I have a 2001 ford f-150 with the 5.4l 2v engine that leaking oil from the headgasket how can I repair this without replacing the headgasket?
I would replace the valve cover gasket. I doubt it's coming from the cylinder head gasket.
I have replace the value cover gasket still leaking on the passenger side
ah ok I just realized this is an OHC engine. You could try a stop-leak product. It might help for a little while but no guarantees. A thicker oil could help slow down the leak. But a top end rebuild is the only cure I'm afraid. If the leak isn't too bad, and not making a huge mess, then you might consider living with it for now.
the engines has 343.000 on it I think i will just replace the headgasket I replace the timing chains 7 months ago
alright. Good luck with it. There seems to be plenty of info and videos about it on the internet.
rebuilding the top end want that put pressure on the bottom end component?
I wouldn't touch the engine block. That's a massive job.
I know changing the headgasket is a huge job but to fix the oil leak thats were i'm heading
