DIY Ford 2.0L EcoBoost Engine Valve Cover Gasket and Vacuum pump Reseal - MKZ, Escape, Fusion

[@outdat3d-04zx10r-ha]

Had an oil leak on the side and front of valve cover on my ST and followed this guide(same rtv application points) and it’s all bone dry now! Great video thanks for the upload

[@Dobbs6651]

216,000 miles on my 2.0 ford explorer. I just replaced the spark plugs add notice there's oil on the middle two cylinder spark plug Wells. Naturally I came to this video thank you very much!!

[@nicknetwork9332]

Thank you for this video was trying to see how that vacuum pump looked before I tried taking it out.

[@victorwells3832]

2:43 what size is that bolt? 2014 Ford Escape 2.0 eco boost. Would it be the same bolt size?

[@DocLulzson]

And now I know where my oil leak is thanks!

[@jaydouglas7749]

Good vid Any torque specs?

[@Efbawm]

Is it possible to replace that vacuum pump gasket that you replaced with out pulling the valve cover?

[@marktessendorf4953]

2:43 how do you get this dang bolt out

[@brooksbeveridge2858]

How'd you end up getting it?

[@marktessendorf4953]

@@brooksbeveridge2858 I had to go to Lowe’s and get a longer 3/8 ratchet for more leverage. It was a pain

[@rudolfjez81]

Hi, very nicely done video and description. I have a 2014 Ford Galaxy 2.0 eco boost and I think it is a very similar engine, maybe exactly the same based on the electrical and piping setup. The oil leak is in the same places as in the video. I've been doing minor car repairs myself for a few years, but not the timing chain. It is complicated. But I should be able to handle this. Is it necessary to observe the direction and torque of the cover screws or is it not so important? Mostly they reached the moment of strength "as much as possible and carefully". Thanks and good luck. Sorry for the language, I'm just learning English, I'm from the Czech Republic.

[@andrewbrown5223]

Hey do you have any videos with the head gasket replacement this video is great

[@fullcend-tkm73]

I don't have any videos with the head gasket replacement on this channel but I do have videos on my Automotive Channel where I am actually doing my first 1.5 L ecoboost engine now but it's a whole long Block it's not the cylinder head

[@demirci5786]

Really good job. It helps a lot also for my 2013 Jaguar XF 2.0 Petrol as well, since it has exactly the same engine except the fact that it stays 90 degree counterclock vise inside the engine bay :) . Thanks a lot again dud. Congrats...

[@fullcend-tkm73]

Thanks I appreciate it, I'm glad it helped

[@stephonjordan4524]

I have this exact same engine 2016 Lincoln MKZ, error code P0236. Do you have any knowledge about this error?

[@BabyJesus1987]

what size is that damn bracket bolt?

[@technicalities341]

Good job good tips and good video 😎👍🏼

[@fullcend-tkm73]

thank you

[@Bacongrease00]

I broke the dipstick handle off in my wifes 2013 escape 2.0 ecoboost. Looks like ill be having to pull the valve cover. hopefully it can be re-used since its not leaking currently

[@fullcend-tkm73]

Or you can use a self-tapping screw to fish down in the end of the dipstick and self tapping into the end and pull it out and then you may apply just a little bit of heat to the end as well to loosen it up a little bit more and it'll come right out of there

[@Bacongrease00]

@@fullcend-tkm73 I can try, it seems that it wants to keep pushing down into the valve cover. Not sure where it will stop. any thoughts? will it eventually bottom out in the pan? im just worried about pushing it down too far and having to pull the oil pan

[@probegt75]

You can tell those knuckles been beaten up over the years 😂

[@jake367jp]

Great video man, is there a specific torque spec for the valve cover bolts?

[@fullcend-tkm73]

SNUG lol they have metal stoppers when they are snug that will let you know

[@jorgevillalba1017]

89 inches to pound

[@KNIGHTMARE_706_ENT]

I have the 2017 edge and it's leaking gas under the idler tensioner to the right down in a pocket I see a 2 wire plug and gas it leaking under that how can I fix that

[@fullcend-tkm73]

Are you sure it's gas? How can gas get way over there?

[@humbertomolina1249]

Should show how to remove the valve cover.

