How To Replace Valve Cover Gaskets On A 2002-2007 Nissan Murano

[@tomleonard3934]

Did the job this weekend on my 04 with 145,500 miles, and this video was invaluable. It is very well laid out, easy to follow with good narration and camera work. Kudos to you! I actually broke the job down into two separate ones, one for the front/left rocker cover and one for the back/ right cover. Front was really easy. Back was more difficult and time consuming because of the intake plenum, but was still not that bad. The one thing I found was that there was also a 12mm bolt, threaded into the back of the intake plenum, attached to a bracket coming up from the block that wasn't mentioned in the video. Took awhile to figure out why it wasn't coming loose from the engine until I found that. Once it was out it was a breeze. I attempted this because I had an oil leak at the plug seals. As it turned out the back/right cover wasn't leaking but after finally getting that plenum off, there was NO WAY I wasn't going to change it. Also replaced the spark plugs and coil packs for good measure. I ordered the valve covers, coils, plugs, vent line, intake and throttle body gaskets at a combination of Rock Auto, Amazon and e-bay,and had $198in parts when it was all over. I also removed the throttle body and cleaned it with CRC spray cleaner while I had everything apart. It had a good buildup crap in the inside walls and butterfly valve. Thanks again for this video. It was a lifesaver!

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Tom Leonard Awesome glad the video was able to help. Thank you for watching out for all the tips. I will pin it to the top thank you again for watching!

[@evewilliams5017]

Yes sir you are correct about that 12mm bolt that holds the pressure line...what a pain to get that one out..definately gotta edit that into the video..but everything else was laid out great thank you..

[@rasheemblair5262]

Can you give me a idea of where this 12mm bolt is. I am actually doing my 06 murano and I think I am running into the same issue. All hoses and electrical clips are out from the back but i can not left the intake out. It feel like something is still connected. Should a feel like a metal plate where the 12mm bolt is? Also the hose attached looks like it has some silver covering on it. Am I in the right ballpark I've been working on this job for 3 days and quite frankly I'm getting super frustrated. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

[@JB-yu1lk]

2:19 is that the 12mm bols you are talking about?

[@BobKontak]

The windshield wipers can be removed and then the plastic shroud underneath. Remove the metal pan underneath that and you have easier access to the back of the engine which includes all of those connections from hell on the back of the intake.

[@hustle100]

Awesome! i have a car i brought from copart and its leaking bad. im sure i can do this myself thanks to your vid! Thanks

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Take your time and it’s definitely a doable job. Thank you for watching!

Will the torque specs be the same on the plastic intake manifold on the 2011 Nissan Murano 3.5l??

[@tomatal1]

👍🏼 nice!!! Great video .... good job...

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Michaelangelic thank you!

[@mckoylach1622]

I have a question,regarding the O2s11, is it an air fuel ratio sensor or it’s an O2 sensor? And does the air fuel ratio sensor always mounted before the cat or after or it could be either or ? And how do you identify it is an air fuel sensor from O2 sensor?thanks

[@HowtoAutomotive]

mckoy lach On some of the earlier models it was oxygen sensors front and rear and the newer ones air fuel ratio is in the front. Air fuel ratio’s sensors always go before the cat and oxygen sensors. The way to tell if you have an air fuel ratio sensor is to look at the under hood label. There’s a section where all the emissions devices are labeled. May see something that looks like this A/F or O2

[@abel62193]

Good vid

[@teriipearson5331]

Makita m12? You meant Milwaukee m12 fuel rite?

[@Ron-h4l]

How do you know if this part is bad do you get engine issues or check engine light.

You’re welcome

[@SuperSpeakerguy]

I unplugged the throttle body when doing this since it was very dirty and my car revs on its own up and down and doesnt idle. what can i do to fix that?

[@zassaultt671pange5]

@Youraverage_savage you probably have fixed it already but in that case you need to do an idle relearn process

[@thanatoskatakrima5864]

How much does a Job like this cost?

[@emekaonyima8004]

Flashing signal light on both side

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Emeka onyima not sure what you're asking?

[@Suicidegrey]

Do you you use silicone on intake gasket when finished on the plenum

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Johnny savage Juicy J no. There’s no need for silicone on the intake. Just replaced with a new gasket

[@Suicidegrey]

My engine still shakes I put new 6 new coils 6 fuses new gasket an bout both valve covers

[@Suicidegrey]

How to Automotive but still the engine shakes an is not turning over properly I have to accelerate a little

[@Suicidegrey]

How to Automotive I can hear an air leak coming from on top of the valve cover

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Johnny savage Juicy J If you can hear air I would address that. Go back in there and figure out if the gasket fell off or something. But no silicone is required.

