Valve Cover - RH: Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Remove the RH ignition coils. For additional information, refer to ENGINE IGNITION - 4.6L (3V) .
  2. Detach the wiring harness retainer from the engine front cover stud bolt.
  3. Disconnect the RH variable camshaft timing (VCT) solenoid electrical connector.
  4. Disconnect the PCV tube from the RH valve cover.
  5. Detach the 3 wiring harness retainers from the valve cover stud bolts.
    6. CAUTION: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of old sealant.
  6. Loosen the 14 fasteners and remove the RH valve cover and gasket.
    • Clean the valve cover mating surface of the cylinder head with silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Follow the directions on the packaging.
