If you are having issues fitting back the engine cover, you'll have to adjust the pipe fitting that you attached to the catch can, point it downwards then attach the hose, that will make your engine cover fit.
Great job, my only minor constructive comment is the thread tape should go on in the same direction as you tighten, righty tighty, the way to test it is to try turning to the Right into your other hand (four fingers), if its wrapped well it will not unwrap into your fingers
Correct, and for good measure if it’s folded over like his was in the beginning I would start over and lay it flat not bunched up. Don’t just wrap it around it. I’ve done a fair bit of plumbing and while yes this will most likely prevent leaks it could affect how long with vibrations etc, I’d have it flat, take your time, it’s important part of anything with water/oil/gas/pressure
@@dlandis03yea if the manufacturer has a certain spot the threads are supposed to line up at and you have to crank that last one as hard as he did to get it to line up. Take it off and use one less teflon wrap to start. I agree with ya
I have a 2018 F150 2.7 Ecoboost and I'm having the same problem, not able to place back the engine cover. I've tried pointing the fitting downward, but if I do that then the hose will not reach. For know, I'm driving around without the engine cover to my eyes that's not a clean look. Any other ideas?
Yeah I have a 2015 3.5 EB and that engine cover would not fit after installing this catch can. What I did was point the pipe fitting that you attached to the catch can downwards then you can attached the hose and that will work. This video was done without putting back the cover.

I bought mine off Amazon for $30. Works the same.

Looks like customer put Teflon tape incorrectly. Not a plumber but I thought you supposed to put tape with direction of thread
Good 👁. He did it backwards.
And he used way to much

@@nightflyer7626 Yepper, clockwise on RH threads.
Nice video
I’ll never take a man seriously that uses a crescent wrench on painted fittings….
Did you see him put on the teflon tape backwards 😂

@@JoseMendoza-bj6oe lose the cover. It's not necessary
I’ve read reviews that hoses are too short, and engine cover won’t go back on? Anyone have this issue?

@@ChefJohnsonfoodandskillsI heard removing the cover is better for heat distribution rather then trapping it
The cover is a great way to collect debris under it on top of the engine
this will not fit on a 2.7 ecoboost the turbo pipe is in the way
T tape is wrapped be wrong way
