I guess someone is stupid then, and one of them is me. After the wrong part came in again I decided to drive back out to the ford dealership and not leave until I found out the correct part name. Talked to someone different today than I did the other day. The part I am looking for is not a valve stem seal or a valve cover grommet (well sort of). It is called a valve cover isolator grommet. So after three days of dealing with this, talking to about 10 different people and making myself look like a f**king tool on the forums we have finally figured out what the correct name of the part is. And they are not cheap either. They run just over $10.00 per piece.

Stupid part names. If I were to name it, I'd call it a Valve Cover Stud Seal or Grommet...

Thanks for the info by the way.

Oh and one more thing, if anybody ever needs to replace these, heres the part #. It's ford part #6C519.

I called a ford service center the other day to get a labor quote (Just for laughs.) and the tech actually asked me what engine was in a 2003 mustang GT!!!

BTW if you're curious, a single head costs $910, an engine gasket kits costs $430 and labor is $1,004. LOL-HAHA!

And guarantee they'll not degree the cams correctly

Well at least I wasn't the only one dealing with a dumba** at a ford dealership. With prices like that, it pays to know what the heck you're doing under the hood. Those prices still look kind of steep, even without the labor.

kinda steep? Thats insane - no wonder the auto companies are going bankrupt.... f-ing crooks. ...
