No, in fact, you can't even buy the o-rings separate from Ford AFAIK. They just sell the whole valve.
Any place that sells o-rings can fix you up. Viton is the preferred material, but Buna-N has been working for me for quite a while (over 1-1/2 yrs). For Viton o-rings, try
www.mcmaster.com or
www.oringsusa.com
[/ QUOTE ]Once I looked at the pics I saw instantly why the o rings are not sold separately. The rings serve as ball valve seats....so they are considered a part of the valve itself...Yeah, they also seal the valve body to the filter, but....
Now you see why it's is best to use viton...as they are seats, then they experience wear whenever you operate the valve, unlike a static seal.
