On the rear end on top of the valve cover right side looping off where the throttle body was where does that air tube go

Was wondering what is a fair price to get these gaskets changed at a garage?

Cory Weigle says:

Amazing how too! You did a great job explaining everything and walking us through it! Thank you

Dave Johnson says:

On the EGR gasket – Which way does the bump fit? Front toward the manifold or back toward the hose?

Ben Bottcher says:

Awesome video. Gave me the confidence to start. I have an error code of p303. It's the 3rd firing cylinder and needs a coil replaced. Can you tell me which coil it is?

R. Meeks says:

You left out the most difficult step….getting the old gasket out without destroying the cover!….That's what we need to see!

Can my Endeavor get oil in the rear plugs from an valve cover gasket that is bad? Or is it a leaking o'ring?
Thank you,

adriangs-t parada says:

Great video, well explained, thank a lot

arsen grigoryan says:

did you have any smoke coming from the exhaust from the first startup after this?

WayneGlensky 99 says:

ok so I did all of this and changed my valve cover gasket and put everything back together no problem. Now I have changed a coil and a spark plug on the cylinder 1 and my car wont stay started. It turns over and starts but dies out in 3 seconds. any ideas on what maybe the problem?

WayneGlensky 99 says:

WOW! I'm about do this tomorrow night to a 2006 Endeavor. Seems pretty straight forward. I hope they are basically the same engine.

Tamika Christie says:

Is this why my car stops when idling? My neighbor and I pulled out the top three spark plugs and they were caked in oil. so he found this video and we are going to tackle this this weekend. I really dont have a lot of money to put into this so hopefully this helps.

Mike Diaz says:

Hi. How long would the back three valve cover gaskets and coils last if you change them and seal it correctly with OEM?

Thomas Richman says:

I don't know who you are brother, but I want to thank you for this video. Last year I went to change the plugs and bought the valve cover kit and was ready to change the seals to deal with the oil leaking in the front and in the plug tubes and I saw the front cover on top of the left sides of the valve covers and said hell no I ain't taking the whole front cover with the pulleys, belts, etc. might as well do the timing belt at that point. So I just did the plugs, knowing they're gonna get oiled up again. A year later now I watched your video and was like, shoot howdy I was so close I could have did them. I bought the seals and successfully changed them out this weekend. Only pain in the rear was those old seals were rubber baked on tight and took hours to get off. I suggest anyone doing this to get a thin blade flat screwdriver and work it under there and rock it left right, left right as you push. Wear gloves or its a palm blister. Anyway, thanks again for helping to give the courage to do this job.

Richie Hayes says:

Excellent video. Thank you. I wish that I had seen this before I worked on mine!
