Detailed Description

Victor Reinz 15-10496-01 is an engine valve cover gasket set engineered to seal oil and oil spray at the valve cover while standing up to elevated underhood temperatures. The molded rubber on plastic core design helps maintain gasket shape and sealing integrity, and the construction is intended to reduce the risk of over-torquing and splitting when installed correctly. This part cross-references MAHLE VS50395 and VS50895R for the same application. It is a direct-fit sealing solution for Ford E-350 Super Duty, Ford F-250 Super Duty, Ford F-350 Super Duty, Ford E-350 Club Wagon, and Ford Excursion applications listed below.

Installation Notes and Tips

Clean the valve cover and cylinder-head sealing surfaces thoroughly before installation. Inspect the cover for warpage, cracks, or damaged sealing lands, and replace any worn grommets or breather seals required by the application. Follow the manufacturer torque sequence and torque specification for the valve cover fasteners to help prevent gasket distortion.
