2007 to 2012 Nissan Altima valve cover and spark plugs DIY How to w/audio

[@deitricgiles1565]

My comment is LONG OVERDUE, but let me say that back in January my GF’s car was throwing codes about a week after paying for front end work by a Nissan tech who works on the side (around $1,000). I can’t remember the codes but the simplest solution was to change the spark plugs/ignition coils. I’m no mechanic but I figured I could do that. So I begin and realize oil is leaking from the valve cover, and I’m scrambling trying to figure it out. Then I find your video. What a GODSEND! I’ve never seen such a detailed video for such an in-depth repair. I was in such awe that watched the video at least two or three times to make sure nothing was being left out. I had to stop here and there to wait on parts/tools, but we have a backup car so that was ok. Your instructions saved us a ton of money and educated me as well. Brother, you are AMAZING at what you do. I can’t thank you enough!!

[@Dave-ve7ue]

Man if every automotive tutorial was like this no one would need a mechanic. I have a 2008 Altima 2.5 and this video is going to save me a lot of money. Thanks for taking the time to set this up!

[@sonofhebrews]

You are the man! This is an incredibly detailed video on how to change out this gasket. You went over a couple of things that I just could not find any other video. Thank you for uploading this definitely subscribing.

[@DougCanney1]

Dude, this was awesome! This is the first video I’ve seen that dealt with that motor mount system. Also, it’s good to adhere to the torque specifications on that valve cover. Most people aren’t as experienced as you are, best to follow the specs. You could get that valve cover, with new bolts and valve cover gasket for about 40 bucks on eBay. Just make sure you don’t buy the super cheapest one. You should never try to gap iridium plugs, you could check them, but you should never touch the contact with a gapper. You are absolutely correct, spark plugs, brand new not with the right gap happen sometimes. Best to check them while you’re still in the store. Just had a customer that I had to replace them twice because of it. Half of the 2009 Altima’s have a replaceable PCV valve, the other half are built into the valve cover. If you’re buying a new valve cover, always buy the one with the replaceable. you definitely know your stuff bad, new subscriber.

[@Autofixpals]

well thank you Doug.

[@metalslugmasters]

Hi, this is a great video. Nobody has posted out how to change these parts, not even on forums. The design difference with previous models made it easier to change these parts. Now, with the new design on the 07-12 we have extra work removing the engine bracket. You mentioned key points like the hoses that break easily, the seals cannot be serviced [auto part stores don't know about it, they still sell seals you don't need]. You removed the alternator for easy access, valve cover comes with pcv valve pre -installed, the cylinder affected is common on these models.

[@Autofixpals]

metalslugmasters absolutely! I'm glad you liked the video..be sure and subscribe 😀

[@MIT2004]

When did he remove the alternator?

[@kenstogie]

mitino aiken he didn't afaik.

[@thepetehill]

Fantastic video. I changed plugs and all sorts of oil came out of the 1-2-3 plug tubes. Now it’s off to Nissan for the cover and gasket. Thank you!!!

[@JameyTiffee]

THANK YOU - Great video what a time saver!! I am hung up trying to figure out what to do about the alternator? I noticed that it is just gone but not talked about, that I can find. FYI.. to comments that say the designer should be fired. What you are not getting is that they did their job as required by the manufacturer! They design the difficulty into the cars now! Why would they do that? (Seems crazy huh.) Because if it is harder to do fewer DYI peeps like us and more people reliant on the dealership for repairs. Repairs that are harder, by design, so they can charge more for them. I am over 50 and when I was a teen I did all my own car work because I couldn't afford anything else plus it was pretty easy. Now NOTHING is easy because it is designed to not be. Thanks again for the video!

[@blackcanyongarage]

If you are at around 100k, it's good to do those two mounts at the same time so you don't have to do double work! Great video, well spoken and informative.

[@Autofixpals]

Thats a great idea. Your already in there might as well.

[@flowerhour9539]

I do a lot of my own DIY stuff in the house, but I'm not experienced under the hood. I'm a 54y.o. female who would totally do it if I had more experience. But by looking at your Excellent very detailed instructional video I can tell that I better get someone to do this who knows what they are doing. Thats fine. I don't mind paying for good work. I will, however, like, subscribe, and share though. I just might get more confidence to tackle my 2012 Nissan Altima in the future thanks to you. Thanks!

Probably the best tutorial I've ever used.

[@dcasi8113]

Awesome video! I just wanted to ask a question, so I have oil in a spark plug well and I was wondering if replacing the Valve cover would be the fix? Or how do I know that the gasket for the spark plug in the value cover is bad? Thanks in advance. If anyone else has some knowledge on this, I would greatly appreciate it.

