You don't need to remove the spark plugs?

Thank you so much for being so thorough. Other vids seem to rush through the removal of bolts/cables etc. without explaining how (or where they are located). Yours goes through each step logically and systematically. As someone with very little auto-mechanical expertise, this is perfect and easy to follow. Thank you for saving me a lot of time and heartache :)

Dude, you kick ASS! This video is awesome and it's exactly what I want to do. I especially appreciate that you didn't speed up any of it and allowed me to really see the whole process in its entirety.

Never did a tuneup on one of these took me about an hour and a half and half way through noticed the oil on my plugs i wish i had seen this video first lol now i need to break it all down again to fix that but you made it look super easy thanks !!

Very informative video and straight to the point. Thank you very much!

Good job, thanks for the video. The end was the money shot. Replacing the individual gaskets for the sparkplugs. That's where the oil must be coming from.

Yours is still leaking? These engines are garbage

Very helpful to get to the Cam Bearing Caps to check and tighten as everyone suggests after finding they come too loose over time. I don't mind pulling those hoses since I've come across many dry rotted on my 20 year old Escape.

did the front one last night. a couple things that are not mentioned here regarding the front one: the two front bolts are pretty difficult to get to, very narrow space. got them out with a frankenstein combination of swivel adapter and bunch of wobble extensions. also, the engine hook has to come off in order for the cover to actually come out. friendly tips :) good luck everyone

They ALWAYS LEAVE THAT OUT; the engine lift bracket bolt is about impossible to get to and must be accessed from underneath.

Just bend the hook, then the cover will come off.

Thanks for the very efficient video.

Thank you for all your help

great video, you guys rock.. I like the gold ring while working on the car? :), but great video

Good video covers all the bases

Great instructional video. Thanks

Nice video thanks. 2004 Mzda 6 s V6 is same engine.

thanks for sharing this video ....

me gusto el video muy bien esplicado paso por paso gracias por el video

Great job

Excellent job!! I have to do this to my 2005 Ford Escape 3.0. Also have to replace power steering pump and hoses. Do you have any videos on this process?

Good video and information.....

Thanks nice info.

Mark all of the connections and take pictures! Putting it back together will be much, much easier!

All of the connections are different sizes and in different places. They can't be confused with others. It's not necessary to tag things on this specific motor and car. I've worked on plenty of these 3.0 escape and variants. Cheers.

Great video! Is the rear cover exactly the same as the front one? The front one has the oil spout, but will the same part fit the rear? I cannot find the rear cover because they only sell the front one.

Thanks 👍👍✌️

What did you torque the valve cover bolts to? Also do you recommend torqueing the cap bolts? I removed my radiator cause it has a leak and I'm going to work on the front gaskets.

This is the same engine with 2006 Ford Fusion SEL v6. However, the design on the Escape makes it much easier to get access to the rear bank. There is much room to work at the back and No power steering container sitting on the valve cover.

good video it will help with the one i have to do. :)

Thank you! If you have any questions let us know.

what type of silicon are you applying to the gap when you are installing the new valve cover gasket?

The 2 bolts in the middle of valve cover broke as I was tightening to specs. All other bolts are tighten to specs. Can I still drive the car with the 2 center bolts not tighten or will damage happen to transmission?

Very nice video, it helped out a bunch, thanks!!! How long did it take you?

Great video. Thank you for posting. How much do you think is a fair price for this repair? My local auto shop quoted me $662 plus tax. Seemed to be way too much which is what brought me to KZread.

$40-60 for parts. If you are mechanically inclined then maybe shop around if you know your way around a tool and have data on a portal device that can play KZread videos then it's time to get greasy.

great

Hi there, I have seen a lot of your videos and there isn't one that I don't like. I did this at the same time I replaced the spark plugs and ignition coils. Is it normal for smoke to come from the engine upon starting for the first time after this? it apparently comes from behind the radiator and between engine and firewall (where the new gaskets are). It doesn't smell like burnt oil, I'm assuming it's the gaskets getting cooked

Guess I should’ve been a mechanic who works with all that jewelry on. LOL

how do you get the front one off I can't get mine out

Basically like doing a tune up

Treat your car and it will treat you 👍, this is my next project for my escape thank you

Buenas tardes.alguien le a tocado reemplazar el retén de árbol de levas de admisión de la cabeza delantera de una escape 05 motor 3.0 pero el que va del lado de la bomba de agua?

I'm so dizzy just watching it.

do you know if this is the same engine as the mazda 3.0 v6 18V 1996 ?

I see it sucking oil from intake

I wouldnt pry the valve cover at all!!!!! Also when you take hoses off dont force them off with a flat blade underneath unless you want vac leaks! Be very delicate with this job! fucking anything up will cause a bigger issue!!!! Other-wise. Thanks Russian underwater guy!

He said don’t get anything in the motor hhaha then he puts the cover face down on the ground 🤔🤭🤫

So I've always heard that this costs MAJOR money at the shop but you did it in 10 minutes...wtf???

They are not showing all of the clean up time......a shop will clean the inside of the covers, and all of the mating surfaces on the block......and it takes a lot longer to put it back together. Above I saw someone state that they got a quote for $600 to do this.......not even close. This is a $300 job

I'm working on removing the front valve cover (03 Ford Escape V6) and I'm stuck and not because of any of the bolts. I noticed that I would need to remove the engine lifting bracket but the bolt is so tight and tight fit for breaker bar even with an extension. Do I need to remove the engine lifting bracket? Any suggestions and tips to get the front cover off? Thank you

@xerveschex5761

yes you do. what I did to remove it was pit a pipe over the breaker bar to increase the torque on the socket. had the same problem with he breaker bar. Just make sure to tighten it just as tight.

@pedrogadea4926

I managed to do it without removing the engine lifting bracket, so it is possible. I'm not saying it was easy, it took a lot of wiggling and I had to push the radiator as much as it will go towards the front of the car. That is the key, I think.

Please turn off the background music. It's not loud it's just distracting when trying to listen to you.

Just payed $1200 to have all this done.

Oh boyo you got ripped off.

Very frustrating and INCOMPLETE video; only show half the job for one valve cover only. You MUST remove the engine lift bracket on the '03 Escape for bank 2 (closest to the front radiator) and is about impossible to get to the bolt. Must be on a lift and accessed from underneath. Also, if you have original factory gaskets, you'll spend a hour scraping off the melted/stuck residue and pieces of the old gaskets from the head.

@pedrogadea4926

Are you kidding me? It is unfortunate that some people will have to scrap old gasket from the mating surfaces, or that you need to remove the engine lift bracket (not that hard) but that doesn't mean his video is not clear enough for anybody to be able to do it on their own. I think he walked us thru the most complicated part, which is removing the intake manifold.

All that just to replace a gasket

Wearing jewelry is a bad idea when working on cars