[@jonnipper8265]

I have never seen any videos like this on KZbin this guy is more or less trying to help people like us that aren't certified full mechanics on how to fix our own vehicle step by step bolt by bolt and more or less a perfect learning video that no one can deny

[@Elsuper68]

I'm very impressed how you explained and detailed every single part of the removing and putting every part together. Well done 👍👍👍👍👍but replacing the valve gasket at the back is a challenge. Very good video.

[@less5406]

The Murano you worked on is missing the bracket holding the power steering hose up. That is a 12mm bolt and is a total bitch to remove and it also keeps you from pulling the manifold forward enough to undo the clip holding the bottom portion of that plug in place thus forcing you to remove the 10mm bolt holding THAT bracket on. BTW, I didn't have to pinch off the water hoses, and yes, the system was full. Note to anyone attempting to do this at home, BUY THE VALVE COVER SET!!! I was hoping I wouldn't need them and ended up wasting 31 bucks on gaskets as the rear cover was bad. Since you are in there...might as well change the plugs (mine were burned open to 58 thousandths) and the coil packs so you won't have to pull that damn intake off AGAIN.

[@paulcsikos1437]

This is the best how to video I have ever seen on youtube. Right to the point, great lighting, and everything explained well. Thank you for all your effort, it is very generous to share your knowledge.

[@jaime33912]

Your video is great! I wrapped my iPad in Ceran wrap (so it doesn’t get dirty) and followed each step as you did it. Pausing the video while I completed each step. The shop quoted me $865 to do this and swap the plugs. I was able to do it for under $200 thanks to your video.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

jaime33912 nice that’s a big savings. Glad the video helped out. Thank you for watching!

[@evanganske9240]

$865??? That's insane! This is a $500 job at most. We were just quoted $469 for our soon-to-be 2003 Murano. My 2004 Maxima may need new valve cover gaskets now, too, which sucks because I just did my spark plugs last summer and the intake manifold was a PITA.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Evan Ganske sucks you have to go back in there. The good new is now you know how it comes apart and it will go fast.

[@JDL_MobileRepair]

Only 1 comment referring to the ratchet being Milwaukee, not Makita. Cant believe so many people missed it.

[@fallenone6]

Hello i have a 2003 nisssan murano with oil in the spark plugs. Does that mean i would need new valve covers or just the new gasket should be fine? Great video by the way.

[@user-sh6yj9gb7x]

1.) What is a good cost estimate for parts and labor to replace just the gaskets? What is a good cost estimate for parts and labor to replace the valve cover and gaskets?

[@artbyrobot1]

$850 my guess

[@Zaytobyghostgod]

Is there a front and back cover? This guy said he fixed the front one and now the back one is another 500$?!?

[@johnsmith2598]

Thanks for the video and the well explained instructions! I now know that I can’t do this repair on my own! I appreciate you from a USMC veteran! Happy New Year

I started to get white smoke coming out of my exhaust right after this install. Everything looked right. No drips, Car seems to be running fine. But the white smoke seems to come after it sits for a while. Its now a big puff on start up.....white smoke. Any ideas? Please help..I had no smoke from exhaust before this repair. Im not leaking oil anywhere.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

trickplay461 check the PCV system. Make sure the vent tube that goes from Valve Cover to Valve Cover is plugged in and is not plugged. Replace the pcv Valve.

[@afigueroa3896]

Bro, you rock! You have answered all my questions in a timely manner. My mechanic said he checked the PVC system and everything was good. Smoke for 3 months out of exhaust! Finally I wrote you and tried your advice. PVC valve was clogged !!! New valve and new air filter, which was choked with dirt and no more smoke!!! Thank you so much.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Abel Figueroa glad it all worked out thank you for sharing!