[@Autofixpals]

changing the valve cover and gasket will fix the oil in the spark plug wells. You know its bad because its allowing oil to get into the spark plug tubes.

[@dcasi8113]

Ok thank you for the help. Keep up the good work! I wish all other “how to videos” were this good.

[@cesarchahin3914]

Thank you so much. This was "THE MOST" thorough tutorial video I found on KZbin for this specific issue and Make/Model...very detailed.

[@flyinlo1474]

Do you happen to know or able to get the correct names to the hoses on top of the valve cover? They are two different sizes and I am having a hard time finding replacements. I broke the passenger side hose like you did. It was brittle as heck! The larger one on the drivers side did not break but I want to just yank the old one off and put a new one on there. thanks for the video!!

[@Autofixpals]

Breather hoses i believe is what they are called. Most Dealers can pull up a picture so you can point it out.

I have oil leaks inside the spark plug tubes on 07 altima,is it caused by rubber grommets?

This is a dumb question but you have all these different tools listed.. realistically I can buy a set of sockets and a drill that fits them (10mm, 14mm, 16mm, 18mm) and be fine right? There is a necessary difference in torque on the different impact drills you listed?

[@Autofixpals]

You can get the job done with hand tools too. But thats no fun 😒.. Drill wont remove the bigger fasteners but it might work on the Valve cover bolts.

[@benjaminschmitt3225]

@@Autofixpals I bought a 20v 1/2 in. hex Hercules impact driver. That sob wasn't even close to strong enough to get any of the bolts loosened. You must have a mammoth of a driver........

May have taken me three hours but it saved me $1800 (I replaced all coils and plugs also as an oil leak ruined 2 of them). You're the GOAT.

[@Autofixpals]

My Friend's '08 Altima was missing.... he went to a real rip-off mechanic who read the code and told him to replace the plugs & coils and PVC value & hose....wanted $1k to do it... Crazy... I ordered in the parts and we broke it down... and changed the coils and plugs... but found some oil in one of the plugs. I don't live near by.... so we put everything back together and it ran ok... but now getting an occasional miss again (no engine code (yet!))--- So... Question is... if I find the time to get the valve cover & gasket and now break things all the way down...Do I need to change the coil that has some oil in it? (for a few bucks.. I'll get a new spark plug...) but do I need to change the others.... only a couple hundred miles since the coil/plug change. --and should I do the mounts too? Don't want to rip this thing apart 3 times...! Thanks! (and great video)

[@cheechd1964]

Absolutely! -- I subscribed the first time I watched the video a few weeks ago. On my 2007 Nissan Altima I had to replace the valve cover with new seal, all spark plugs and all ignition coils. Something I did differently than your video was, I smeared a light coat of WD-40 on the tube seals with my fingers before mounting the valve cover. It helped the seals fit right on the tubes with little effort while I was checking all around to make sure the cover seal did not come off the rail. Similar to your video, my case was coil #2 with the fault, switched it to another position and the fault followed the coil. However, after trying 7 different coils from different companies resulting in having the same fault I decided to replace all the coils with the Nissan OEM upgrades (22448-1KT1A) to the ones that came with my car from factory (22448-JAOOA) which the upgrades were the same as the ones on your video and also installed all new Nissan spark plugs 22401- JA01B. So far so good but if I run into any other issues with misfires after this, I will share. I have no doubt your video has helped a boat load of folks out there. Keep it up my man! Super job on the video!

[@cheechd1964]

To clarify, I used the upgrade coils (22448-1KT1A), not the old model that came with the car (22448-JAOOA). Don't want to get folks out there confused. definitely go with the upgraded coils if using Nissan OEM for 2007 Altima.

[@nini6823]

Today I worked on my 09 Altima's engine valve cover, following the shop service manual. It requires torques to be applied to the bolts on the cover in two steps: 1) 17 in lb 2) 74 in lb. and in a particular order, almost like criss-cross pattern, tightening bolts in linearly pattern is not recommended, as well as with over or under torquing these bolts, which may lead to undesire effects down the road. The same go with engine mount bolts. I torqued the nut on the verticle mount to 76ft lb; 63 ft lb for the center bolt of the right side engine mount and 37 ft lb for all the bracket bolts as specified in the manual. Disclaimers: this is strictly my interpretation and understanding of the information on the manual. In no way, will it be used as instruction or advice to apply to any part of your work.
