Replying to: akirby (Sep 23, 2009 8:07 am) The mechanic told me that this is the final cost. 6 hrs labor - 270 gasket sets (from Ford) - 220 Transmission - 50 Spark Plugs - 60 PCV - 8 Fuel Filter - 20 10 qts trans fluid - 42 oil change with Mobil 1 - 40 Total - 710 I told him to go ahead because I don't know what else to do.

Replying to: iampattic (Sep 23, 2009 10:43 am) He must have meant Valve Cover Gasket leak - huge difference. The valve cover gasket is leaking oil into the spark plug wells - common problem. The problem is the misfire is caused by a bad COP (which is caused by the oil leak). So you'll need to replace at least one COP if not several to fix the problem.
