Awesome!

Nice job, you are easy to follow and makes for a great demonstration, very easy to understand every step of the way.

Thank you for this! Such a great helpful video. Saved me thousands.

I’m so glad I found this. I have a 2007 compass. Same motor. This is exactly what in need to do. Wasn’t sure if I could do it but after watching this I feel a little better about it. I’m not about to pay a garage to do it. Especially when they wanted $150 just to change the spark plugs. Thank you for posting this.

Thanks for making this video. I need to change the gasket on my '15 Patriot

Thank you! Looks easy. Glad to find your video!

Great tutorial man.

Thanks for the update

good video. done many just watched the beginning to see if this car had any obstacles to be concerned getting the valve cover off. friendly advice if you wanna know how many bolts instead of counting on the car I always count the gasket holes.

I have a 2009 Dodge Avenger SXT and this was exactly what I needed. It was very simple after watching your video. You saved me $200. Thanks!!!!

Hi Sauceman's Garage, Thank you for the video, it is very helpful. I would like to ask when do you change the spark plugs with the valve cover off or change them after you re-install it?

Hi G T, thanks for visiting my channel. I would change the spark plugs with the valve cover on as you don't want to accidentally drop anything into the valve area or have dirt or anything fall in there.

Good video showed to the old man were gonna tackle this today. Should we use any sealent on the gasket or just torque it real good? Have one of our spark plugs getting oil in its hole just one plug figured this it.

Thanks for checking out my channel! The only place you could but a dab of RTV is where the head meets the timing cover (both sides and just a dab). I didn't do this and had no leaks but it is good practice none the less. Other than that, no sealant is needed.

Nice job! Any leaks? I noticed you didn't apply any RTV where the timing chain meets the block. Also, just to add, you can overtighten. I did and snapped a bolt off in the head. Luckily I was able to drill it out and then extract it.

Hi, thanks for checking out my channel, no leaks. Good comment to use a little RTV at the transitions as it my standard practice and I usually apply some, but forgot on this job. Bummer about you snapping off a bolt, I've always just snugged them down, not over tightened them.

Just a question: Do the bolts not need to be torqued?

I have the 2.4 l & my new gasket sticks out a bit on the driver side, is that normal? It seems to be the same case in the video. But I just wanna be certain.

@jefferson88888

The gasket is a bit exposed on the drivers side after instal. Without a picture of your installation I can not be sure if your installation is correct, but as long as there is no oil leakage you should be fine. It should be pretty obvious if the gasket rolled out of the valve cover groove during instal.

@jefferson88888

Unscrew them all untill you're sure they have been turned enough to be free of the head, then gently try to pull the valve cover off (bolts and all). The cover/old gasket may be holding onto the bolts not allowing them to be pulled out easily. If the bolts are turning inside the head, they are stripped and you have much bigger problems.....

@@catdog4447 Be patient and try to slowly work them out (1/4" drive ratchet is best as it has a short handle and will limit the amount of torque). If possible spray some penetrating oil onto all of the bolts and let it sit overnight - might have to do this a couple of times. If you resort to an impact or electric ratchet you're most likely guranteed to snap them off.

Make sure ALL of the fasterners holding the cover down have been removed. Once confirmed, wiggle and bump the sides of the cover with your palm - it should come off. The old gasket over time sometimes forms a pretty tight bond between the cover and the engine head.

What about the bolt sequence for the valve cover.There is a sequence and torche that u have to do or it will leak .So this video is not right.Sorry.

Nice video, but for all of you first timers out there, he failed to show cleaning around the timing cover fits around the timing cover. This area has to be cleaned and a small amount of form-a gasket on both sides of valve cover or you will have a LEAK. Too bad it took you a couple of hours to do what you thought was a really good job, to end up pulling it back apart to apply about a 1/2 of sealant. Hope this helps!
