Replying to: 2004lincolnls (Aug 31, 2009 5:15 pm) What is this letter that you got from Lincoln? My 2004 LS just had to have a coil replaced and now it looks like maybe I shouldn't have had to pay for it. Please let me know because we are now starting to experience more problems with it.

Replying to: plogman (Oct 08, 2009 7:22 am) Your coils are getting soaked with oil because they are located in the center of the plastic valve cover. This plastic (composite) valve cover has o-ring type seals around each spark plug hole - this hole fills with oil because the plastic heats up and does not exert enough pressure to maintain the proper seal !! FORD HAS A BETTER IDEA. I think that was their slogan - what a joke. There needs to be a cast aluminum valve cover like the Japan made cars. I like the car but I can't trust it on long trips because of this engineering flaw !!!!!!!!! Replies to this message: akirby (Oct 09, 2009 6:17 am) toomanyfumes (Oct 10, 2009 4:36 am)

Replying to: pipsqueek (Oct 08, 2009 6:44 pm) The problem is the gasket, not the valve covers. Replacing with a new gasket fixes the problem permanently. Has nothing to do with the valve covers themselves. Replies to this message: toomanyfumes (Oct 10, 2009 4:36 am)

Replying to: akirby (Oct 09, 2009 6:17 am) On the 2004 there might not be a valve cover gasket leak. I think by then they used a different gasket that lasts longer. Sometime the coils will just fail.

Replying to: rut1 (Jun 29, 2009 6:46 pm) Replace the spark plugs and seals and to be super safe might as well replace the COP as well. That way the you wont have problems for another 50+ thousands miles without problems. I had the same problem with my car every time it rained. If you do not then the catalytic converters may get damaged...Dont risk it.

Replying to: leota (Jul 14, 2009 8:47 pm) This seems to be a case of "process elimination": they dont know WTF is wrong withe car, but start changing parts and HOPE it fixes the problem, if not then keep replacing parts until it does fix the problem...the nightmare of all modern computerized vehicles. All this technology available and mechanics still cant pinpoint wtf is wrong with a car. Now I bet you try to do the same for an airliner and the problem is pinpointed in minutes with the same technology.
