infinity oil galley gasket fix part 1

[@jub96002]

Thank you so much for making these videos! I was able to do the repair by myself in my front yard. Saved a huge amount of money. For anyone who is looking into doing this... whew. It's a job. But doable. I used an electric impact wrench (the strongest one Dewalt has) to take off the crank pulley bolt without that tool that holds the transmission. Another note, there is a tool that will hold your cams in place--use it!! I didn't rotate the timing to top dead center, and as soon as I took the timing chain tensioner out, my chain jumped both sprockets. Thankfully, I had marked them, but took forever to get it back into place. Start with the front bumper, make a very thorough check list of everything as you're taking it apart (and use it as you put it back together). I forgot to tighten the alternator nut after install and it haunted me for a week. Again, thank you thank you thank you!

Man that is good to hear. I'm glad that my videos help people. Sometimes just watching someone do it the first time it takes the fear away from the job. I have learned a lot from other you tubers I just wish they could be more thorough when explaining things.

[@purplebanana0]

What is the name of the tool that holds the cams in place?

[@aurasbp]

This is by far the best repair video I've see for replacing the galley gasket, thank you very much for your time and the effort to get everything on camera. Again thank you very much.

The metal is drill shavings from the machining of the engine and the paper galley gasket.

[@saarangs142]

Hello sir i have a dought about infinite QX 50 starting trouble

[@big_mac6037]

I watched all 3 vids Excellent vids bro very thorough and a lot of detail. Also can you please tell me where online did you get that tool (j-48641) cuz I can’t find it anywhere

[@AngelGarage]

Thx..I can't remember if it was stillen or Nico club. But you can Google it and it will pop up different vendors.

[@AngelGarage]

Some people can get it out with a good impact.. I wish I tried that first

[@arloc74]

Are these similar steps for a 350z hr?

[@AngelGarage]

I haven't done a 350z. But the 3.5 is almost the same. But don't quote me on that

[@acsimracing_876]

What year was the galley gasket changed in these cars?

[@frequency008]

2013

[@RidingWithNick125]

I want to get a g37 but I am afraid of this galley gasket. What are some tips on keeping organization with your parts?

[@AngelGarage]

Honestly my car broke again. Im going to fix it and get rid of it.

[@RidingWithNick125]

angelfiggi what broke on it??

[@AngelGarage]

@@RidingWithNick125 the oil galley gasket broke again. Im going to fix it and get rid of it.

[@Twotonetaco]

@@AngelGarage it broke again after being repaired? do you think it’s a good idea to stay away from these?

[@AngelGarage]

@@Twotonetaco I'm thinking it wad my fault. I should have used the upgraded gasket it's thicker and stronger. But I used the stock oem gasket. I learned about the better gasket after the job was done. In my opinion with this car I would highly recommend extended warranty. Mine expired 2 months before it broke the first time. I have a friend that has an infinity and he has no issues. It's the luck of the draw I guess

[@trevorcunning6248]

I'm confused. You removed all of that just to show that part of the galley gasket and a piece of metal was stuck in the screen?

[@AngelGarage]

I have other parts to this video showing the sequence of events from start to finish on fixing the problem. Check em out it might help with the confusion

[@sw0]

Thanks for the service manual information and linking to nicoclub. I didn't know such resources were available like this for free. Any chance you have one for a manual 2006 BMW z4 3.0 si? Or if you could point me in the right direction, I'm helping my relative out with his vehicle.

Ever find out what metal was?

[@AngelGarage]

No. But I've put 2,800 miles and no problem. The only thing I can think of it might have been shaving from when the engine was built.

[@MMostwanteDD]

Trys to do it with out taking off the bumper and front end, Ends ul taking out the front end lol 😂

[@AngelGarage]

I tried. But it was tons easier with out it... live and learn
