---tab Description--- 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. Fitments 2008–2010 Ford F-250/F-350/F-450/F-550 6.4L Powerstroke 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.

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....