[@uptownsfinest1598]

I don't have any smoke thank God but I'm burning oil reading forums and watching videos im convinced my issue is the PCV valve because I did everything new valve covers gaskets filters all the goods and in 3 weeks I needed oil after all that 3-4 days ago I put 5qts 5w-30 and already need possilly another qt but after watching this I definitely dont wanna do it myself its in the back smh I'm no mechanic so I gotta pay sucks man all this money I put in this murano this year its crazy

[@brandensoto7538]

First off Great Video!! Very helpful! Now, I Just bought a 2005 Nissan Murano it has 193,000 miles. I changed the cam shaft sensor bank 2, then the egr vaccum thing. And all of a sudden when I was on the highway the engine began to bog down and was having a hard time accelerating. I pulled over and the engine was smoking because oil shot out from some where. It looks like it was in the front because the oil shot all over my fan in the front? Could this be because the valve cover gasket needs to be replaced in the front?? Idk where this oil came from.

[@razor6888]

Great video, shame its such a poor design... in my experience the plug seals go first so best to just replace the covers. But I like what you showed and how you do it. Good job. 🙂

[@NFLYoungBoy223]

Hey anybody I have a 2007 Nissan Murano with 193,000 miles and I was just doing preventive maintenance by changing the valve covers because when I changed the spark plugs at 170,000 miles one spark plug was covered in oil the ceramic and where it sparks at and changed the 3 rear ignition coils but anyways this week I replaced the valve covers front and rear and that took me 4 days since it’s very cold in Chicago and it was snowing and so when I was working on the front one I had the front ignition coils in a drawer and they were kind of getting snowed on so I just wiped them off and closed the dresser to dry them and install them tomorrow so when I put the car back together I had a code that read P0081 then I looked around the engine and I just reconnected a harness and I reset the code then it was running fine for 30 seconds then it got to running rough again and got a code P0300 and wonder if it’s the front ignition coils but I replaced all the spark plugs at 170,000 miles and only the rear 3 ignition coils

[@antoinette6140]

Thank you for the video! I may have a oil leak in my '05 Murano with over 161K miles on it. In late winter, I started getting heavy white exhast smoke when I started up my car. It goes away after a few minutes. About 2 months ago, I had a low oil pressure light on. I regularly had my oil changed, the last time being in January with additional repairs afterwards (new starter, 1 engine coil, camshaft and crankshaft sensors replaced). It didn't make sense that my oil pressure light should be on after spending thousands of dollars on repairs. The car started making churning sounds on acceleration. I learned how to change my own oil and oil filter. The old oil was thick, but smooth (no grit). Once I changed the oil and filter the light went off, the churning sound went away, but I still have that white smoke coming from my car exhaust just after it is turned on. I predominantly took it to the Nissan dealership, but now I am going to fix my car myself. What else should I be look at for the oil leaks?

[@NFLYoungBoy223]

Antoinette I love my 2007 Nissan Murano with 193,000 miles but mine does leak oil to I had to change the spark plugs at 173,000 miles and did notice 1 spark plug covers in oil and figured that was a valve cover gasket.

[@rasserrati5466]

im sure you found a fix and or no longer drive the murano but my fix for the white smoke on start was the pcv on the rear valve cover was clogged with oil which made any excess gas and pressure release through my exhaust opposed to the pcv. Also changed spark plugs while i did this so it mightve helped that too

[@chriseatherly8491]

I have a white smoke coming on hood on my Nissan Murano but the temperature still cool and no leak. You think is my gasket, and can a liquid sealer can fix it..

how hard was to remove and put the valve cover back? I have an 07 murano and I have to replace the front valve cover gasket but there is not much play on the wire harness even by unclipping the wire harness from the brackets especially the one that is right above the cover that goes to the bottom. Is there an easy way to make it more flexible in order to install the cover back again?

[@afigueroa3896]

Ok bro. I did this but here are my suggestions. I have large hands so a pair of extra long needle nose pliers were huge in reaching lots of small clamps, etc. Lighting is poor so i suggest some powerful lights to make life easier, and finally I over torqued one bolt on the cover which snapped. Torque setting was off on my tool and it was a nightmare to remove!! otherwise great video thank you !!!

I'd like the correct name or part number for the vent line described in the video please.