[@ManvirKhaira]

The oil that’s leaking is engine oil? Or brake fluid ? I also have same problem in my Fusion

[@fullcend-tkm73]

The oil you see here is engine oil

[@ManvirKhaira]

The Keto Mechanic - Black Sheep sir I have one more question about my fusion it’s has 2.0l EcoBoost and during cold start the cars has little rough idle, the rpm needle bounce up and down and I can feel the vibration inside the car( it only vibrate when needle bounces). This was the video I uploaded so that I can get solution. Even I took it to dealership and they are saying there are no codes. Could you please check the video. What could be the problem ? Thank you so much m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqDRoqN8d5ybpck

[@ManvirKhaira]

Hello sir please reply! No dealership changes spark plugs but still does that

I am having a p0303 check engine light that comes on once a week. I have swapped coil packs. no change. replaced all 4 plugs.. no change... noticed that the vacuum line that is pressed onto a plastic fitting that goes onto the vacuum pump is split. Even though that vacuum line is about 13 inches long and is not one entire pc. ford only sells this as a 350 dollar entire part. I have not replaced the intake gasket yet but i think the vacuum leak can be causing my issue.I own a 2017 ford fusion 2.0 echoboost gas titanium edition ford... 61,000 miles.... I was having the issue of every time i fill up my rpms would race up and down etc but i fixed that BY REPLACING THE ENGINE PURGE VALVE THAT LOOKS LIKE AN OCTOPUS AND RAN ME 160 AT THE DEALER. Thats all fixed. Just trying to track down the p0303 issue .

[@fullcend-tkm73]

I replied to you on my other channel

[@XxPANCAKExX]

How different from motors to a 2007 2.0T mondeo motor

[@raya2smty]

Can the vacuum pump cause the brake pedal hard?

[@fullcend-tkm73]

Yes lack of vacuum or a vacuum pump going bad can cause a hard brake pedal

[@anothey93]

How much is this exact service?

[@fullcend-tkm73]

Couple hours and parts Maybe 350 - 500

[@focusst273]

How different is this engine to the Focus ST engine?

[@nightnightime1121]

As long as it’s a 2.0 L eco boost nothing but the engine cover saying Lincoln vs ford eco boost

[@ostafon1]

Hi! Could this leak cause a little bit (2 seconds) of blue/white smoke from the exhaust when you start the engine in the morning ?

[@fullcend-tkm73]

More like a white smoke yes that's possible possibly a little bit of a turbo leak as well around the oil seal

[@ostafon1]

FULL CEND - TKM thank you

[@Unkn0wn2003]

Would these same parts work with a 2014 ford escape 2.0l ecoboost? I have the same leak at the vacuum pump.

[@fullcend-tkm73]

I think so

[@JamesBond-ff1nk]

Would this change much on my 2016 Ford Edge? I was reading that the valve cover gasket has been failing at around 90k

[@fullcend-tkm73]

If it's the same motor it's the same process

[@Scuba451]

Mine failed at 105k

[@akshitsaini8790]

Hi sir, thanks a lot for the video, I followed all your steps but I have a issue I have two error codes p0108 and P0335, if you know anything about this can you please help me thanks.

[@fullcend-tkm73]

Do you know what the description for these codes are?

[@fullcend-tkm73]

So when is a crank sensor code and the other one is a map sensor code When you put everything back together do you make sure that you sealed up the vacuum pump correctly and that you plugged all the lines back in?

[@fullcend-tkm73]

Does the vehicle start can you actually turn the key on and crank it over and fire it up and does it run

[@akshitsaini8790]

FULL CEND - TKM P0335 - Crankshaft Position Sensor A Circuit P0108 - Manifold Absolute Pressure Circuit High Input

[@akshitsaini8790]

FULL CEND - TKM No the car keeps on cranking but it won’t start the engine.

[@johnbarros7280]

Damn I have a 2013 MkZ. Having the oil leak. I'm going to my mechanic to see what he charges. Dealership would want an arm and a leg. Appreciate it!!

[@fullcend-tkm73]

Hopefully you're pleased with whatever they come up with

[@exploreandthriftwithmario]

How much does this repair usually cost? I have a 2013 Ford Escape w/ only 77,000 and was quoted $2,000+ for the "valve cover gasket crank bolt and vacuum pump reseal". Thanks!

[@fullcend-tkm73]

So with yours they are resealing the front cover as well Its about 7hrs labor and then add parts So it's about $1,000 in labor and about $400 in parts 2000 dollar seems like it's a little too much

[@exploreandthriftwithmario]

@@fullcend-tkm73 Thanks for the quick response!

[@fullcend-tkm73]

Not a problem

[@anaudiophile]

Good informative video. If this was a warranty repair, I fear you lost your shirt for the benefit of the viewers!!

[@fullcend-tkm73]

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this

[@anaudiophile]

@@fullcend-tkm73 Sorry, perhaps my lingo isn't universal. I was suggesting that if the work you did in the video was all warranty, you spent more time doing the repairs and editing the video than the manufacturer would pay you! And if that's true you lost money, but the viewers are able to benefit from it. I've worked dealerships for decades. It's commonly known that warranty times are very stingy.

[@Scuba451]

This engine driving me crazy just sorted out the purge valve, now leaking oil from area between coil 1-2. There is a non used bolt hole I tried to put a bolt in between coil 1-2 when i changed spark plugs, could this have caused damage to valve cover gasket making it leak?

Ayyy lmao
