5.5gen FRONT Valve Cover Q

Hi guys, we all know the rear valve cover leaks and requires a 6th gen cover and gasket, but do many of you guys have front valve cover leakage too?

If so, for the front, is it better to buy the 6th gen cover for our 2002-2003s also just like for the rear?

Thx! Got over 210,000 miles on mine and she keeps on going.

I've not heard of any issues with the front cover other than normal leakage when the gasket gets old.

Over 220,000 on mine with one gasket change on the front and it's bone dry. I've got the 6th gen rear too with no leaks.

I'm not 100% sure but I think the parts were updated so there's one rear cover for all of them now.
