Good video. The correct way of saying it is it’s gallery not galley but good explanation overall. But I replaced mine on my IPL with 50k for preventative maintenance using eps tuning gaskets and hardware. The oem hardware stinks and is a known issue to have it back out along with the bad paper gasket. The Updated OEM isnt much better. The best way to tell if your gallery gasket is going is to oil pressure test on warm idol if it’s below double digit psi know it’s going out. Thanks and subbed

def the gallery gasket, i had the same codes.

[@ERICSDIYGARAGE]

You check the oil pressure at idle if it's lower than 20psi, and then yes it needs it but since you have those codes you probably also have a issue

[@nexus2lexus]

Keep in mind that when you check the oil pressure, the oil temp has to be 80° F for a proper idle reading. Hot idle temp should be 176° F

[@v36vhr]

​@nexus2lexus oil temp has to be 176 degrees when checking pressure. So once the oil temp is 176 degrees the pressure is checked at idle 750 rpms and has to be 14 psi or better. Then pressure is checked at 2k rpms and has to be 43 psi or better, still at 176 degrees

The car fires up what seams like normal but then instantly the idle jumps all up and down from 1200 to 300 until it dies a couple seconds later. To me it seams like it’s not getting gas. But I’m so lost. I had the fuel pump fuse out the entire project and I cranked it to gain chain tension. With the fuse back in I can’t get it to start :( so lost. And I hope I didn’t ruin my car.

Yes. I believe it was a false code. Ran a compression test and I got a dreadful 60 psi in my first cylinder. So stopped there and didn’t even bother testing the others. I believe my timing is off I possibly wasn’t at TDC. Not sure how the valves held up but they are most likely bent slightly. I’m doing some research on some jwt c2 cams since I will be taking apart the heads. Good chance I’ll take it to a shop for that. The car has manny mods and I can’t wait to have it back.

I was thinking about the radiator maybe? Could failure radiator fail to vacuum the coolant from the reservoir?

The overflow tanks designe on these vehicles is not great it should fill the radiator if it's running low, but they don't work well. I tell people to first fill the radiator where the radiator cap screw in and use a funnel to bleed the air out. If you don't have any coolant inside the radiator it's going somewhere. The engine oil doesn't have to have signs off coolant contamination the head gasket can still have a hairline Crack and consume coolant that way. I would take it to a mechanic to diagnose it for you

[@samo0golf]

@@ERICSDIYGARAGEthe radiator is emptying the coolant in the reservoir when it operats to normal tempreture. but then it doesnt gain back the over flowed water after the car cools down. that means there no enough vaccum to put the cap's safey lock down and allow water to go back to the radiator. i have to do that evey other day and pour the overflowed water back from reservoir to radiator with the same amount of water flowed. that indicates, there is no hose leak anywhere. im sure that there is no any leak. just the water doesnt go back to the radiator when the car cools down.

@@ERICSDIYGARAGE Well you have the camshaft position sensors and then you also have the VVT solenoids. The camshaft position sensors are on the upper part of the sprocket covers, whereas the variable timing solenoids are on the lower part. So that's 4 parts in total. If you've replaced the solenoids, I'd try replacing the camshaft position sensors next, otherwise do the solenoids first

[@ERICSDIYGARAGE]

yes I'm familiar I've replaced both the vvt solenoids and both camshaft sensors but it didn't make a difference

[@Luckyboyee777]

@@ERICSDIYGARAGE Last would be the 1 crankshaft sensor on the back of the engine, then it's on to wire harnesses for any small breaks or ground connection issues. Then lastly would be the ECM issue. I'm going thru this as well with a P0011 code. Need to check oil pressure to see if a gallery gasket is the potential issue. Sucks

​@ERICSDIYGARAGE does this make your car misfire and jump when coming off from a stop. I noticed my car cold is fine. Once it starts heating up I start jumping when I touch the gas pedal from a stop. Like a jerk

[@johnnyboii6193]

Great video dude! Just have one question, did you have to time the engine or set the timing at all? I saw one video on this job one time and the guy was setting the timing

[@nolanchurch7562]

Don't need to unless you mess up the timing while you're in there. If all you're doing is taking off the left tensioner to allow enough slack to reach these oil galleries then it's unlikely you'll mess up the timing

[@ferdinandanaejionu8466]

I just had the same code. It’s the vvt solenoid

[@adanarceo4636]

Hey brother, did you fix your g37 yet?. If not, did try to replace the vvt actuators, or at least clean them. That could be a possibility that is causing the issue.

[@ERICSDIYGARAGE]

I swap the front vvt solenoids multiple times with different one and it doesn't seem to make any difference are you referring to the vvt motor in the back of the engine

@@ERICSDIYGARAGE no. The solenoids in front of the engine. One controls the camshaft on bank 1,and the other on bank 2.

You did a bunch of work for nothing. I had the same issue with my frontier but I replaced the oil pump and cleaned the pick up tube the issue was fixed after that.

[@ERICSDIYGARAGE]

first of all, you have a different engine. Also, you dont have issues with gallery gaskets leaking. The issue this car has was a bad driver side camshaft sprocket that was stuck in the advance position. Not that you would know since, like I said, you have a totally different engine

[@drippingondezingadrippingo9248]

why didn't you check the fuel pressure to be sure it was the galley gasket before going through all this pointless work bro lol but did u ever figure out what was wrong with it ? hope u did man that really blows

Fuel pressure wouldnt cause the timing issue the car would run and drive fine after I cleared the code it ended up being the camshaft that was broken and stock in the advanced position at all time.
