I just had the crankshaft replaced in my 2011 coyote. It has a sleeved short block and all the good parts in it. Just got the car back, and I noticed a little bit of oil under a valve cover bolt. Where should I start? How can this be diagnosed and how can I be sure that a shop doesn’t rip me off? I’m not a mechanic. Thank you so much. 😊
You forgot to mention spark plug tube seals on valve covers where the head has a tube sticking out that goes into the valve cover. Sometime those seal are part of the valve cover and can not be replaced. It that is the case they only fix is to completely replace the valve cover
The satisfaction of seeing you destroy a valve cover by prying a screwdriver underneath it to demonstrate what would happen is amazing. I want to create a tutorial video on how not to install 2000 dollar video cards into a PCI-e x16 slot by shoving it in wrong and snapping half of the gold fingers off, continuing to shove it in, and going straight through the motherboard. I wouldn't stop there. I would continue pressing the video card into the center of the earth, causing all the volcanoes to erupt on earth at the same time, ending life as we know it. I will have the same amazingly stoic face you have and say, "This is what happens."
Permatex ultra black gasket maker silicone will do the job. Just make sure to let it cure 24hrs before driving. the only downside is the long cure time but it works
I please need some kind of way to get a plug out of the cylinder well Iv been trying with the socket I think it's stripped there is alit oil around the plug.
how.common is it for the valve cover to be cracked. I have a leak and that's what my mechanic says. Coincidence that the thermostat housing was cracked a few weeks before, same guy?
my valve cover has some signs of deformity maybe due to the overheating issue, does having a new gasket can fix the leak or do i need to replace the cover itself?
I replaced the valve cover gasket $260...and I see oil coming out of valve cover has a crack,I thought maybe that is the reason...crack was there before gasket replacement...I am so unhappy with the job...Wish you were in Miami,fl.
Head cilinder, repair by alumnium, and gasket changed and oil, also changed after that new coolant throw in, but it comes the milkey things, please help me?❤
He forgets some covers are made from plastic. Plastic warps over the years and will not ever seat properly and stop leaking no matter how many gaskets you use. You will need a brand new cover!.
