2011Nissan Navara/Frontier d40/Cylinder Head Gasket Replacement Yd25 PART 1

[@jamesward5721]

Lol... I've just walked in from doing one about 2 hours ago. "We're going to off..." and then it's off.. :-) Good luck with that, :-) I do these for a living & you ain't "offing" much on them without a battle. Just as a minor example - the 4 studs holding the turbo to the manifold - those ain't coming out without at least 3 breaking off. Not happening. They will unwind a few threads, then lock solid & break. Always. The heat shields? Some of the 10mm bolts will come out, most won't, they'll just round off & do your head in. These are one of the toughest engines going to do a head gasket on - I know because I do them & sod all other places want to have anything to do with them.

Is it necessary to remove the camshafts just to replace head gasket?

[@Bipolar_Bear7774]

Its called top overhaul.

[@jirikotraba841]

Thank you..are you going to change timing chains too?

[@carfix1993]

No just head gasket

[@rsixsta]

⁠whys that? How many ks?

[@carfix1993]

@rsixsta 200000km head gasket leak

[@rsixsta]

⁠thanks mate.. I've just bought this yd25 07 and it's pressuring thru the tank..it's done 250,000. It looks pretty straightforward thanks mate..nothing to watch out for?

[@carfix1993]

@rsixsta yes problem is headgasket blowing

[@rogerfroud300]

Remember this when you next say that BEVs are not very good. Electric motors and transmissions are going to last way longer than these archaic devices.

I duno. My truck did 340,000ks before the head gasket blew. It was fairly simple to change as seen in this video. Cost under $200 to do the job. Should be good for another 340,000 ks. Can't say the same about a battery in a car. You'll be lucky if it lasts 100,000ks and then expect it to cost thousands to replace 🤷‍♂️. Don't get me wrong electric cars are fine, but don't make them out to be something they're not. Every car has some issue.

How to remove manifold / turbo studs

[@acgolem]

Carefully 😂. Na, just oil them up a day or so before and they should come off. If not try heat them and melt wax on them.
