216,000 miles on my 2.0 ford explorer. I just replaced the spark plugs add notice there's oil on the middle two cylinder spark plug Wells. Naturally I came to this video thank you very much!!

Had an oil leak on the side and front of valve cover on my ST and followed this guide(same rtv application points) and it’s all bone dry now! Great video thanks for the upload

Thank you for this video was trying to see how that vacuum pump looked before I tried taking it out.

Good job good tips and good video 😎👍🏼

And now I know where my oil leak is thanks!

Hi, very nicely done video and description. I have a 2014 Ford Galaxy 2.0 eco boost and I think it is a very similar engine, maybe exactly the same based on the electrical and piping setup. The oil leak is in the same places as in the video. I've been doing minor car repairs myself for a few years, but not the timing chain. It is complicated. But I should be able to handle this. Is it necessary to observe the direction and torque of the cover screws or is it not so important? Mostly they reached the moment of strength "as much as possible and carefully". Thanks and good luck. Sorry for the language, I'm just learning English, I'm from the Czech Republic.

You can tell those knuckles been beaten up over the years 😂

Really good job. It helps a lot also for my 2013 Jaguar XF 2.0 Petrol as well, since it has exactly the same engine except the fact that it stays 90 degree counterclock vise inside the engine bay :) . Thanks a lot again dud. Congrats...

Good vid Any torque specs?

Is it possible to replace that vacuum pump gasket that you replaced with out pulling the valve cover?

Damn I have a 2013 MkZ. Having the oil leak. I'm going to my mechanic to see what he charges. Dealership would want an arm and a leg. Appreciate it!!

2:43 what size is that bolt? 2014 Ford Escape 2.0 eco boost. Would it be the same bolt size?

Hey do you have any videos with the head gasket replacement this video is great

Great video man, is there a specific torque spec for the valve cover bolts?

I have this exact same engine 2016 Lincoln MKZ, error code P0236. Do you have any knowledge about this error?

I broke the dipstick handle off in my wifes 2013 escape 2.0 ecoboost. Looks like ill be having to pull the valve cover. hopefully it can be re-used since its not leaking currently

Hi! Could this leak cause a little bit (2 seconds) of blue/white smoke from the exhaust when you start the engine in the morning ?

How different from motors to a 2007 2.0T mondeo motor

I am having a p0303 check engine light that comes on once a week. I have swapped coil packs. no change. replaced all 4 plugs.. no change... noticed that the vacuum line that is pressed onto a plastic fitting that goes onto the vacuum pump is split. Even though that vacuum line is about 13 inches long and is not one entire pc. ford only sells this as a 350 dollar entire part. I have not replaced the intake gasket yet but i think the vacuum leak can be causing my issue.I own a 2017 ford fusion 2.0 echoboost gas titanium edition ford... 61,000 miles.... I was having the issue of every time i fill up my rpms would race up and down etc but i fixed that BY REPLACING THE ENGINE PURGE VALVE THAT LOOKS LIKE AN OCTOPUS AND RAN ME 160 AT THE DEALER. Thats all fixed. Just trying to track down the p0303 issue .

2:43 how do you get this dang bolt out

Would these same parts work with a 2014 ford escape 2.0l ecoboost? I have the same leak at the vacuum pump.

Would this change much on my 2016 Ford Edge? I was reading that the valve cover gasket has been failing at around 90k

what size is that damn bracket bolt?

Should show how to remove the valve cover.

This engine driving me crazy just sorted out the purge valve, now leaking oil from area between coil 1-2. There is a non used bolt hole I tried to put a bolt in between coil 1-2 when i changed spark plugs, could this have caused damage to valve cover gasket making it leak?

The oil that’s leaking is engine oil? Or brake fluid ? I also have same problem in my Fusion

I have the 2017 edge and it's leaking gas under the idler tensioner to the right down in a pocket I see a 2 wire plug and gas it leaking under that how can I fix that

Can the vacuum pump cause the brake pedal hard?

How different is this engine to the Focus ST engine?

How did you learn all these things? Are you self taught? Or trade school?

How much is this exact service?

Hi sir, thanks a lot for the video, I followed all your steps but I have a issue I have two error codes p0108 and P0335, if you know anything about this can you please help me thanks.

Good informative video. If this was a warranty repair, I fear you lost your shirt for the benefit of the viewers!!

How much does this repair usually cost? I have a 2013 Ford Escape w/ only 77,000 and was quoted $2,000+ for the "valve cover gasket crank bolt and vacuum pump reseal". Thanks!
