  Engine Valve Cover Stud, Bolt

• Description:

  This genuine Ford bolt is the valve cover stud used to secure the engine valve cover, or cam cover, to the cylinder head on 2018 through 2025 Ford F-150 applications, clamping the valve cover and its gasket to the head to maintain a sealed joint and providing a threaded mounting point for related hardware such as coil covers, brackets, or ground straps. It carries Ford part number JL3Z-00812-C and is the current service stud for this location. Technicians need this fastener when a valve cover is removed for a gasket replacement, spark plug or coil service, or when the original stud is stripped, corroded, or was lost during disassembly. Torque to yield style engine fasteners are designed to stretch to a precise clamp load and are treated as single use; this stud should be installed new and tightened to the Ford specified torque sequence and angle rather than reused, because a reused or over torqued fastener can lose clamp load and lead to a weeping valve cover gasket, an oil leak, or a stripped thread in the head. Using the correct genuine Ford stud ensures the proper thread pitch, length, and material strength for the aluminum cylinder head so the valve cover seals correctly and the clamp load stays consistent. Always follow the tightening pattern and specification for the specific engine and replace the gasket and any spark plug tube seals as needed while the cover is off. As a genuine Ford fastener it matches the original design intent for this sealing application.
