Dorman - OE Solutions Engine Valve Cover P/N:264-497
Dorman 264-988 right valve cover for the 2004-2010 Ford Explorer V6 4.0L and other vehicles covers the valvetrain and holds engine oil in. This Dorman valve cover is a direct replacement for the original in fit and function.
A cracked or warped engine valve cover can show up as oil seepage along its edge. Before you replace it, rule out other oil sources on the engine, since oil from a leak higher up can run down and look like a cover leak.
This Ford Explorer valve cover for 2004-2010 V6 4.0L engines is listed for a wide range of Ford and Mercury models, including the 2004-2011 Ford Ranger V6 4.0L and the 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac V6 4.0L. Open the "Vehicles it fits" section to check your exact model and engine. This listing is one right-side cover; the 2004-2010 Ford Explorer V6 4.0L takes one on this side, and the other side is ordered separately.
