Billet Aluminum Valve Cover for 2008-2010 Ford F250 F350 F450 F550 6.4L Powerstroke | SPELAB

Description

The 6.4L Powerstroke is capable of making massive horsepower, but pushing extreme boost and heavy fuel means the factory plastic valve covers become a severe weak point. Under high heat and cylinder pressures, OEM covers are notorious for flexing, warping, and blowing out seals.

Enter the SPELAB Competition Spec Billet Valve Cover. CNC-machined from a solid block of aerospace-grade aluminum, this cover provides bulletproof rigidity and heat dissipation for high-horsepower builds, drag trucks, and dedicated sled pullers.

The "Clean-Bay" Competition Profile:
We engineered these covers for the hardcore builder. Featuring a streamlined, "shaved" profile, this kit is specifically designed for custom setups. It eliminates the bulky factory passenger-side CCV box and assumes a custom glow plug harness route (or competition glow plug delete). The result is an ultra-clean, show-stopping engine bay and the flexibility to run a high-performance external catch can system.

Key Features

• T6061 Billet Aluminum Construction:
  Precision CNC-machined to ensure absolute flatness. Benefit: Delivers an unbreakable seal against the cylinder head, completely eliminating the oil leaks associated with warped factory plastic covers under high boost.

• Competition "Shaved" Aesthetics:
  Designed without the restrictive factory wire-harness channels. Benefit: Perfect for race trucks, show builds, and custom wiring setups, giving your 6.4L that aggressive, clutter-free look.

• External Catch Can Ready:
  By removing the restrictive factory passenger-side CCV system, this cover allows you to properly route crankcase pressure. Benefit: Plumb directly into a high-flow external catch can to keep oil mist out of your turbo and intercooler piping.

• Superior Heat Dissipation:
  Solid aluminum acts as a massive heat sink, drawing destructive temperatures away from your valvetrain far better than OEM plastic.

• Show-Quality Anodized Finish:
  Available in deep Black, striking Red, or classic Silver to perfectly match your build's color scheme.

FAQs

Q: Why do I need an external oil catch can with this cover?
A: The factory 6.4L CCV system routes oily crankcase gases directly back into your intake, which coats your turbo and intercooler in sludge. Our competition-style cover eliminates the factory CCV housing, allowing you to run a proper external catch can to keep your intake tract 100% clean and maximize power.

Q: How does the "shaved" design affect my glow plug harness?
A: To create an ultra-clean, show-ready engine bay, we removed the bulky factory harness mounting channels. This cover is ideal for race trucks that have deleted the glow plugs, or builders who prefer to custom-route their wiring harnesses out of sight.

Q: Will this fix the oil leaks on my 6.4L?
A: Yes. The primary cause of 6.4L valve cover leaks is the factory plastic warping under heat. Our rigid billet aluminum construction ensures the gasket surface stays perfectly flat, providing a permanent, leak-free seal.

Q: What finishes are available?
A: We offer premium anodized finishes in Black, Red, and Silver. These finishes are highly resistant to under-hood chemicals, oil, and corrosion.
