MAHLE VS50329 valve cover gasket for the 2003 Ford E-350 Club Wagon V8 7.3L and other vehicles seals the joint between the valve cover and the cylinder head. It keeps engine oil inside the engine at that joint.
Oil seepage along the edge of the valve cover, a burning-oil smell or an oil film on the cover can mean the gasket is worn, though loose valve cover bolts or a faulty PCV valve can be behind the same signs. This listing is one gasket, and both gaskets are normally replaced together.
The vehicles it fits include the 2003 Ford E-350 Club Wagon V8 7.3L, the 1999-2003 Ford E-350 Super Duty V8 7.3L and the 2003 Ford E-450 Super Duty V8 7.3L, and the V8 7.3L engine takes two gaskets. If your vehicle is not named here, look up its year and model in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
