Can someone help me out and find valve cover torque specs for a 02 explorer it has the v6 in it I believe. My aunt has 2 kids and can't run the heat without smelling oil.

Ford 2.9L V6 Valve Cover Torque Specs | eHow.com

 

^ it has a 4.0l SOHC not a 2.9 the torque specs should be like 12lbs

 

Thanks guys. Y'all got any tips on installing em? Last time I did one was on my old s10 4cyl and I couldn't keep the holes lined up or gasket.

They should be rubber and the valve cover will have a grove for the gasket to sit in. If they are cork, spread a little grease on the valve cover then put the gasket on. The grease will hold the gasket.

 

they are a rubber gaskit that clips to the bottom of the valve cover as far as tips go make sure to keep the plug wires clear i pinched one under the cover on my mom exploder and it caused a oil fire the the leaking oil

 

I had a cork one on my s10 they are a pain but the set I'll get for hers is rubber. I might do it this weekend. The shop wanted $500 for it the parts are just $20
