Obsolete parts from Ford?

[Bradley G]

I am having trouble getting OEM Ford parts from my dealer.
The timing chain cover gasket, the Oil pick-up tube and the cam cover gaskets.
My guy said he could probably still put his hands on some from other dealers but his screen was showing Part ordering status ; obsolete

Did you try a search for Mach-1 or Aviator? Let me put a feeler out see what my guy can get.

I went Fel-Pro for the aforementioned gaskets.

Check engine rebuild shops. Or try Lidio at alternative auto. Just a thought...

Had the same problem recently when dealer saying same thing for the fuel pressure regulator I needed--parts guy said ==its 10yrs old--don't make parts for it no more!! I thought whats a guy to do--so I first looked it up on RockAuto--Phoof--new part in shipped in two days---just one of many places to look for stuff like those ^above have said too.......

Turns out everything was available after some research.
I went RockAuto for all the gaskets and saved a few dollars . I did order "Best" of each part, given a choice of Good , better , best.
If the higher price means better quality I don't mind paying more.
Thanks for the discount code saved me a few more bucks.

Pick up tube is Marauder only and yes it's obsolete. But valve cover gaskets, spark plug seals and front cover gasket are available. $125-$130 shipped.

What Marauder specific parts aren't discontinued? Now that is the question.
