Engineered specifically for 2017 through 2019 Ford F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 Super Duty trucks powered by the 6.7L Powerstroke V8 turbo diesel engine, the Genuine Ford Front Engine Timing Cover Assembly (Part # HC3Z-6019-A) provides an all-inclusive solution for catastrophic front engine failures, severe oil leaks, and cooling system cavitation. In the 6.7L Powerstroke engine architecture, the front timing cover serves as a critical structural component housing the camshaft drive gears, the high-pressure engine lubrication oil pump (gerotor gear assembly), and the internal coolant volutes for the primary cooling system.

Over severe operating hours, high-mileage 6.7L engines suffer from coolant cavitation that erodes the cast-aluminum water pump backing cavity. This erosion eats into the timing cover structure and can lead to internal cross-contamination between engine oil and coolant. Furthermore, high engine hours or debris contamination can score the internal oil pump cavity, resulting in hot-idle low oil pressure warnings. Sourcing individual internal components, re-machining scored pump pockets, and pressing in new seals is time-consuming and prone to premature failure. The genuine Ford HC3Z-6019-A replaces the entire front case assembly with pre-installed internal oil pump gears, a factory-mounted primary mechanical water pump, and a front crankshaft seal, cutting down technician bench time and guaranteeing factory oil pressure and coolant circulation with zero core charge.

Key Features & Benefits

• Genuine Ford OEM Factory-Assembled Unit: Built and assembled to Ford factory specifications for exact dimensional alignment against the cylinder block and oil pan rail.
• Pre-Installed Engine Oil Pump Assembly: Includes brand-new internal oil pump gerotor gears and pressure relief valve to restore factory lube oil volume and pressure.
• Includes Primary Mechanical Water Pump: Comes equipped with a brand-new, factory-mounted primary engine water pump assembly (HC3Z-8501-A / PW-571) with pre-pressed pulley.
• Cures Timing Case Cavitation Erosion: Eliminates coolant-to-oil cross contamination caused by coolant impeller cavitation pitting through the aluminum housing.
• Pre-Installed Front Crankshaft Seal: Includes a factory front crankshaft main seal pre-installed in the housing to prevent front main oil seepage.
• Saves Hours of Shop Assembly Time: Arrives as a unified sub-assembly, removing the need to align and torque internal oil pump plates and water pump housings on the bench.
• Zero Core Charge: Sold outright as brand-new genuine Ford hardware with no core charge and no core return required.

• Fits Model Years: 2017, 2018, 2019
• Year Split Notice: Engineered specifically for the revised 2017–2019 6.7L engine block casting and accessory mounting layout. (For 2011–2016 models, use SKU BC3Z-6019-B; for 2020+ third-gen engines, verify part number LC3Z-6019-A due to updated lower crankcase and oil pan rail profiles).
• Installation Prerequisites: Installing the front cover requires dropping the upper and lower engine oil pans and removing the harmonic balancer and accessory drive belt assemblies.
• Installation Tip: Clean the front cylinder block sealing surface and bedplate joint thoroughly. Use Ford Motorcraft Ultra Silicone RTV (TA-357) along the block and oil pan junction corners. Pre-lube the internal oil pump gerotor gears with clean diesel engine oil or assembly lube before final installation to ensure instantaneous oil pressure build upon initial startup. Prime the primary cooling system using vacuum fill equipment with Motorcraft Yellow Antifreeze/Coolant (WSS-M97B57-A2).
