2005 ford explorer valve cover gaskets Medium

[@georgespragg9372]

I struggled with the passenger side valve cover until I saw your video. I had it off in two minutes and worked for hours before I came across your video. Thanks for taking time to make it.

[@BJJohnson-so8li]

Thank you. Your video was good to watch not just for the information but also helped with confidence to get it done.

[@jakethewolfproductions8733]

Dude THANK YOU!! Your G.O.A.T.E.D!!!! I was worried I was going to have to drain the coolant because that how it was shown in other videos but then I found your video!! Made taking the valve cover out so much easier!

[@cademmo]

Thanks for the video brother. Fixing to start on one this morning on a exploder for my teenage son to drive. 270k miles and besides the rear steering spindles this is the first big job on it. I can’t really complain because it’s been one heck of a vehicle to last this long with no major issues besides this stupid valve cover leaking. If it wasn’t leaking on the exhaust I’d probably just keep adding oil 😂😂

[@cademmo]

Yeah you wasn’t joking about that back bolt it definitely was not easy to get to. 😂😂

[@54egg]

Thanks for the video. I used my cell phone camera to help me see the back bolts on manifold (video record with light mode). In my case I left the EGR attached to the manifold when removing the manifold, but did remove the throttle body. I had the fun of doing the manifold install twice as a (new) manifold gasket slipped out of place, unnoticed until I fired the car up and it ran very poorly - joy.

Thank you bro for your time. You should gotten paid. You kept it real on the end. I got to do my wife explore now.

[@phuffduke]

Thanks for your work on this video. I did the same job on my 2006 explorer. Slightly different. But you were a big help. Thank you!

[@alexstevanovski6646]

Good job man! Thank you!. I am in the middle of doing this now. I still have to do the passenger side gasket..I was able to get the EGR Value off so I hope its a little easier

[@alexstevanovski6646]

It was not easier hahaa what a pain in the ass... Ford Engineers I swear

[@josephbenassi9697]

Appreciate your instruction, It answered my problem regarding that last intake bolt closest to the firewall had a hard time even finding it so yeah thanks again, very helpful indeed.!! 🙋‍♂️👍👍 "CHEERS"

[@Recovering_Californian]

How did you reach that last intake torx?? Can't even see it.

[@josephbenassi9697]

Straight up, i thought i had got them all but it wouldnt budge on that right hand side real pain in the a$$, its good to see Im not the only one dealing with this i started to question whether I was gonna find it.!!

[@dupree46]

While you was in did you replace the fuel rail sensor under the manifold? It would be a pain to have to pull that manifold back off after just doing the gaskets. Your sensor goes bad and it will randomly shut down your engine or have hard starts. Learned that the hard way! But you save $500 at the local shop with a diy! Great vid!

[@obxguy1]

Nice work Bro! Helps me out, I have to do this on my 04 explorer this week.

[@mayken6661]

How was it ?

[@marcb2231]

Thanks for video.. have a leak in the exact same place. Going too try over weekend.

[@vschaos]

I follows your video but mine starts but is rough and won’t stay started for more than few seconds. I have a hose that plugs to a valve of some sort on back side of manifold on driver side...can’t seem to find out where it plugs into

[@vschaos]

[@davelong6222]

Does the gasket come with those new bolts and gasket set up?

[@swagobill]

how many hours labor should a garage charge for this job?

[@jonedwards6055]

how long did it take you?

[@edwinmedalle6545]

Where can we buy valve cover gasket ford explorer 2001 in the Philippines and how much is the selling price?

[@natedubb9401]

@2:44 was there any fluid in the hose?

[@Tuespecialistabilingue]

I did this but my car now accelerates on its own. What could be the issue?

[@josephbenassi9697]

Check your throttle body and cables they could be hung up on something Plan B would be to call ghost busters it could be Mr. Ford himself frustrated with all the jokes people make up about his Fords.!! "CHEERS"

I have to do driver side valve cover gasket bad leak at rear of cover bad leak is that normal Jack

[@manueljuarbe3780]

good job my brother 🙏

[@lajack5273]

Thanks for the update

[@paulhartmann6473]

How the hell did you get that 8 intake bolt out

[@Recovering_Californian]

That's what I need to know. I'm fixing to put a camera behind there and use it to guide my racket extension (and maybe a swivel) to get at it.

[@paulhartmann6473]

Well I got it out. Feel your way behind it and line up with the ones you can see through the manifold. Wasn't that bad and did not need a swivel.

[@angelsolano5792]

I laid across the engine, forehead against the the windshield part of the engine bay. Flashlight aimed at the bolt, my phone slightly offset and used the socket, an extension, and adapter for more length and the smallest socket wrench I had. Tap the socket on there good when you have the wrench part off, hold it still and firm then put the wrench on and twist strongly and slowly.

I have a 2002 Explorer XLT 4 wheel drive V6 4.0 L FYI I didn't know that the Ford trucks trouble codes can b ckd on the dash at odometer at digital gauge. You can ck fuel pressure, idiot bulbs on dash, etc. And u can clear codes drive the normal 20-30 miles to see if you get anymore codes.

[@dendriller]

Thank you!!!!!!!

This was helpful

[@FrankPerez-uf3uc]

Why you skip the part when you actually do the job

[@nickwild1627]

How long did it take you to do that

[@louisneblett7975]

I took my time, two days. Couple hours each day.

[@williamgiles1115]

Can someone please tell me where I can buy the hose that comes out at 2:12 I can’t find it online and my hose is pinching

[@ThatManDWill]

Evap core hose

[@larrydrozd2740]

Biggest issue with this job is if the wiring harness is cooked and brittle. You HAVE to replace it, which means taking the intake back off.

[@thedobermangang3503]

good video my brother
