Guys I'm in need of Valve Cover bolt hole grommets for my 04 GT, having a hard time finding any, besides the dealership (stealership) needing all 21 of them, and at 8 bucks a piece at dealership will be about 200 bucks. Anyone out there have a set laying around. here's a crappy pic below of the piece.



thanks.

I had the same problem with my grommets last year, they had oil coming out of them so I had to find new ones. Spending that much at the dealership wasnt going to happen so I ended up going to a salvage yard, found an old crown vic and took them off of that. Thats probably what you're going to have to do in order to replace your bad ones.

Thanks for the link but that's just the rubber grommets that goes over this plastic piece

 

Gotcha
The rubber grommets is what wore out on my valve covers, not the plastic section

 

I might have some laying around, btw I got mine from the dealer two winters ago and for 8 bucks they came in packs of 3 or 4 (4v engine not sure if there different but mine are metal and rubber and the replacement from ford had gray rubber instead of black and only came with the rubber peice). I had a bad bad expereince with them lol, one was leaking last year and when I went to torque the valve cover bolt i did 55 foot pounds instead of inch pounds, and I knew something wasnt right tightening it considering I just had the valve covers off last year but I was pissed off and in a rush and i snapped a bolt in the top cam plate hahahahha. Luckily with a sharpened screwdriver and a hammer I was able to get it out.

 

how did you manage to need to replace all the sleeve for all the bolts? It's usually the rubber grommet where oil leaks from. You might have to go to a junk yard and get the entire set and just put new grommets on them

 

I found a used set from prestigemustang.com in Georga. for 50 bucks shipped. I just recently rebuilt the motor and can for the life of me find these things, it's my own fault, must have gotten tossed out with the old VC gasket. I realized they were not there when i took the car to get dyno tuned and with the added boost pressure it was pushing oil out the valve cover bolt holes...
