    This is a fantastic quality step by step video. Found this to send to my father-in-law who is preparing to perform this repair on his Transit Connect. It could not have been explained any clearer than this.

    Excellent video and instructions, as well as the air filter hose. Oil filling my passenger side plug and car shutting off at red lights and running like crap. Got the new gasket and it's going on now! Thanks!!!! A+++++++

    It does not leak from those unequal mating surfaces because of the RTV, imagine if you will like I will be doing when I replace mine adding a bead to all the gasket surfaces. I think it will protect the new gasket from mainly oil and some heat degradation. I'm also dropping in an aluminum valve cover for fun.

    Thanks. I thought the previous owner of my 2010 connect was just sloppy when adding oil, but nope... it was a leak. By the way, shouldn't we oil lubricate the gaskets before inserting?

    I didn’t lubricate mine before installing and they are doing great.

    Hi I was wondering when you had this Issue did the oil have a gas smell?

    No gas smell in the oil.

  • @Groobl

    If your oil smells of gas, then the compression rings are leaking fuel from the combustion chamber into the sump. Some amount of this may be normal but you can perform a compression test to verify if you have a problem.

    Actually I think the cylinders are numbered from left (passenger side) to right (driver side) 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 So that would make the second from the left when looking at the engine standing in front of the bumper the second from the left should be #2.
