2005 Mazda Tribute / Ford Escape 3.0L V6 Valve Cover Gaskets replacement.

[@richardtidd2738]

Thank you, this is a $500 ++ job at your local garage or dealer and you saved me a ton of money. Ebay parts are cheap and your excellent video and instructions are perfect for us weekend warriors. Thanks again.

Great video! I'm about to tackle this job. You've given me more confidence.

[@trenttwamley8312]

Great video.. Getting ready to start mine.. this engine has a common problem of the cam cap bolts coming loose… Always verify torque on them while you have the cover off… Just a suggestion for folks…

Question: what's the reason for the RTV on those places only when you have a brand new gasket?...at 40:30

[@737mechanic]

Thats where the seam is at where the front and rear cover meets with the head. Sometimes they are very slightly mismatched so a dab of RTV helps guarantee that it doesn't leak.

[@mr.z541]

@@737mechanic . Thankyou for the quick reply. 👍

[@MOONbrokenbranch]

Yes it does

[@MOONbrokenbranch]

I have a 2002 Mazda tribute and iv been a Tech 40 years and its my mazda Nightmare doing the rear cover but did you clean out the oil from the spark plugs????

[@737mechanic]

Yes. Always clean the oil out.
