Hope you guys have a wonderful day!
Thank you brother I got 2004 that helped me a lot
My pleasure! Glad I could help!
I have a 2004 2.0 liter MAZDA 3i with 165 k miles (used car bought recently with 160k miles and just changed the oil the first time). I'm getting a feel for this car. After watching your video, I have to say, my engine's valve cover is almost identical. I have a ton of oil on top of spark plug 4, and 3, 2, 1 are clean. I've been smelling some oil burn recently, and now I know why! I am changing the spark plugs, and now the valve cover gasket - routine maintenance!
22:25 this was a very wholesome moment, i could feel it.
Very in depth video man. I appreciate your effort it helped me so much!
Nice
THANKS!
Focus zts 2004 working on it today. Thanks for the help
Excellent video. Thanks for the tips. Now i can go change mine
Excellent video. I'm changing the valve cover gasket as well as the engine oil cooler gasket. Both are leaking on my 2009 Mazda 3 at 157,000 miles.
Thank you! I hope you were able to change them and everything went smoothly.
Everything worked out great minus a few yellow clips snapping from being so dried out. Got everything done in a few hours. Thanks to your video of course. Next is a transmission fluid and filter change. Thanks again!
Great to hear Andre, if you have any questions regarding what type of fluid or help in the process of changing the fluid and filter, let me know.
Great video. Very well explained.
gerard321111 Thank you very much Gerard!
great video sir!
Great video. Thanks
Good video man need to change my vvt solenoid this helps alot
Dude this was so helpful......Chur Chur,
Great, appreciate your video, my 2008 fusion has the same engine as yours
Thanks brother. Great video. Need to do the work on mine and this helps. Same question about the torque on each bolt. Nothing goggle can't help with it. Cheers.
I am glad this video helped you out. Mazda says 6 pound feet of torque, but I dont believe in torque for plastic valve covers. It depends on how worn out of your valve cover is. They are made out of plastic and over time and heat they get brittle, so sometimes the 6 pound feet could break it. That's why I use discretion :).
Anthony Awada those plastic clips to take off are by far the hardest part of the job lol. Had to use pliers and even broke a few.
Auto Matrix77 Haha, I broke all of them. Please don't tell anyone :p
Head cover bolt torque is 6 ft-lb.
Thank you🤙
Absolutely! Anytime!
I'm assuming this is fairly similar to the 2004 Mazda 6 2.3L with the coil pack instead of individual coils.
Yes, exactly the same, but you are leaving wires rather than packs. Make sure to label which wire is for which cylinder when you take them off!
Hey dude how long to wait to drive and turn on the car?
Would it be wise to swap the coil packs and spark plugs while doing the valve cover gasket? i recently was having trouble with mine hesitating and not wanting to accelerate. After swapping the coil packs and spark plugs. the car ran solid for like 6-8 months than it started showing the same symptoms. My mechanic did advise me the valve cover gasket is leaking. Do you think i need to swap the plugs and packs again?
The round piece to the left of the oil cap that has a clip attachment is leaking oil around it on my 07 Mazda5. While the cover is off how is that replaced?
I was planning on doing this and the video was very helpful! I'm just curious: I'm planning on doing this because I've found oil on top and inside cylinder 1 on my 2006 mazda 3. Would this potentially fix that issue?
Hi Kane carr, this procedure will more than likely take care of your oil escaping. Make sure to change the inner and outer gasket.
@@AnthonyAwada Thank you very much Anthony!!
@@kanecarr1418 hey, no worries. Clean up the oil that was leaking to ensure that the new gasket isn't leaking as well. Also for the oil in the spark plug area. Try to get as much as you can out by shoving a paper towel and absorbing the oil. If there is some you cannot get to, the take the spark plug out and it will fall into the combustion engine. Mind you, there will be some smoke when you first start up.
@@AnthonyAwada Thank you:) now it seems like there is oil in the combustion chamber already. Could it be getting in there some other way?
