Fel‑Pro valve cover gasket set for Ford V8 — VS 50687 R (cork‑rubber, complete kit)

Fel-Pro VS 50687 R is a complete valve cover gasket set engineered to restore a reliable, oil-tight seal on compatible Ford V8 engines.

If your Ford F-150, Expedition, Explorer or Super Duty is showing oil seepage around the valve covers, this Fel-Pro gasket set supplies the vehicle-specific parts and materials designed to fit the factory sealing surfaces and compensate for real-world imperfections. Fel-Pro manufactures these sets with a proprietary cork-rubber compound and includes all required components for a typical valve cover replacement so you can avoid repeated leaks and unnecessary rework.

Will this gasket set fit my Ford model and engine?

Compatibility covers many Ford late-model trucks and SUVs, but you should verify fitment for your exact year, engine and trim before ordering. Fel-Pro lists specific application years, and online fitment tools can confirm whether VS 50687 R matches your VIN or engine code.

• Fits select 2007–2014 Ford Expedition and 2007–2010 Ford F-150 applications
• Includes sets used on Explorer, Sport Trac, Mustang and certain Super Duty engines
• Always check vehicle year, make, model and engine against the seller’s confirmed-fit tool

How does the gasket design handle imperfect sealing surfaces?

The set uses a proprietary cork-rubber formulation that remains conformable to irregularities, helping form an effective seal even when mating surfaces show minor wear or machining variances. That flexibility reduces the chance of oil migration compared with brittle or hard gasket materials.

• Cork-rubber compound conforms to surface irregularities for improved sealing
• Designed specifically for repair environments where surfaces may not be factory-new
• Material resists common engine oils and typical under-hood temperatures

What comes in the Fel-Pro VS 50687 R kit and why does that matter?

Fel-Pro supplies a complete valve cover gasket set intended to include all necessary sealing components for the repair, minimizing the need to source extra parts. Having a comprehensive kit reduces project time and the risk of missing small seals during installation.

• Complete set typically includes both valve cover gaskets and any required small seals or O-rings
• Sold as a repair-ready kit to simplify installation and parts management
• Tested on-vehicle to validate fit and function before release

How should I confirm compatibility and prepare for installation?

Before purchase, use the seller’s vehicle fitment checker and review any posted qualifier notes. Prepare the mating surfaces by cleaning old gasket material and oil residue, and replace fasteners or grommets if they are damaged to ensure a long-lasting seal.

• Enter vehicle details into the confirmed-fit tool to verify match
• Clean sealing surfaces thoroughly and inspect for warpage or damage
• Replace worn bolts, seals, or grommets during the job for reliable results

Who this is for: technicians, DIY enthusiasts and fleet managers working on compatible Ford engines who need a purpose-built valve cover gasket set that compensates for worn sealing surfaces and includes the parts required to complete the repair. If you value a tested, vehicle-specific gasket solution that reduces repeat leaks and streamlines installation, Fel-Pro VS 50687 R is designed for that application.
