Cam phaser fix = oil leak = new valve covers

bobward757 · Sep 16, 2022

So, got the cam phaser campaign done. No problems with THEM.
However, slight oil leak rear right valve cover. Did the tech not seat the new gasket properly? Who knows…
ANYWAY, Ford has new valve covers for the 4th Gen 3.5 motors….

So if you smell burning oil with or without the cam phaser campaign, Ford has new valve covers for you.

I also had a Valve cover replaced after CP's done. Prolonged the return of the vehicle but those things happen. Better recognizing a fault before being returned than having oil leaking on my garage floor and bringing it back.

Is there a separate campaign/TSB for this, or is it part of the CP fix?

I have exact same issue after cam phasers replaced

Will be interested to know the answer to JAMADOR's question as I'm picking mine up today with new phasers installed. Anybody have a picture of where to keep an eye on for this?

Mine was rear right corner. Can’t see but can definitely smell. If you did phasers under warranty the covers should be under the same warranty deductible

Thanks for the reply, will make sure to keep an eye [nose] to that once mine gets the CP replaced.

Just wait to do the Phazers till the valve covers are ready. There’s a 3 month backup nationwide according to my dealership

My CP appt is early November, will ask about this as well when I take it in.

I truly recommend talking to your service advisor and having ham order the part now. I’ve been waiting five weeks so far
