I have a 2012 (delivered in Dec 2011) and it has magnesium valve covers. They must have switched in early 2012 to the plastic.

I just looked at my 2012 and they're black (delivered Dec 12th 2011)
Little Dirty but you get the idea:

Maybe they had to cut cost for materials to compansate with the other add ons? Like select shift or the 4.2 inch lcd screen, and the front lsd.

I can not believe Ford would put plastic valve covers on this engine. What gives? $50k For plastic, geeze. :crazy:

My 2012 had the black plastic ones but I installed these. They cost too much but they match my truck. :hail:

So who knows why they really made the switch?

Where did you order those cam covers? All the cam covers I've found look like a lighter blue then that. FORD RACING 6.2L SVT RAPTOR CAM COVERS M-6582-62BL | eBay
