How to Replace the Valve Cover Gasket on the Ford Fiesta?

Model: Ford Fiesta MK 7, MK VII, Fiesta 7 - Years 2017-2023
Part: Checks and maintenance

To replace the valve cover gasket, open the bonnet to access the engine bay and loosen all the screws securing the valve cover. Once the screws are loosened, you can remove the cover and clean its interior with fuel. This will allow you to detach the gasket and clean its seating with a blast of compressed air. At this point, insert the new gasket into its seating and secure the cover in place. Reinsert the relevant bolts to secure the cover again.
