You need to get the gasket that matches up with that cover. The gasket has the 2 little half circles in the gasket. The stock zetec manifold has the half circles as part of the valve cover and the gasket follows along the edge.

I've got the exact same valve cover sitting in my moms garage, just never installed it before I sold my focus.
