valve cover gasket

Has anyone changed the valve cover gasket on a 2021 Explorer with 2.3? I just had it at the dealer and they noticed the leak when they went to do spark plugs. They quoted me $1500 to do and said it was a bit of a job. I am used to working on cars and to me it doesn’t look that bad. I just wanted...

I've been searching and searching all over but cannot find the answer. I need to replace the valve cover gasket on my 2017 Explorer with the 2.3L Ecoboost i4 engine. The actual gasket replacement seems very straightforward - however, there are a couple of pipes running overtop of the area...

Hey guys, Blake here. SO here's the new issue with the Exploder. For some apparent reason, I am losing coolant all the time, but it's not usually in the ground, it's on the underside of the engine. I'm talking like a gallon every other day. I just recently installed my 3rd thermostat...

I recently repaired the valve cover gaskets. I got it all back together and .... P0201 - Fuel injector circuit condition - #1 P0205 - Fuel injector circuit condition - #5 P0171 - Fuel trim bank 1 / Bank 1 lean (probably a child code related to above) Has anyone seen this issue before? I...
