Valve cover gaskets. . .

Where are people buying new ones? I need new ones that seal well and don't give me problems. Sources? Prices?
Thanks
Timmy

Are you sure you are having issues? They rarely fail, but if you need them this might help.

Well I have a startup no-ignition on one cylinder that could be poor compression(although the numbers weren't that bad) but could also be poor connection to a glowplug. Having not dove into the troubleshooting yet. . . I know they need replacement based off of the oil that like to sneak past them Are you Ford parts or aftermarket? If aftermarket. . . whos? Thanks.

The dealer.

You'd be hard pressed to find a dealer that doesn't have a few sets in stock so it's a same-day deal.

Besides, OEM parts are the only way to go.

Yep, made by Motorcraft, so OEM Ford parts. Only way to go on that IMHO.