@@kanecarr1418 if your car is burning oil, I would suspect a pcv valve.
Thank you for the video helped a lot now it's my turn lol let you know how it goes
Hi Nathan Young! Glad that this video helped you. Let me know how it goes and if there is anything I can help you with.
What is the round part where you showed were you cleaned it on the 22 min marker? I have coolant/water coming out of it. What would that mean?
Great video btw!!
Did you applied any silicone to the gasket? Or just replaced it?
If I want to change the spark plugs also, should I do it after the new gaskets are on and everythings done? Also how do you recommend cleaning the oil out of the wells? Could I use brake cleaner for that?
Great video by the way! I am a rookie at car repairs and I really feel like I can do this repair and save myself some money. I appreciate you going through all the little details!
Wesley Bergholm Hi Wesley! No problem, I am sure you can do it!
In regards to the spark plugs. You can take them out whenever (when the valve cover is on or off). If you do the job while off though, make sure not to contaminate the cams and rest of the head of the engine with debris that could be caused by removing the spark plug.
Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
I have a 2008 mazda tribute. The mechanic diagnosis was replacement od valve cover gasket leaking and spark tube full of oil. My question is what type of sensors are near when replacement is being done? My light is now always on and there appears to be a ticking noise and the air conditioner does not work. The valve cove and spark plugs replaces, four wheel alignment, transmission service, replaced #3 motor replaced , rear shocks leaking.
I originally complained about shaking at stand still and breaking. After work was completed, the sensors light remained on. The air conditioner stop cooling and the braking noise continued. I want to be better informed about the work and understand if the work done is complete
What's the difference of valve and head gasket?
Hi Sergio, valve cover gasket, per it's name is a cover that ensures that the oil splashing from the camshafts do not go outside the engine. It's an easy part to change and inexpensive for the most part. The head gasket is in between the head of the engine (where your valves, camshaft, etc) and the block of the engine (where your pistons, crankshaft, etc) are house. It ensures a good seal between the head and block. To ensure no exhaust gases, coolant, and oil don't mix. It is an expensive job and part. Which requires the removal of the head, resurfacing, and potentially new valves, and new valves being lapped.
Hi Anthony,
I have a leak near the sensor which is located on the furthest left side of the spark plug. My question is, do you need to remove the whole engine cover to replace that seal or can you just replace it by taking out the sensor? Btw, what sensor do you call that left side sensor?
Hi! I assume you are referring to the VVT solenoid. You can do the whole job without removing the valve cover. In my many years of working on Mazdas, I never had one leak from there. Check to ensure no cracks in the cover.
Did this make your check engine light come on?
I had oil on spark plug one. Changed my spark plugs and engine light went off. Maybe check your spark plugs for oil. And of course replace gasket for valve cover. Hope you got yours fixed.
You bet your ass 4yrs later someone wanted to see how it was done....
Swimming is fun... swimming in oil, especially 5w-20.. Maybe not so much
@@AnthonyAwada thanks again car is running soo much smoother and better mpg now that I replaced bad injectors too
What brand is your valve cover gasket? I wanna get the same one, mines doing the same thing haha. :)
Hi Macy, I got mine from AutoZone.
Lot of mazda and ford parts are the same might use same damn engine
I'm confused... we have a 2009 Mazda 6 with a 4cyl engine, and every document source I can find states the vehicle should have a "2.5L" engine, but under the hood... the engine in place is "this engine", which you claim to be a "2.3L". What gives...?
2003 - 2008 is a 2.3L
2009 - 2013 is a Skyactiv 2.5
The 6 cylinders also are different
2003 - 2008 is a 3.0L
2009 - 2013 is a 3.7L
I have the 3.0 mazda engine v6 so I know the struggle
With more power comes greater responsibility... or headaches at least. I do understand the pain of the rear bank gasket :(
Oh man mine are flooded
I have a 2015 silverado and this video was not helpful at all, what gives?
U watched the video upside down, that's what.
