I decided to go ahead and put on my painted 3v valve covers. Was waiting until the engine came out for the 5.4 swap but since I'm a couple months away from that, I went ahead and did the covers. Not too bad of a swap. Took about 1 hour for each side since it was my first time on the truck.

I used the older style 06 covers that have more bolt holes than the 08's. Fit perfectly. The head still has the bolt holes there to mate up to the older style cover just perfectly.

Makes me wonder why FORD didn't do it 'right' in the first place. [/SIZE]

They look like mine. Had my 08 Adrenalin in several car and truck shows and many good words on the Red Valve covers.

I like it! But my OCD is going nuts looking at the upside-down oil filler cap.

This is really funny to me being a dinosaur. Back in the olden days(60's and 70's) You wanted either aluminum valve covers or chrome valve covers to replace the factory painted stock valve covers. What's going on with you youngsters?

Chrome is available too.....Had them on my 2006 ROUSH.
Plan on doing th esame with my STA in the spring......but will be doing the Cams at the same time!

We're not all into chrome these days, I actually don't want any chrome on mine when it's done, well unless it's smoked chrome.
