That shared engine architecture is why one pair of valve covers, cross-referenced to the same OE numbers, fits vehicles across four different nameplates and two brands instead of needing a separate part for each one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross-referenced to OE numbers BL3Z-6582-H (left) and DL3Z-6582-C (right)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCast aluminum construction matching factory design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGaskets included with each cover, ready to install\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as a left and right pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft cover OE number: BL3Z-6582-H, BL3Z6582H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight cover OE number: DL3Z-6582-C, DL3Z6582C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Cast aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Left and right valve covers with gaskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits the 2013-2016 Ford F-150, 2015-2022 Ford Transit-150\/250\/350 and Transit-350 HD, and 2015-2017 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator, all with the 3.5L EcoBoost V6. Because Ford used more than one V6 displacement across these model lines during overlapping years, it's worth confirming your specific vehicle has the 3.5L EcoBoost engine before ordering, particularly by checking the engine code on your door jamb sticker or against your owner's manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSigns Your Valve Cover Needs Replacing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA failing valve cover on these EcoBoost engines typically shows up as an oil leak visible along the top or sides of the engine, a burning oil smell from oil dripping onto hot exhaust components, or visible cracking and warping in the cover itself from years of heat cycling. Because the valve cover gasket also seals the coil-on-plug openings on some of these engines, a failing gasket can sometimes show up as a misfire caused by oil contaminating the ignition coils rather than just an external leak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Replace the Complete Cover Rather Than Just the Gasket\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile a valve cover leak is sometimes just a hardened or improperly seated gasket, a cover that has already warped from heat or developed a crack won't seal properly even with a brand-new gasket installed on it. Replacing the complete cover with a new gasket included removes that guesswork and ensures the sealing surface is flat and true, rather than spending labor twice if a gasket-only repair doesn't resolve the leak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplacing a valve cover on this engine means removing the engine's plastic cover, disconnecting the ignition coil wiring and any breather or PCV hoses attached to the valve cover, and unbolting the cover in the sequence specified for your engine to avoid warping the new part. Torquing the valve cover bolts to factory spec in the correct pattern is important, since overtightening cast aluminum covers can crack them or damage the sealing surface, undoing the benefit of installing a new part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOrdering Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Ford and Lincoln valve cover set is in stock and ships ready to install.
