Detailed Description

Use the Apex AVC1183 when servicing lower valve cover sealing on compatible Ford trucks and vans. This gasket set is listed for 2003-2010 Ford applications including the F-250 Super Duty, F-350 Super Duty, E-350 Super Duty, E-350 Club Wagon, and Excursion, making it a practical choice for maintenance on these engines.

Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly before installation and inspect the valve cover and cylinder head sealing surfaces for damage or warpage.
