- Recently I painted my valve covers and I had some people ask me how did I do it.
In this video I show you how to remove the valve covers so you can paint them too.
Big thanks to one of my best friends for helping me make this video.

My VCT sensors are leaking so figured I might as well replace the valve cover gaskets if ima get in there. Thanks for the vid! This was the only one i could find for the 3.7
I’m going to change my spark plugs and your video was really helpful in showing me how to remove the air manifold. Thanks man!
Thank you for this video! I couldn’t find a single vid to show me how to remove the value covers bc I have a bad gasket and oil is all up in my air intake /manifold. Thank you so much!
Make sure to share with others!
Thank you for this, I have a turbo in the way of one of the bolts, so it’s half turns with a wrench in order to get it, but your video helped me a ton.
man i know this old… but did you rtv the front cover to cylinder stepped area? it calls for it in the service
How long did this take to do ??? I have a lifter tick on my mustang and idk wether to go get it down by mechanics or by myself
I got a 2012 with a tick tick noise from that front passenger side lifter valve. Looks like I can get to it just by removing one engine cover? Great video 👍
im experiencing the same issue was it hard to fix that lifter noise?
@@nathansatterfield4325 idk still ticking not leaking and it's intermittent some times is silent sometimes is louder. 🤷♂️
damn thats unfortunate well either way im taking the valve covers off to see if i can see anything wrong. do you hear it when you accelerate up to about 3k rpm? cause thats the only time i hear it. ive had 4 different mechanics tell me to check my lifters
These motors have direct actuating mechanical buckets. The cam lobes ride on the bucket. There are no lifters or lash adjusters like in the coyote. I have heard a few 3.7s with the tick including my own. It was the ac drive belt on mine with a build date of 12/13. Intermittent tick on idle from passenger side with belt on, silent with it off.
@@tracestroub5225 was there a solution?
Link for the beauty cover?? I absolutely love it!
Any idea whats that threaded hole for above the oil cap?
I wondered that myself
@@sugarkang I find out from a Ford tech: "The threaded holes on the valve cover are usually for wire harness retaining pins. That valve cover is used in other vehicles as well, so one of the other applications likely has a wire harness that passes right above that and clips into it."
@@TheBoondoggler Thanks for the reply homie!
@@sugarkang 👍
That seems like a bear to pull off
do you have to take the intake manifold off to get the right side? it only covers the left. i already replaced my intake manifold gasket and spark plugs on all sides myself, that was when i had 3 days off in a row, i only have a day and half off cause they have me switching dayshift and nightshift during my days. just wondering cause i think i may have a valve cover gasket leak possibly.
It won’t take a 4 minutes to remove it so why not to do a clean work
Valve cover gasket net to be replaced once you remove it ..
Nice vid , dope car man !
Did you use primer or clear coat ?
Josef Alvarez I used some sand paper to sand it down a little, then I used primer. Then about 4 coats of purple and lastly a clear coat to give it a glossy finish.
3PointSlow I figured, I just ordered anodized color coat, primer, gloss clear. I like how it looks on your stang and decided to do it on mine!
Josef Alvarez thanks! Hope the video helps! What color are you gonna use?
3PointSlow Anodized Red
Josef Alvarez awesome
Nice
