WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 what year is your vehicle? Edge/MKX? 3.5/3.7L? The valve cover will have to come off. Easier to do bank 2 (radiator side) than bank 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Watch macbwt's video on how to take the valve cover off. Although on a 2011, basically the same process to take off on a 2008. 2011 has 2 VCT solenoids per bank since both intake and exhaust are variably controlled. 2008 only has 1 as only the intake is variably controlled. A new valve cover gasket is advised 7T4Z-6M280-C Control Valve Solenoid EDGE, MKX $83.37 $57.52 7T4Z-6584-B Valve Cover Gasket Valve Cover Gasket, RIGHT $14.53 $10.03 https://parts.levittownfordparts.com/auto-parts/2008/ford/edge/sel-trim/3-5l-v6-gas-engine/engine-cat/engine-parts-scat Removal and Installation Remove the LH or RH valve cover.

NzP Posted November 3 Report Share Posted November 3 (edited) I've got abnormal oil consumption - I added 1qt after 1300 miles. My aftermarket VVT solenoids get wet with oil on the top around connectors(got 'em from O'Reilly). Compression 10,5-11(the tool was loosing a rubber cone on its end). I've found that the thread on the spark plug was covered with oil. I replaced plugs 5k miles ago using aluminum anti seize on a thread - now it's oiled. No oil around the plug inside plugs chambers... Edited November 3 by NzP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
