• Description:

  Genuine Ford engine valve cover grommet 7T4Z-6C519-C, cataloged by Ford as Engine Valve Cover Grommet and also listed under the names Engine Valve Cover Stud, Valve Cover Stud, Stud and Grommet. Ford catalog notes state that the part includes the stud and that it is also included with a new valve cover, and the listed positions are right and left, so it serves either cylinder bank. The verified application is the 3.5L without turbocharger and the 3.7L V6 engine family used across a wide span of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles from the late 2000s forward, including Edge, Explorer, Flex, Fusion and Taurus and their Lincoln counterparts. This number supersedes 7T4Z-6C519-A. The grommet is the rubber isolator that surrounds a valve cover fastener, letting the stud clamp the cover down without crushing the plastic while damping engine vibration, and it also seals the fastener hole so oil cannot weep past the bolt boss. The rubber hardens and takes a permanent set from underhood heat, after which the cover no longer seals evenly along the rail. Typical symptoms are oil seeping around individual valve cover fasteners, oil dripping onto the exhaust manifold or heat shields and producing a burning smell, an oily film collecting on top of the engine near the cover rail, and a cover that continues to leak after a gasket replacement because the original grommets were reused. Replace these isolators whenever the valve cover comes off, clean the sealing rails carefully, and tighten the fasteners in the factory sequence to the published specification so the molded cover is not distorted or cracked.
