how did you find the crack on the valve cover?
@@previnmarquez3753 just by visual inspection. Kinda hard to see at first.
I have a 17 expedition with the same issue. I went to the dealership. They have 4k in backorder.
It’s crazy that it’s that hard to get a common part.
Good job! Thanks for your help!

Yessir good information !!! 💪🏽💪🏽
Thank you!
Awesome video! How many miles do you have on your truck? I've got the same truck at about 150k miles. I've got a cracked valve cover and cannot find an OEM replacement anywhere. Thinking about trying an aluminum Mitzone replacement, but having trouble finding specific F-150 reviews for that brand.
Thank you. Mine currently has around 129xxx. It was a pain to find replacement covers at the time of this video. I don’t know if they have gotten easier or not. I did not see any aluminum ones when I was searching back when I was doing this repair but if you could find a reputable company that made some that would be nice. I think if I could I would still stick with oem if I could though.
I need to do this my VVT sensor is bad on the exhaust cam on the driver side
Learned a good bit from the video, but I think he forgot to put back the oil dip stick.
Thanks. My dip stick is put back but might not have shown in the video. Thank you.
Awesome
Hi thank you for the video , did the burn smell on the passenger side go away after valve cover seal replacement?
Thank you for watching. The smell is gone it was due to the valve cover but also the vacuum pump.
Does the new valve cover come with new tube seals and vct seals installed, I know the new valve cover comes with a gasket but just wondering if came with the seals installed or do I need to order them separately??
Where did you get the coil pack gasket
Also none of the videos I've seen on this talk about bleeding the fuel pressure. Did you bleed the line? Just wondering if it's necessary being high pressure.
No you don’t need to.
Right on. I have already done the passenger side and just realized the driver side is now leaking as well.
I have a 2013 f150 ecoboost. One of the bolts on passenger side keeps turning and turning. It’s leaking from that side as well What’s the easiest way to fix this?
Sounds like that bolt is broken or the threads are stripped out. You would need to remove the cover to see what needs to be done to repair it.
Hi my friend is an excellent video, where did you buy the two valve covers?
Thanks a lot! And thank you for your support! I found one on Facebook market place and the other on eBay. They were super hard to find.
@@Higgsgarage It is very difficult to find them, I have been looking for them everywhere and I cannot find them, I call the Dealer but they tell me that they are in the Backorder and they do not have an ETA. I'm going to keep looking for them thank you very much
Yeah that’s what I was told too! Just keep looking and hopefully you can snag them!
@@Higgsgarage ok thanks 🙏 have a good day
Are there any seals on the fuel pump that should be replaced? I know the valve cover comes with one for the spacer but is there another on the actual pump? Also it looks like there might be 2 o-ring seals where the bolt holes are?
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I do not recall having to replace any other seals or o rings.
I finally got one in this week. They were on national backorder. Thanks for making the video. It truly helps out those who want to diy it.
I noticed an oil leak on my 2013 Ford F150 Ecoboost 3.5L and it got worse to the point where the smell of oil was in the cab and it was dripping on the garage floor, took it to the Ford Dealer. They told me it was my driver side valve cover. Well I decided after watching the video that I would replace the valve cover. In your video you spent time working on the front lower bolt but you didn't explain what the problem was or how you got the bolt off. We only saw the back of your head the whole time. I see it's a bracket that is over the bolt and it doesn't look easy to get to the bolt. Also you explained to get the bolts at the back of the valve cover to just fill for them. Well I did but there is a wiring harness over the bolts and I can't even get to them. I'm taking a break right now but probably will wish that I just had taken it to the dealer. Don't know how much they would charge probably $1000.00.
Bolts have the wiring harness attached via a plastic clip. It slides over the top you have to pop them off to get to the bolts. If your not comfortable or mechanical inclined I would not attempt to do any repairs on the vehicle.
There is a bracket over that bottom front bolt. Looks like he pried the bracket off instead of removing the bolt/bolts from front of head.
I have a 2013 F150 ecoboost as well and I keep seeing they changed the gaskets mid 2013 model year. Mine is supposed to be after the switch but I cant find a solid answer on which gasket part # is correct for the trucks made later in 2013. Do you know if you have the first or 2nd style and what the gasket part # would be?
Where did you get that foam mat? Tired of scratching my stomach..
Man I wish I knew, my brother gave it to me. I’ll be sure to ask him. It definitely Helps. I was so tired of my stomach being bruised.
Why did you use silicone on the front of the valve wall?
What time stamp on the video are you talking about and I’ll watch it and let you know. Thanks for watching!
@@Higgsgarage 47:16.. I think that is RTV right?
@timothysmith7309 yes that is. It calls for silicone where the timing cover meets the head between the valve cover and the head. Kinda hard to explain in text but you can see the meeting point on the video where the timing cover meets the head.
@@Higgsgaragethank you for that explanation it was hard to hear you say that in the video although it was easy to see you do that I m getting ready to start mine today I appreciate your time making this video
Thanks for the video, but the music is unbearable.
Couldn't find torque specs anywhere.
I had a hard time too. I ended up doing what I felt was right and have no leaks.
I hate the plastic valve covers
I 100% agree with you!
Music is to loud
Would have been better without the annoying Music in the background.
Glad you enjoyed the video
