Nissan 350z & Infiniti G35 Valve Cover Gasket Replacement! VQ35DE RWD Engine

[@xiancortiz]

My crankcase Breather Hose cracked since it was very hard and brittle. I was not able to order the OEM, but found this Dorman PCV Hose Part # 46012 locally.

Thx for the tutorial!! My mechanic wanted $1600 while I did it myself for $300. This was also my first ever repair on a car so I recommend anyone out there to go watch this video thru a couple times and learn the repair themselves. You’ll save a lot of $$$ and learn a couple things.

Thank you for the video It was very helpful. The local shop I took the car to gave me a quote of $4200 to change my valve covers with coils and sparks plug. Just finished changing it myself and spent roughly $300 for the full project + my time. Highly recommend doing this yourself if you have the time.

[@damuhongmaldita]

Great idea with the fishing line! I think it will be even better if the knots are on the outside of the cover so the lines are easier to pull out while keeping the gasket seated.

[@audioamateur]

Great tutorial once again. The electric driver sure speeds things up. A quick tip I used when I did the valve covers on my previous Nissan: I sprayed a tiny bit of spray glue on the valve cover so that the gasket wouldn't fall out when installing it.

[@ERICSDIYGARAGE]

thanks for the tip it was frustrating so I'm sure people will find your tip useful

[@audioamateur]

@@ERICSDIYGARAGE For sure it helps a ton. The one thing you don't want is your gasket to move and get pinched! lol Kinda defeats the purpose of changing it in the first place :) I had a Maxima before owning my G35 and I did the rear valve covers on it... what a pain the rear! The longitudinal engine position makes it so much easier!

Was going to do this on a 2003 G35, had all the parts sitting ant home, just waiting on a non rainy cold day. Got rear ended at a traffic light, and the insurance company wrote off the vehicle.

[@victorvillasana3409]

Use weatherstripping glue. A dot of it, around each bolt hole will be enough. Dries very quickly. Once you set it down it won't move. It's right next to the silicone at the auto parts store. I use it on o-rings and gaskets that won't stay on by themselves.

[@norm-yk1xh]

you made a very good video for both 1st time diy'ers & professionals. you kept with the step-by-step procedure with little or no unnecessary talk. including the factory service manual pages with torque specs and other info was a nice touch. the only step i would've added was to cover the exposed intake manifold ports during assembly as well as disassembly. also, it wouldn't hurt (and is recommended) to cover up ALL holes & passages i.e. hose connections, etc. the blue tape you used works well since it comes off easier than electrical tape or similar. also, for all the work it takes to replace the vc gaskets, i would also replace the vc's themselves in order to get new spark plug tube seals. and a new pcv valve along with installing that catch can wouldn't hurt, either. i plan to keep my car indefinitely, so i don't care to all of this work a 2nd time in a short time because of a leaking tube seal. thanx again for your very good video

[@stealthg35infiniti94]

I used Victor Reinz 15-10107-01 gasket on 05 G35 and they stayed in the valve cover without falling out. No tape or string required. Also install new NGK LFR5AHX Ruthenium plugs.

Very cool video, well done! Two remarks though: 1) you are a brave man installing all those cover bolts with the intakes left open, ALWAYS stick some cloth in all of them while you work or one day you'll drop a bolt or a washer in there, and you'll be *****ed ;) 2) It would have been worth checking the valve clearances once you had the covers off, might as well do it now.

There is a popping sound coming from the exaust, and I smell gasoline when the car is running. The check engine light flashes when I drive so I know the issue is serious. I made all the proper connections, hoses, wires, and bolts. The new valve covers are intact, no leaks coming from them. The intake and throttle body are connected right. Plenum and manifold gasket were put back correctly. My guess is that the spark plugs/coils aren't properly installed. I had trouble extracting the plugs because my socket wrench wouldn't fit.

Excellent video partner. I need to do this repair on my G35, but I'm not really sure if I want to spend $1100 at the dealership for both valvle gaskets. I never did any repairs like this to my car. Do you think a noive may have a decent chance to do this? Thanks for the advice.

It's a few steps that you need to take when you guys are removing these valve covers and it can be a little bit challenging if you don't have the right tools. I know a few people have tried attempting to do this repair but got stuck because they didn't have the right tools so if you don't have a good set of tools I wouldn't recommend doing it because you're going to have your vehicle parked until you can get the tools that you need but if you have enough tools and you are handy enough you should be able to get it done without any issues take it one bolt at the time and you can also do it.

Idk if you found out yet but it’s only necessary to change out the valve covers if they are cracked, or the spark plug wells have oil because the gaskets for the spark plugs go bad. It’s also recommended to be changed every 100,000 miles, and if you’re buying new valve covers buy OEM don’t buy aftermarket.

[@ERICSDIYGARAGE]

If your spark plugs tube were leaking than you have to replace the entire cover it depends on what was the issue with your car. Did you buy oem covers if not that could be why it's leaking now. If you use the stock covers with a new gasket you won't have a issue but again your spark plu tube seals must be in good shape in order to re use

Found one for $8.63 with free shipping if anyone else is looking. It's a Dorman 46012 breather hose. www.walmart.com/ip/Dorman-Help-Carded-46012-Pcv-Valve-Tubing/151236550?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=101002903&&adid=22222222227052468871&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=152504575409&wl4=aud-834279576166:pla-265860129035&wl5=9003812&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=136582778&wl11=online&wl12=151236550&veh=sem&gclid=CjwKCAjwwab7BRBAEiwAapqpTFhGkk_MelaKN7qv7J59FeIgK0TWG_eA2P3V9njWh-xd3MTT_siQOxoCoQoQAvD_BwE

They do sell spark plug tube seals ! You just have to buy them separately. According to the auto part store.

Great video bro!.. Question, I'm having trouble getting the bolt off of the passenger side valve cover in the back,any suggestions on what tool to use because it's not much space at all back there, thanks

Get a small 10mm gear wrench that usually works or a 10 swivel

Question: would wax help to keep the gasket on until installed? I was thinking the wax while room temp could keep the gasket in place until completely installed. Once the engine heats up. The wax would melt away and leave the gasket completely in tact. Well thats my theory anyways 😮
