Hello, does anyone know where I might find valve covers for my 93 4.0

 

The first two links may or may not work on the 1993 the ones listed on eBay seem to be cheaper and show they fit.

Just as a heads up
Stamped steel valve covers will leak if you remove them and do not straighten them before reinstalling

The metal bends when bolts are tighten, when unbolted the metal does not straighten itself
Use a hammer and wood or metal back piece to straighten around the bolt holes


There is no debate between cork or rubber gaskets, lol.

Use cork gaskets if you are not going to be pulling valve covers off all the time

Rubber gaskets are only used when you need access to valve train on a regular basis, because they can be reused, up to a point

Cork gaskets seal better because they swell up as oil soaks in, but are, for the most part, not reusable.
