Ford Fiesta Mk6 ST150 Rocker cover gasket repair - Oil on spark plugs!

#fiestast150 #homemechanics #DIY
In todays video I tackle the rocker cover gasket on the ST150, I have oil leaking down into the spark plug wells and need to get it fixed before it gives me grief in the future.
A fairly simple DIY job that can be done at home with most home mechanics tools you have laying around.
Thanks for watching the video, hope you enjoy

Nice one Dan. We've had our Fiesta ST since 40,000 and rolled onto 140,000 miles now and it's been a pleasure to own. Apart from brakes, discs , tyres and servicing nothing else needed. It still pulls well and no smoke. The most recent expense was a pair of new headlights as the original ones were well past cleaning. Easy to do as well Love your videos, short sharp and to the point. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Thanks Phillip! To be fair to the car I give it some stick for being an old piece of **** however I cant really fault it too much. This is on 153K miles and only requiring the normal stuff that any car of this age is going to need really. The engine is lower mileage than the chasis as its been replaced before I bought it but still its a pleasure to own. Thanks for the compliment on the vids it means a lot and glad you enjoy them. Wont be to everyones taste but this is youtube after all lol

Top video as always bud rocker cover gaskets can be such a pain 😂

[@DJLloydy]

Cheers mate! Yeah not what I was expecting to be honest, quite a fiddly one compared to what I’m used to but fingers crossed that solves this problem.....

[@6uiltdifferent]

@@DJLloydy no worries, and I think it will be fine 👍🏻

[@DJLloydy]

If you see another video on it you know what’s happened lol

[@6uiltdifferent]

@@DJLloydy saw it enough when I was a mechanic 😂😂 used to pull the ht leads out and go ahh shit 😂

[@DJLloydy]

I’m glad it’s a common thing then if that makes sense lol

[@shaungowler8909]

Thanks for the welcome to Ur channel looking forward to more on the st keep up the good work be great see more on modifications remaps cams turbo supercharger and in general 👍🏻👍🏻

[@DJLloydy]

Will have some modifications hopefully next year but cannot promise anything as only my run around 😂.

[@jonnyvt6602]

Great job, seems to be a common issue, cheers

Hi mate, recently got myself an. St150, i have the same issue as yourself. Will be buying the gaskets and spark plugs you reccomend, one question did you get new head bolts or did you reuse the ones you removed? Only ask as someone said i would need new head bolts as they stretch or something. Loving the channel and videos, not a mechanic by any means but i enjoy learning and will give anything a diy go. Thanks for uploading.

[@DJLloydy]

Hello mate, welcome along for the journey!! You won’t need head bolts unless you are planning on taking the head off. Rocker cover bolts are fine and won’t stretch :)

[@Bugsy85]

@@DJLloydy Oh it's definitely a journey lol. Done a few small DIY jobs already, but once you start, something else crops up, definitely a learning curve but your videos definitely help out. Will do the gasket this weekend, thanks for the reply.

[@DJLloydy]

No worries mate :)

Great content car looking great thanks for sharing

[@DJLloydy]

Cheers mate

[@FF04ORD]

Good video mate.. hopefully all sorted now

[@DJLloydy]

Cheers dude, yeah hopefully all sorted but if not then more content lol

[@larsk1924]

I noticed that the rocker cover on my st150 was quite sweaty. I gave the outside a good clean but I'm pretty sure it is indeed a bad valve cover gasket. Might go on and replace that soon :)

[@TheShinyShow]

Did you say the engine only has 40000 miles on it, so did it have an engine swap?

[@DJLloydy]

Yes only 40K on the new engine although i reckon a few more than that lol

[@span89]

My 150 keeps blowing spark plugs in thinking this is my problem too.

[@DJLloydy]

Potentially this is causing your issue yes but mine where covered in oil after I removed them as was built up in the wells :(

[@thegamingdan4922]

@@DJLloydy Did mine today, spark plug 1 was covered in oil. There was some oil down in the plug well. Hopefully this will resolve the issue I'm having. Pain in the arse ha. Thanks for the video, had to check it out a couple of times.

[@DJLloydy]

@@thegamingdan4922 no worries mate hopefully it solves the issue, these are a common problem from what I hesr

[@lukeyboy01]

Mines got a dodgy idle and burning oil. Gutted.

[@DJLloydy]

Sorry for the late reply! I think these cars burn oil for fun anyway so don't worry too much or is yours excessive?
