Did this (before seeing the video) and it fixed my slightly leaky valve
cover. Great Video.
Scotty, Great video, easy to understand. Keep em coming man. I have a
question too, I have an 11 year old Mercury Mountaineer and was ready to
change the shock absorbers but the lower bolts (On the front shocks) seem
like they’re almost welded in place making them tuff to slide out. I’m
pretty sure it’s rust that has them frozen in place. I’ve tried a few
products to loosen them: WD-40, Liquid wrench and others but they haven’t
helped. Anyone know of any good way to loosen those bolts up enough to
slide them out? Thanks
to screw the valve cover back on…u dont a need to tork the bolts
down?….or u dont have to for the vavle cover? i just saw oil today in my
sisters car but arround the valve cover…i cleaned it and i saw tha is tha
valve cover gasket…but didnt fixed it yet cuz i thought tha i needed to
find the tork specs for the valve cover…if no needed, shit i;ll doit
right now i have everything!!
This guy’s the best. Videos, language, and solutions are practical and
simple. Makes engine work look like child’s play. Good job dude,
when i start my megane from the passenger side at the front, under the
windscreen area and above the glove box, I hear a whining noise with
several thud like noises, as those something is trying to spin or kick in
but getting stuck. After about 5 seconds the noise stops. When I stop
engine and slam my door shut i hear a thud noise in the same area. What
could this be. Someone said it might be heating.

I have a slight oil leak from the oil pan on my 2002 Saturn SL1. Not
serious..but you cannot replace the gasket without pulling the engine
(crossmember blocks the bolts. Can I try an additive type sealant?
When I apply my brakes the break pad kind of shakes and so does the
steering wheel
Scotty I have a 2000 camry with 139k miles that blows smoke out of exhaust
pipe at each cold startup. Since it does that it burns my oil and I have to
pour a little bit of new oil into engine every few weeks to replace the
burnt oil. One mechanic told me it is the engine valve seal that is causing
the smoke and he says it will cost me a whole lot of benjamins to get it
fix. Please tell what you think may be the culprit. Thanks I learn a lot
from watching your videos, keep it up Scotty!
I have a problem with the gears on my truck its a 94 dodge the gears are

Hi Scotty, I recently purchased a 2001 Mustang Gt and noticed a little oil
leak in my drive way.. I also recently got an oil change do you think this
is serious?
How to fix an oil leak in the rear Dodge Cummins
Hi Scott,
I have a 2000 Pontiac Grand Am GT with almost 165K miles on it. Recently,
I had my oil changed and the service tech said that my valve cover gaskets
are leaking. I don’t see any oil on my driveway and I don’t smell any
burning oil when driving, so I don’t know if this is really a serious
problem or not. The service tech gave me an estimate of $170 (parts) and
$284 (labor) to replace the valve cover gasket set. I plan on driving the
car another 2 years at the most, so I don’t know if I should even bother
with the repair. What do you think I should do? Thank you.
I have a 2004 Kia Sorento and it smokes under the hood near the exhaust
manifold where it meets with the pipe (where a couple sensors are) on the
drivers side. The smoke comes and goes, one minute its smoking and the next
its not then it comes back. It smokes at idle and while driving. I checked
the gaskets of the valve cover and its dry. It seems to be oil leaking on
it just don’t know from where and why. Also checked the exhaust at the rear
and its all clear (real clean actually) so the smokes not coming from the
exhaust itself. I also have an A/C clutch problem too but let do one at a
time. Please help thanks.
What happens if i do not put motor oil in my car
Scotty I have a 2003 Mazda Protege5 auto with 150k miles. I was wondering
if city rush hour highway traffic burns more oil typically than that of say
highway driving steady at 70-75mph? My car typically goes through about
1qt of oil in between oil changes, but recently it seems to burn a bit
more. I have as of late done a lot of stop and go driving in rush hour
traffic. Otherwise car runs strong with no issues it’s proving to be a
strong engine and transmission. I’m just trying to keep it going! Your
advice is always appreciated. Jason
hey scotty i got a 03 cadillac cts 3.2 v6, i’ve already taken off the cam
covers and removed the spark plugs, i see in this video about oil getting
down in the piston area.
1st question is: will i need sealant for my cam covers(i did notice that
previous repair they did use sealant)
2nd question is: i’m pretty sure i’ve gotten oil down in the piston area by
removing the spark plugs, so what should i do before putting it back
together. thanks in advance
Great video (Y)
