When checking the vvel motors do the motors rotate freely? Or do they have resistance, not sure if my motors are froze up

one question do you think if my car was knocking then knocked out do you think the bearing is seized i just dont see how the pistons could be in anyway effected if i changed the bearing should it go back to normal even if i have a siezed bearing
@cloverops2922 ай бұрын
When you use the wrench to rotate the holes to line up, do you know if this is possible without the entire engine open? I needed to replace that entire assembly but my bolt holes do not line up but I don’t feel like stripping it down that far. Thanks.

Hi Garage Fanatic .hopefully u can help me I've had changed my head gasket on my vq37vhr and then putting my engine back together. Then fire it up car is start up smoothly. But the problem im having is that there is no acceleration 0 rpm and is feel l like when im accelerate its blowing air out from the intake any ideas why?
@TheMrTitussАй бұрын
Sounds like you messed up the timing and had a piston bend a valve, do a compression test and find out which cylinder it is.

You used a red grease on lower timing chain , upper chains , also , looks like Redline , are sprockets and tensioners for the cams new , cams , also the crank gear , most of the stuff looks new , did you replace the oil pump , great work , i got a HR , gonna’ try to rebuild it ,
@garagefanatic78302 ай бұрын
For this engine, I kept the stock oil pump and added a small Boundary Engineering shim to slightly increase oil relief pressure. Also, yes, I use Redline assy lube for every build. It's fantastic stuff.

@garagefanatic78302 ай бұрын
They're all in the FSM for a 370Z. All of the 10mm bolts will be between 8-11 ftlbs if I remember correctly. Always consult with the FSM.

What's the torque specs for the vvl cam? The 8 10mm screws on top of the cam tower I had a friend helping me tear a motor apart and I forgot to mention to him not to remove those screws but all he did was loosen them out. He did not remove the cap
@garagefanatic78302 ай бұрын
I don't recall the torque specs being listed in the FSM for those bolts but they're the same size as the rest on the cam tower so I'd stick with that and you should be fine.

Thank you brother, for these videos/ teachings. You are truly appreciated. ❤️. Question: after I removed my timing chain guides and tensioner. I was trying to remove the chain from the intake gears and crankshaft my gears spun two times. I also noticed that my lifters move. Do you think that I might have messed something up? 🤔 Edit: the driver/right side cam sprockets was giving me a bit of a hard time to get off after I secured the tensioner. The chain kept getting stuck into the guide groove... so I put a flat dinner knife between the tensioner and the chain. That made it a lot easier to come off.

@garagefanatic783011 ай бұрын
It's sitting up high because the camshaft lobes are in a position to compress the valves. As long as you are in the correct degree range with the pistons and camshaft positions you're fine.
