VALVE COVER GASKET REPLACEMENT!

[@gerardohernandez8328]

Soy el único aquí que habla español 🥺 ojalá y no, excelente video, saludos desde México 🇲🇽 , tengo un mazda3 y gracias a ti he aprendido mucho 😀

[@christopherrich5621]

GREAT job on the video. The reason I was replacing mine is because of oil in the spark plug tubes. One tube was dry and the other three have oil in them and that means the gaskets need replacement. This was an extremely helpful video with the diagrams and the step by step of how to remove all the different clips that hold things on the cover. Bolts are kind of obvious how to take out - the various clips are more of an adventure. Thanks!

[@sarahfoxphotography]

Awesome! You are my hero -- no dirty nails, no greasy hands, no scraped knuckles, no dirty clothing. I'm awe-struck. My partner is impressed too. Girl power! ;-)

[@realwordsoftruth]

i know its old, but that is a clean engine. looks like oil was probably drained too

[@RAMCO840]

Im going to try this on my 2.3 mazda5 . Don't know if I should cry or Thank you for doing this video. It's very helpful to people who don't know anything about mechanical stuff on autos. You should put a donation page to support your videos, just keep them coming. May God bless you a millions.

[@mikefettig3045]

Thank you for the video. Just did this on a 2005 Mazda 6i at 90k miles. The bolt tightening sequence was really helpful. My Chiltons book didn't even have it. It was also a pleasure to watch you, too!

[@traviskurtz7631]

Awesome video! Very detailed and I really appreciated the photos with numbers (for the 14 8mm bolts) and the photos of the bolts you were taking out when they couldn't really be seen on the video. I successfully changed the valve gasket cover on my 2009 Mazda 3 thanks exclusively to your video. Thank you!

[@jb1239]

Thank you so much for this video! I just tackled this project over the weekend on my 2004 2.3 hatch. It took me a bit of time, mostly because I've never attempted a repair like this before. But, your detailed instructions made it simple. I had a really hard time getting the yellow plastic clips off, as well as some of the other switches. Mostly because my car is 12 years old with 170K on it.
Another thing to note...five of the 8mm bolts came out the entire way, I'm not sure if this was supposed to happen or not. The others stayed in. Once all the bolts were removed/loose, the valve cover itself would not budge. I hit it with the rubber mallet a few times but ended up using the pry end of a hammer on the front right to get it off. Thanks again!!

[@surreal75yt32]

Thank you very much. I just did this today on 2013 Mazda 3i.

[@bestclarkesspot]

The best video I have ever seen replacing the Mazda valve cover gasket. Very good instructions.

[@gordonblues843]

Love it. Engine maintenance in a white sweater and no gloves...

[@JAI45624]

SHE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB ON EXPLAINING AND REPLACING VALVE COVER GASKET

[@moiseshernandez-xr8mf]

nice teacher helps to get pumped for the job, gracias linda

[@jah3205]

Thank you for this video. I started doing this on my 2010 Mazda 3 and was just about to quit but then I found this video and was able to finish without having to pay an expensive mechanic.

[@devenp2069]

You made it look so easy. After watching you, I'm inspired to do the same on my 2015 Mazda6. Appreciate the detailed procedure.

[@cleartruth101]

That was a great straight forward and detailed video. The car looked brand new with not a spot of dirty. I know with an older car which is when a gasket needs replacing, can be harder and be prepared to get your hands dirty, bolts may be harder to get off, and the old gasket really needs to be stripped out (which sometimes requires scrapping and such, before the new gasket is put in to adhere properly. For sure that seal has to be tight. Anyway it would make for a more labour intensive and dirty job.

[@teddysrandomstuff60]

You are the best! And because of you’re video I was able to do mine yesterday to my 2012 Mazda 5!

[@TheMayonnayse]

Always disconnect the battery terminals before unplugging any other terminals on the vehicle, including the coil packs/spark plugs. If you do not disconnect the battery you have a risk of short circuiting other systems when you unplug connectors.

[@intercoursechef]

You are my new hero! I'm just learning how to DIY on my 08 Mazda. This video is exactly what I needed! You are a life and wallet saver!

[@kevinomit]

Nice!! Love the detail in the video thanks

[@MegaHery17]

Segundo en hablar español aquí y no entender ni papas el ingles pero que mucho aprendo con esta chica hermosa es una inspiración para arreglar mi mazda 3 que tanto miedo tengo hacerle mecanica gracias 👍

[@kalihipinoy]

Thanks for posting! Your next DIY should be replacing the PCV valve and hose.

[@zahh6083]

excellent video compare to other videos available online. simple and easy to understand. welldone.

