[QUOTE="Fastback89, post: 1780412, member: 29484"] My Raptor is a late build 18 and was bought new. Recently I decided to replace the spark plugs with the 542's that I've had for at least 2 years. This is a low miles truck with only 22000 on the clock, so first time the engine cover was removed and of coarse I was shocked to see the puddle of oil on the driver's side valve cover. I have already read many times about valve covers cracking so the next problem was finding one. All of my local dealers informed me about the serious back order on the cover so I found one on Ebay at a dealer in CA. A week later I installed the new part and did the plugs. Truck seems to run better, and after careful inspection of the old valve cover all I see is the gasket is pushed away where the intake port passes through. I'm surprised it didn't use any oil as it could be an easy path for an internal blow by leak and not external like mine was doing. I really hope it doesn't happen again as I could not get the latest G part number valve cover due to supply issues. Time will tell... [/QUOTE]
