB.

No way I would plunk down near $200 delivered for one

I know, that price is insane. Yeah RiffRaff is out of them, I need to call them today about something else and will ask. In the interim I’ll look for the other manufacturers you posted, thanks.

I do know I snagged from Cockauto, they might have been Felpro. Package was blue, so probably Mahle and were definitely same as O.E.

Not like Ford makes them, for instance my old 6.4 fuel filters may have had FORD on box and filters...Parker Racor holds/held the patent and made them with a Ford stamp and marked up accordingly buying Maxxforce 7 one from a heavy truck place saved about $45-50 each time. Did the same with oil filters

Just like the glow plugs, probably made by Bosch or Beru

These are RockAuto’s offerings, the $61 part is is on par price wise with OEM but not from a company I’ve heard of, have you?

GP gasoline injectors are fine, pal just did a set

'Famous Brand' is probably buys stuff in bulk from places closing and resells. Ultra Power does for sure, they do not make anything I have seen.

If you're serious about your truck, upgrade to the super duty gaskets and uvch.

if youre desperate to get your truck running, i have some spares here, I think a few of them are new dormans. I do have a new set of dorman gaskets. And I have some of my old motorcraft UVCH's from when I did the SD conversion.

Thanks, it’s not urgent (I’m not broken down) but when I was doing my turbo and had everything off I ordered a new gasket from Riffraff not realizing I had the original style gasket harness on there still on the drivers side. I’m still looking for a suitable harness as the Motorcraft ones are unobtanium right now. I found Alliant from an unused source, but might give them a try.

My parts guy at the local Ford house told me that part has been discontinued by Ford.
