3.0L Ford Vulcan Engine

[shucker1]

Anyone know if they ever made a METAL Right Side Valve Cover for the 3.0 Liter Vulcan Engine?

We have my son's Taurus pulled down for a bad head gasket and we were thinking about powder coating the valve covers.

Left side is metal. No Problem.

Right side is plastic so I don't think it can be powder coated.

Thanks,
Chris

Yeah, the plastic won’t bake very well. Wonder why the releasing behind the two different materials.

What other reason in mass production.

Cut Cost.

Save $2.00 on 100K engines and it adds up.

Sure, but why the metal one?

Coil pack mounts there on top of the metal one. Also has the oil filler tube.
