@bbgcars very cool. I moved last year from dasmarinas. Am in batangas now. Have a 2005 ford escape 3.0l i regret buying. I've replaced half the car over the last year. Now it's time for head gasket lol. Last ford i buy in this country.

Interesting! I'm all about American cars and they need to be taken care of and they are reliable but unforgiving sadly! So after decades of working on cars I have determined that toyotas are pretty well built and also hondas ..isuzus are near bulletproof and nissans are good too..as far as head gasket repair on your v6..its pretty straight forward..if after removing your heads off your v6 check your block for straightness, if it checks out then your good to go with just resurfacing your head! If not then the engine has to be removed, disassembled and resurfaced requiring a full rebuild. At this point it's cheaper to buy another escape as total cost of the rebuild will exceed the value of the car! These are the kinda of escapes I like to buy as I can fix them cheap..have a great day.

Your welcome

so if these things aren’t aligned you can take the head cylinder out

[@bbgcars]

You mean the alignment pins ?

[@bluetipz5100]

at the beginning of the video you was aligning something where the belt is at does that need to be aligned in order for me to get head cylinder off

[@bbgcars]

@@bluetipz5100 The CHAIN does not need alignment. What needs alignment is the Crank Pulley which needs an alignment tool in the rear of the block which stops the crank counterweight from moving while you tighten the crank bolt. and also the cam timing has to be done correctly based on what I showed you in this video. MAKE SURE the number 1 cylinder is in TOP DEAD CENTER before setting the cam and crank timing.

[@bluetipz5100]

thank you very much one last question in order for me to align these correctly does my vechile needs to be stalled straight foward meaning no wheels turnt at all 4 are straight are i can align it with my two from tires turning a little

[@bbgcars]

Hehe no sir! Wheel alignment has nothing to do with engine work whatsoever ! The reason I have the passenger side wheel off is so that you ca easily get to the crank pulley and all related parts in that area so you can access them without issue and yes ! It better the wheels are straight just for safety's sakes.if your uncertain get yourself and experienced mechanic with you to help you as you will need 2 people to do this job effectively. Good luck and be safe !

@@bbgcars I'm already locked in me friend. I'm changing my '05 head gasket this has taught me alot. 3.0 v6. I'ma 1st timer to this.

[@bbgcars]

Excellent ! I'm glad we could help..stay tuned for another project escape. But this time with a v6!

[@metropcslatitude1474]

Does the vehicle need to be in a certain gear before motor disassembly. As in like (neutral or park)???

[@bbgcars]

No need, it's better to have the transmission in neutral for ease of turning the engine while setting up TDC..other than that it doesn't matter what gear
