Riffraff Diesel Billet Engine Front Cover 7.3L 1994-2003 Powerstroke

The Engine Front Cover Ford Never Built
The engine front cover is a critical part of the 7.3L Power Stroke oiling and accessory systems. After years of repairing damaged factory covers, we set out to eliminate the weaknesses commonly found in the original cast-aluminum design.

The Riffraff Diesel Billet Engine Front Cover is precision CNC machined in the USA from a solid block of USA sourced 6061-T6 aluminum. It was engineered for greater strength, improved serviceability, and long-term durability—not simply copied from the factory casting.

Why Upgrade?
High-mileage factory front covers can suffer from:

• Stripped or damaged aluminum threads
• Worn or damaged sealing surfaces
• Cracked mounting locations
• LPOP Gear damage

Our billet cover provides a permanent, premium replacement for stock rebuilds, tow rigs, work trucks, and high-performance engine builds.

Engineered by Riffraff Diesel
Every area of the factory cover was evaluated for potential improvement. The result is a purpose-built upgrade featuring:

• Domestic 6061-T6 billet-aluminum construction
• Precision CNC-machined sealing surfaces and bores
• Stainless steel thread inserts at critical fastener locations
• Refined internal oil passages
• Accepts the screened reservoir gasket
• Direct compatibility with factory components
• Designed, engineered, and manufactured in-house in the USA

Built for Repeated Service
Damaged threads are one of the most common problems encountered with original aluminum front covers. Critical threaded locations in our cover use installed stainless steel inserts for increased durability, reliable clamping, and improved serviceability throughout the life of the engine.

Precision-Machined Oil Passages
Rather than relying on the dimensional variation of a casting, the internal passages are CNC machined for consistent size, alignment, and finish while maintaining compatibility with the factory 7.3L oiling system.

Watch It Being Made
See the manufacturing process in the Videos tab, where the cover is machined from raw billet into the completed component.

Fitment:

• 1994–1997 Ford 7.3L Power Stroke
• Early 1999 Ford 7.3L Power Stroke
• 1999.5–2003 Ford 7.3L Power Stroke

This is not simply a billet copy of the factory cover. It is a stronger, more durable and more serviceable front cover engineered specifically for the long-term future of your 7.3L Power Stroke.
