The cam girdle uses a sealant between the bottom of girdle and top of head, so item # 35 or 36, tubes shown in diagram.


Like this sealant in the link, BUT be sure which sealant is for your specific V10 engine, call the dealer for the proper item.

I take you are looking for numbers 13 and 14 as shown in the upper diagram as previously posted, may I ask why you are not calling the dealership for these ?

Also just a FYI, the "Cam Cradle" is not a gasket, it is an aluminum girdle to hold the intake and exhaust cams in place...
