- 3.5 Valve Covers 2016 Ford F150 3.5 Eco Boost
Today Laura talks about a 2016 Ford F150 in our shop that had leaking valve cover gaskets. After finishing gasket repair, the leaking problem persisted. Ford's composite valve covers are notorious for warping, so we found aftermarket aluminum covers to do the job right! While this is not meant to be a tutorial, Laura explains the problem in more depth, & how her process fixed the issue. We hope that this video is helpful to you by sharing our own experience & conclusion of this problem! Thanks for Watching! Subscribe, Like & Share! We Appreciate Your Support!

Magnificent work. A W😮W factor of 10/10. Have an awesome week.
Thanks @JoSh-oo-Ah. Hope you have an awesome week too!
You did well in drying to fix a very annoying issue with a relative modern vehicle .I really dislike these plastic valve covers, they tend to work to a certain degree. However with old age and many heat cycles the plastic becomes so bad you can no longer use the part. One thing also that kills these is a incorrect way of torque them down. Ofc you can get a new one however a fair warning some of these valve covers can go as high as 600$. Lot of the after market valve covers are different as seen in the video, it's not only Ford it's applies to almost anything these days. Honestly the old alloy and steel valve covers where way superior over the plastic ones.
Very good points @SuperMAZ007. Thanks for posting!
@@hopfammedia No problem, videos like these are always fun to watch. Dealt with leaky BMW valve covers and it's not only German cars that suffer from it. One more thing: careful where you get your valve cover gaskets, some unknown brands can be fake. Meaning in less than a year your new gasket is rock hard and it leaks again.
Before installing read the shop manual cause some manufacturers do not allow or recommend using RTV sealant or silicone to install the gasket. While some others do allow it. So here the rule 9 times measure once cut, stands true.
There are some plastic valve covers that held up amazingly with age such as the ones on the 4.6L Ford Modular V8 engine.
