Does it butt up against the valve cover? looks like a good idea! What about longevity doing it that way? has anyone had any problems with the vibration or pieces falling off?
@hhojunkie85 I doubt that the Ford designers put that there in the first place so why would that be a good idea? Surely the guys at ford have a better way of fixing this problem than putting a quarter in the valve-train area. Like he said, a shim from Ford. Probably a better idea....
you can fix this with a section of a Zip tie instead of using a quarter. or you can use the clip kit that ford produces. if you want i can get you the part number from y dealership
Which forum?

i have a '02 7.3 had the same problem.
ford wanted 1100 bucks to fix this designed flaw.
and they wanted 20 bucks for 2 pieces of plastic that probably cost less than 5 cents to make 100.
i found this same solution and took 50 cents and 4 hours of my time and worked flawlessly.
i fully vouch that this IS the best solution.
my truck has 256000 miles and is running strong,hopefully i can get a million miles out of my truck. GREAT VIDEO

great video, I dont think the quarter will come back out once the valve cover is installed!

@jessemc2 Correct, it hasn't backed out in 2 years and i don't expect it to, unless the quarter miraculously chips its way through a valve cover. :)

@kamilnj21 The quarter cannot pop out once the valve cover is installed.
