VCT Solenoid ????

I've searched and read for hours.............. seems many have replaced these....... I found 1 place where 1 person mentioned
Dorman #917200 Dorman #917200
.
I found them at Rockauto and Amazon.

Is there a Motocraft part??
(if there is I can't find it)

I also read where this VCT solenoid has been redesigned from the original.

So.... what is the redesign part #???

Is it a motorcraft part that is redesigned??
Is the Dorman #917200 a redesigned part??

Thanks for any info!!!!!!!!

I found my answer thanks to some help here..........

For others that may find this, here ya go.......

VCT Solenoid part # = 8L3Z-6M280-B
Gasket part # = 3L3Z-6C535-AA

I did not locate at rockauto or other parts suppliers..... I ordered from Tasca parts.

This is the redesigned VCT Solenoid that has become available the past few years.

Hope this helps someone!!!

I had posted a thread about my VCT solenoid replacement on another F150 forum this past weekend but here is some pics of my old and new Solenoids as I replaced them. Also a before and after video of the difference they made for me......
