Appreciate this video. I'd noticed a burning oil smell while idling for the last week or so but didn't really pay attention until today. Opened up the hood and oil leaking everywhere from the cover. Seal change looks like it'll be super easy, barely an inconvenience

Good video. I am having trouble getting the ventilation tube off, everything else is ready to lift off. Thought there might be a special tool but looked like you just grabbed it with your left hand and gently yanked it off, maybe twisted it a bit, I couldn't really tell.

What is that plug between coils two and three? At first i thought it was the cam position sensor but looks like that's on the end. So what is that thing?

Still hit the ‘like’ for support but the one thing I wanted to see was the actual Valve Cover replacement & you didn’t show it. But the video was well made & confirmed my questioning on the process. Thanks!
@yyiii2764 жыл бұрын
Ummm....this is the replacement of the "valve cover gasket". That means the valve cover was removed to replace the gasket. You are correct he did not replace the valve cover, but he removed it so that is how to replace the cover also.

Good video. If VC gasket goes bad I'll replace it thanks to your video, but I use quality oil and so far no VC leaks. What's the sensor/value called that's on the valve cover to the left of the of 1st spark plug? My valve cover isn't leaking but this is, can't find the name of it.

How do you take that center connector with the rubber boot out? It’s in the middle of the coils. Is there like a twist and pull? I’m worried it could break and I’d be screwed

I did this today. (Thanks for the great video!!) In the process of putting everything back together, I broke one of the threaded receivers (embedded in the "plastic") that receives the bolt that holds down the ignition coils. The integrity of the valve cover/seal has not been compromised... it just broke off the threaded receiver. (Hope that makes sense) Any suggestion on an adhesive to fix this? What would you do? Should I replace the whole valve over (about $100)? Thanks!

on my professional side id say replace the whole cover ebay has the best prices on the other hand id just not even bolt the coil down those boots hold pretty snugg

have a 2009 fusion 2.3 that has started jerking from a stop. Once it jets going it is ok. there is a little oil on the plug threads and on the electrode. Could that be the cause. I replaced the plugs. Or could oil leaking into the chamber or maybe a plugged injector/bad/weak coil? No fault codes. thanks....

sounds like you need a tuneup or coil

i plug the wire from spark plug while someone power brakes the car if the motor rpms change then that cylinder is good if it stays the same then that cylinder is your issue next you will check to see if your getting spark from that wire by puttung a spark plug that you know is good in it and looking at the end it should be bright and visible not dull if it has weekspark that will cause the same issue

And according to Ford... The gasket they supply is called a (Permadry Molding Gasket) which doesnt require sealant. Aftermarket gaskets may require sealant. Which... Isn't recommended by Ford.

Cheap oil (I think not) but more likely a tech like you who willynilly tightens bolts up with a power drill with no consideration for torque values. Exactly why I would never let a “shop” touch my vehicles.

do you know what a oils flash point is all oils have a different flash point maybe a uneducated person like you is the reason why i do more gaskets then oil changes
@tg81506 жыл бұрын
ugly HP the simple fact that you, for all the world to see, install a valve cover gasket without using a torque wrench discounts anything you have to say about anything mechanical. Gaskets leak due to age, heat, and over tightening/under tightening. Use a torque wrench next time. Hopefully you know what one is and how to use it. Your customers will appreciate it.

ugly HP what’s oil thickness got to do with anything? This is about removing the cover that you retightened with a drill using no torque values. You’re a jiffy lube amateur. 👏🏻
@tg81506 жыл бұрын
ugly HP the fact that you continue to argue and discount the relevance of something as important as torque values when installing a gasket says a lot about your intelligence. Your oil flash point argument isn’t selling but your promotion potential at jiffy lube seems right on track. Keep arguing though as it’s your face and lack of intellect for the world to see. 👍🏻
