2012-2018 Ford Focus Valve Cover Gasket Replacement How-To

In this video I show you how to replace the valve cover gasket along with VVT solenoid gaskets on the 2012-2018 Ford Focus. Gasket set was purchased from Amazon and I will provide a link below.

Thanks for showing the torque pattern on the bolts. Most videos just fast forward through that

[@bajothesparky2445]

What about the 1S7Z-6584-BA do you think will fit because on amazon said that won't fit..? Great video

[@dustinj7028]

The grommets for the Vvt are a pain. I really hate working on fords

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Yeah especially when they are the originals and are all hard and dried out.

@@BLUECOLLARGARAGEDid you replace yours off camera? Or did I completely miss it

[@SERGIOMARTINEZ-tf6mb]

Thank you for this video! Would this fix oil on the spark plugs issue or is that something completely different?

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Is the oil on the electrode itself or is it on the ceramic insulator where the coil clicks on?

I did this job on a 2015 Ford Focus yesterday ( 6-6-24) i changed the valves cover. The lady i did the job for had already bought the valve cover and gasket set. When i looked at the cover it already had the gaskets installed, and the seals. She took it to a Ford dealership. They wanted $600 . They also said it would take 3 hours. It took me 3 hours, but I spent an hour (almost) to clean the battery terminals/posts. I think Ford was wanting to charge more hours. It looked a little more difficult than it was. A great job sir. Very helpful, and informative. 😊

I like how you are explaining everything in detail. Tha ks for the video. I'm changing a frineds soon

[@mahmoudalgarhy7889]

You're the man, Thank you for this detailed explanation

[@SoVeryGrim]

I've got an issue where my middle 2 sparkplugs have oil on them. Would this fix it potentially?

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Yes most likely because the square gasket that is included in the kit helps keep oil out of the middle for cylinder 2 and 3 spark plugs.

Thanks Dude

[@christianalejandroflores8501]

is the process similar in a Ford Fusion 2016?

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Yes it will be almost the same process.

[@imaginehavinfun2708]

Awesome video. Feel confident to tackle this project. Thank you for the detailed video.

[@ChristianGalt]

Best video out there for this repair, much appreciated 👌

[@Empire300s]

was this done w oil in the motor or was oil drained ?

[@jasondillon2567]

08:00 Bro, I did this job yesterday and getting it loose from those solenoids literally took more than an hour due to rust. Great video!

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Yeah it’s not the easiest as you saw on mine there were also somewhat seized due to rust and corrosion.

[@jasondillon2567]

@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE For sure! I thank God though I don't have to do the job a second time. After a long drive I checked the whole perimeter of the valve cover and pulled the plug coils; all dry.

[@ethanplooster9986]

@@jasondillon2567i had this same issue, except the new seals i got were bad and completely tore the next day. unfortunately had to do it again haha

[@jasondillon2567]

@@ethanplooster9986 Dang, that really sucks! After watching multiple videos I opted to add some motor oil to them before replacing the cover and it definitely helped it slide back on better. Glad you were able to get it fixed though!
