While driving ,the engine light came. We took the car to the dealership the next day. Service dept said that the valve cover allowed the oil to leak into the system. The repair cost was $636. 00. I asked the service man, how do we know this will not happen again? he replied, Ford designed a new valve cover that would prevent this from happening again.
The truck idles ruff. The wrong engine motor valve cover bolts were used at time of the truck being manufactured. As a result the bolts caused an oil leak in the engine. The dealership replaced the bolts. Please provide more details. There were eight bolts covered with plastic which melted and caused oil to enter the engine and run rough. Mechanic informed the consumer that many of these bolts have been replaced. The consumer feels Ford should cover the cost of repairs, not him.