[@Bambam022]

Thank you finally found a video for my car's valve cover

[@span2413]

Easy to follow, super helpful, thanks!

[@YourMiddleBroPhil]

You rock thanks for your help!

[@car5534]

Simple n easy to understand. Thank you.

[@setonas23]

Did this four times on mine and after the third time i noticed that my valve cover is actually cracked so had to get new one and replace it, but it all turned out fine and she runs very well :)

[@chrisdelgado3530]

I'm speechless. Great video.

[@martincollection3376]

This is definitely amazing, like it👍👍👍

[@brnschr]

Love this channel! Awesome job, as a technician, I still can't figure out how you kept your hands so clean? Very Meticulous work. I'm sure that will hold up for many miles to come

[@kennethroberts801]

Fantastic video! Very beneficial and enjoyable.

[@imHim710]

I just found my new favorite CZcams channel

[@SeanSterling]

lol thanks, i wanted to do mine once the weather clears up here. Thanks for the diagram, that was a big help.

[@gnicholson420]

Thank you so much for this video. I just replaced my valve cover gasket with no problems or guess work on the bolt pattern or torque.

[@chikodamian3096]

[@hmsmedia2005]

Nice job! You didn’t even wore gloves! 👍🏼

[@Phobia7495]

Nice video . Cant wait for your next video.

[@jm-ve5fb]

Excellent video

[@hiythamshaban9846]

Excellent knowledge

[@colesullivan7124]

great video! just one comment on torque sequences. one and two mixed up is common mistake. but first pass should not be at final torque as it can cause small pinches in your brand new gasket and prematurely wear. just a good tip to go 2 passes one at half. other than that you guys and gals. are awesome

[@sinisini5168]

Well done. Very good job.

[@cammerondrager5874]

Very good tutorial. Thank you

[@freshlymade3932]

Awesome job!

[@rdsspearfishingadventurer]

Thanks for sharing thins video
Now i know to fix my bike🙏🏻

[@1969camaro]

Nice work ❤

[@stevevarcoe2555]

This was an excellent instruction video. Well thought out, planned and executed. Great job guys. I couldn't get over that you did all that work on an engine wearing white long sleeved outfit - I was expecting it to be covered in grease by the end ;)

[@intercoursechef]

+Steve Varcoe Lol! I know! And a perfect manicure!

[@th3p00r5]

a beautiful mechanic, I'll bring my car to your shop to fix every day.

[@andypower31]

if you havnt already can you install an aftermarket boost gauge. i'm finding it a real pita in to do and your video's are really good.

[@JohnnyTsunami808]

Wow thank you so much! Very informative

[@ConcealedArtLeather]

Great vid! Very helpful. Thanks a lot!

[@lonestardieselz1863]

Wow im going to have my girlfriend sit down , watch your videos and take notes.... jeje great job with your channel

[@paulmacdannald]

Excellent video!

[@voltairesevilla4165]

can you start the engine after replacing everything and is there a setting period for the sealant?

[@rickmorseii6749]

Nicely done👍

[@carchannel9223]

Very good Video, thanks!!

[@ivantorr]

What about the Valve cover gasket on a 2008 Mazda5? Is it the same concept to the video you have here on the 2005 Mazda5?

[@mmmbetter55]

Should be exactly the same. The Mazda5 is a Mazda3 with a taller roof and only available as an Automatic.

[@michaelhennegan9637]

Nice detail.

[@PotatosPotatoes]

You just changed the valve cover gasket wearing a white shirt without getting your hands dirty
O_o

[@Harryofalltrades]

A valve cover gasket is not a head gasket. The head gasket sits between the cylinder head and the engine block.

[@PotatosPotatoes]

Ugh... Yeah. I know. Just said the wrong thing. I've replaced a head gasket on an Audi before, so I know what that entails.

[@adhnaanyusuf8211]

You right some one helping her

[@seanharrison7181]

I get filthy by just looking at an engine nevermind pulling the thing apart

[@BAMTASTIC711]

lol thats what im saying the engine looked as hell

[@huarachero2141]

Hola ,Gracias por subir videos de tips para Mazda, pero quisiera que subieras algo sobre fallas del canister de Mazda 6 mod. 2007....

HOW DOES SHE DO THIS WITHOUT GLOVES AND KEEP HER HANDS SPOTLESS?

[@adhnaanyusuf8211]

I know rite women

[@BAMTASTIC711]

car was detailed before she did that lol it didnt look like their was oil inside the vale cover

[@ealba3939]

wow your great. great Job girl...

[@gv39109yt]

Wow. I think i'm in love

[@SR-lz7kl]

A beautiful girl that can work on cars, I'm in love too : ) Great vid!