[@christeeezzy]

My murano has 107,000 miles and I just had my spark plugs, intake manifold gasket and valve cover gasket replaced. I originally planned to only get my spark plugs and intake gasket serviced, but my mechanic noticed some oil leaking around the valve cover, but he said I only needed the gasket. And now I'm worried that I should of replaced the entire valve cover instead of just the gasket. So now my question for you is, will I be expecting any trouble with any type of leak after I just replaced all but the valve cover since I didn't know the seals weren't serviceable?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Chris Keath this is one of those situations where you could be good for a long time or the seals could start leaking into the spark plugs and you have to do the entire job all over. From my experience service writers are afraid to call customers back and try to up sale so they let things like this slide. But in the end they end up costing you more money

[@codysallander581]

Its a Milwaukee m12 lol but I love the video it saved me so much time

[@RobertJohnson-iy5vy]

I have a 2004 Nissan Altima and it is exactly the same. I reviewed a couple other videos and yours was the best. The front was not as involved as the rear but the rear was not difficult. No special tools were required as I saw in other videos. Don't know why the customer did not go for the entire valve cover with the new spark plug seals. I have had several Nissans and the spark plug seals leaking was a common maintenance item. Although the Altima did not have any leaky seals like the Murano you worked on. Like your top poster, I will replace everything I can while it is apart, plugs, coils, vent line, etc. You can change the title to include the 3.5 Altima. Thank you for the great assist!

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Robert Johnson glad the video helped. Thank you for watching!

[@juancarlosolea4552]

I have a problem like my murano came out code p0507 change spark plugs change valve cover gasket coil, and also the body of acceleration, and also try make him relearn with the scanner and do not want to know what I would advise

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Juan Carlos Olea the code means that the idle is to high. So look for vacuum leaks. Gasket came off or hose unplugged. Also something maybe pinched under the intake.

[@youtuber_PUG]

How much the job like this cost, I am needed to replace Valve gaskets on my 05 MURANO?

[@artbyrobot1]

$850 I'm guessing

[@dbmn7571]

You added a dime-sized glob of silicone sealant in the corner of where ends of the valve cover where the cover curves up. Is that all you need? In the owners manual it shows a line of silicone that starts at the first bolt-hole and extends to the top of the curved portion on of the valve cover. Should I follow the service manual or what you did? Thanks.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Doug Burckhardt all you need is a small amount. I have seen if you use to much silicone you can create uneven surfaces and create leaks.

[@juanborges2424]

Awesome video not to many people splaind it like that and make it like that

[@larryreadout4275]

Awesome video and well laid out. The one thing I had to do differently is to use a 12 mm gear wrench on the 2 bolts attached to the rear bracket holding the intake manifold. My 12 mm socket was hard to use back there. After doing this job, the car does not idle so I need to check my work but can't see anything.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

If it won’t idle there’s possibly a vacuum leak somewhere. Like you said go back over your work and you’re most likely run a crossed it.

[@mckoylach1622]

My 05 murano has oil leak into the oil tubes, is that a top rubber grommets ,need replacements or what caused the oil to leak into the tubes?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

mckoy lach It’s a seal built into the valve cover. On the way to repair is to replace the whole cover itself.

[@johnnyplacido3366]

I have a 2004 Nissan murrano when I press the gass and start driving and stars hesitating to go . I have no check engen lights on

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Johnny Placido I would still try pulling the code even though the light is not on. Most likely a misfire. If you check mode nine in generic it may tell you which cylinder is misfiring. Also injector failure is comment on that vehicle. Another thing because it is low engine oil timing is controlled by oil pressure.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

chucho 444 Oil on the spark plugs due to the valve cover leaking and you need to replace the bow cover gasket or Val cover. If you clean it out and put the plugs and coil‘s and it will only temporarily fix it. The oil is what’s making it misfire.

Hi, so I have a 2004 Nissan Murano and I'm assuming the gaskets need replacing. The symptoms I'm getting are oil leaking on the front part on the engine and white smoke coming from passenger side after I have driven a short distance. What's your take on this? Thank you

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Ras Serrati sounds like it is leaking. But it could be something other than the valve covers. You will need to do a good visual inspection.

[@rasserrati5466]

How to Automotive thank you, found out I had a cracked spark plug seal and have to replace the whole valve cover.

Is it possible for the tube seals to b cracked and pouring oil

[@HowtoAutomotive]

sT UrFlat yes that could happen.

[@mckoylach1622]

Are those sparks plugs tubes,thread in or insert into with glues?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

mckoy lach They’re mounted in the cover itself and they are non-serviceable so you’ll have to buy new valve covers. They’re not that expensive though

MrUwannabet if the oil leak is in the spark plug tube then yes this could help. But there could be a lot of things causing it to hesitate. I would start by pulling code.

I spent over $2,500 on this hesitation problem. Ross Nissan dealer still can't fixed it right & my car still has same issue. I don't want to take it back for 3rd times to that dealer. No more CVT car for me! Thx..
