Ford Explorer Valve Covers & Parts

An engine consists of a number of components that are lubricated by oil for smooth and lasting operation. A specially designed valve cover is installed over the upper valvetrain in order to keep that oil from leaking and dust and dirt out of an engine. It seals with a special gasket which is made from synthetic, cork, or molded rubber. Over time, it hardens and gets cracked resulting in oil leaks. Obviously, it should be replaced before more serious engine damage occurs. When the time comes to replace this part of your Ford Explorer, browse through our selection to find the right replacement.

Valve covers are made from more durable materials such as metal and plastic. The industry also offers a variety of aluminum models to choose from. Some of them are adorned with decorative fins, the automaker’s logo, and so on. Whatever the material, they are prone to wear. You may also need a new cover if you have upgraded your SUV with performance rocket arms that require more clearance than the stock ones. Ford Explorer valve covers are available in a wide range on our digital shelves. So just take your time and choose the right one for your model.