[@tdrewman]

Looks like the same engine on a 2010 Ford Focus. Real simple, looks like I will be taking out an hour of the weekend to do it.

[@heyitschinoable]

Ford owned and might still own Mazda.

[@SnowleopardPearl]

2006 and up its your basic 2.0/2.3 duratec

[@johmirtorres3350]

I'm in love

[@scotcook5]

Thanks for the vid. How about a video on replacing the PCV valve?

[@freddyzavalaquezada8702]

Excelent video! All your videos about mazda 3 are very good. Excuse me what is the torque for this?

[@klausthefish]

the 2011 mazda 3 valve cover bolts do not say in the cover they can come out. Did i miss something? they all were hand undone until they were free then i pulled them up expecting the lock in place that you mention.

[@SUomiist]

Amazing 😍

[@tonykib9452]

Glad I rewatched this video. My spark plugs were surrounded by oil unlike your engine. Red flag, better pull the plugs and see how they look too.

[@kennethsanchez7683]

Tony Kib hey there. I just replaced my old spark plugs, I found that 2 out of 4 spark plugs had quite a bit of oil, what does that mean? And what should I do?

[@kazuyafukushige4971]

Nice video!!

[@dyzine1studios344]

SO MOTIVATED TO SEE A WOMAN DO THIS I AM A MAN AND IM INTIMIDATED BY CAR ENGINE ...BUT SEEING YOU DO THIS MAKES ME MOTIVATED TO TAKE IT ON!

i kinda love watching your videos..you r cute. im a diy guy who does just about anything and everything by my self..i do take a lot of tips from youtube video.

[@johnsims7553]

awesome video

[@7eduardoep]

Are you fucking serious what were engineers thinking? It literally takes me less than 3minutes to replace the valve cover gasket on my 91 accord its literally 4 10mm bolts and that's it. Not all these shenanigans.

[@specialistemu9579]

CB7Eduardo I love my Mazda... but yeah sometimes these things don't make sense. This isn't too bad, PCV valve is a nightmare though.

[@zanew07]

If this bothers you then you need to check out how to replace the thermostat on this vehicle.

[@tylerhaslam2083]

Every time I work on my Mazda 6 I get the feeling that they were trying on purpose to make it difficult to work on. it's like they're trying to force me to take it to the dealer. Heck, you need a specialized fitting just to change the oil filter. Everything about it is so 'special.'

[@mikefettig3045]

Did that! Try changing the PCV valve. Have to remove the intake manifold and the radiator!

[@rosesolon9243]

Hi there
Great video
I was wondering, I just did the rocker cover gasket myself, while you were torqing down the bolts for the gasket, did you cone across the 2 middle bolts bolted all the way down.
That's what i noticed when I started to un bolt them from the start, as if they were bolted down all the way.
So with the new one, I just hand tight the outside bolts, except the 2 middle they had to be bolted down all the way.
Did you end up with the same results ??
thank you

[@fatho8852]

I got a little bit of carbon/dirt in the head while cleaning the gasket area, is this a huge deal? no big pieces just a small amount of dust

[@pacificislander5977]

AWSOME VIDEO

[@user-pc8yy9wn7q]

Hi, I have a 2008 ford fusion 2.3L and I'm wondering if this is the same procedure. The engines seem to be the same. I need to replace my valve cover gasket and I'm hoping to do it along with my next oil change.

[@ryanm6850]

Mauricio Gonzalez this task usually only takes like 30 minutes on most cars. you'll have it done in no time and wondering why you were dreading it at all

[@odahay]

It'll proabably take a novice at least an hour, especially if you don't have all the tools and items you need already. Give yourself 3 hours and maybe you'll finish early.

[@SnowleopardPearl]

took me about 25 minutes to do mine.. but it took about 5 minutes to pick the petrified seal out of the valve cover in chunks. mine is the 2.0 focus duratec

[@craigzilla100]

Exact same engine. Mazda and Ford have shared the 2.3L engine for many years. I have a Mazdaspeed 6. Mine only has a few more steps than this because of the top mount intercooler.

[@ledmk2]

Nice vid

[@timwestlake2197]

Didn't even break a nail.....impressive.

[@ncase2301]

Hi, the drill you're using looks like a Makita brand. Did that come with the sockets & other attachments or did you purchase separately? Thanks. Great video!

[@killingmon]

This is a hell of a lot easier that my Mazda 6 V6

[@justinmojica1977]

I don't know what type of career you have for a living. I recommend you should take a course on Auto Mechanics so you can become a full ASE Certified Auto Mechanics women. You seem to have made videos of half of every Auto Maintenance.
Good job.

[@GambanJasonC]

Shouldn't the silicon glue be used on the valve cover in the corners underneath the gasket to hold it in place?
