Me encanta porque explican todo perfecto.Porque yo tengo un CADILLAC CTS del 2003 y me está liquidando aceite por el lado derecho.Tiene motor 3.2.

[@hsmith9100]

Thank you so much for the video. I feel very confident tackling this project tonight. I was having doubts about this car, with huge love hate relationship. My 03 cts has unfortunately suffered from all the most common issue and this video and your other videos made it very doable. Again, a big THANK YOU from the little Ocean State....Rhode Island.

[@loganballabina5633]

Bro this video is so in-depth and you offer great tips and help. Especially for me, who is just starting to delve into the DIY mechanic work, this was very simple and easy to understand. Can’t thank you enough.

[@Nthefastlane]

Thank you, I give 150%!

[@pureacid4550]

Great educational video. I just got this done on my 2003 Cadillac cts, but they did a poor job for me. Its leaking oil now. Thank you for taking the time.

[@douglaskolb1269]

Thanks for the great video. I am not a mechanic but i followed all of your intructions and had no problems at all. I also decided to change the spark plugs while i was in there. thanks again ....... Doug

[@tbois46]

Excellent ! I followed his instructions and was able to change the thermostat and all the gaskets. Thank you very much for a great video. The absolute best video out there.

[@4xprops457]

All I can say is thank you for an awesome video!

[@Nthefastlane]

+4Xprops !!!! Thank you for the compliment 4x. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@justinw523]

Nthefastlane thanks for the video man I just did my 03 Cadillac CTS valve cover gasket’s today and your video helped a good bit. My spark plugs was covered in oil so bad I can’t believe it didn’t have a mis fire LOL the hole time. Anyways thanks buddy

[@richardgarcia4843]

Gracias amigo ... me ayudastes mucho con tu aporte .... god bless you

[@Air-vf6cn]

i agree 100 percent you must use permatex on these rubber gaskets in these northstar engines to finally get them sealed but Felpro the gasket manufacturer absolutely does not agree with our method and they state you should never use permatex on rubber gaskets like i mentioned i agree with you but im just simply saying what Felpro suggests just so people watching this video can see this thanks great video brother ;)

[@Nthefastlane]

No company want's to tell a customer that their product only repairs 75% of the job. ;)

[@guttazonefpv5207]

Wanted to come here to thank you for this video. I had a gasket leak and I viewed this video plenty times and completed the job today. All was well except the car won’t start just keeps turning over. I can’t think what it could be but I feel like it’s something with that fuel line on the passenger side. Any suggestions I’ll appreciate it. Great video very detailed, thanks again 👌🏾

[@elmayorr1309]

this sure will help. i pulled out the coil packs on my '04 cts and the spark plug well was filled to the brim with oil!

[@willieurus]

Would oil in spark plug make it misfire

[@bighurk30able]

Good job that's a lot of work

[@Nthefastlane]

Thank You.Yes it is!

[@hartfischer5509]

Amazing. I have burnt oil smell in my 2014 CTS, and I am suspecting the passenger valve cover gasket. But I can t see underneath the intake manifold. Very sad.

[@marctastic1234]

Great video, thanks! I have a coolant leak and was thinking it was either the oil cooler or a head gasket. The coolant is running down the back of the engine on top of the transmission. Sound like a common problem?

[@Nthefastlane]

Check the back of the cylinder head, there is a coolant line exiting it. Tends to leak there. Tight spot, but that could be your problem.

[@zoltanszabo4635]

You are great! I will do again it in your way. TIS 2000 shows only 4 corner - at the cam - to push instant gasket. ... but oil leaks at the places, whre you offer to put instant gasket. Z

[@sarvidec]

Why did you cut the valve cover gasket in the middle?

[@jasonmassey7883]

I wrecked my 2011 STS 3.6 LLT so I went bought a 2008 CTS LY7 beautiful car with a blown engine...I was just gonna swap out the motor and transmission from the STS to the CTS.Will that work?

[@bluefeathercalnimptewa4307]

Wowsers very very helpful, I've been looking around for this information for awhile now" thanks so much for sharing...

[@RomeoCacal-x2h]

There are four vacuum lines on the throttle body, three of them are connected into one a large hose, where is the other one connected to?

[@terrencecalnimptewa1259]

Another question, would the oil spill over cos smoke to exit out muffler?

[@Nthefastlane]

If you have a bad/clogged pcv system it will cause excessive crankcase pressure. The crankcase pressure will cause oil to get past the piston rings and burn in the combustion chamber and out the exhaust.

[@anthonyrockhold5068]

Can you do a oil cooler replacement 03 cts

[@isaiahbanks2984]

So i am going to fix my gaskets but i dont have the money for my pcv so my pcv is still bad how long till the go out again

[@kduxe4800]

Does anyone know the name of the gasket or o ring under the black strip

[@I_am_a_cat_]

Could this be a possible repair instead of a total head gasket repair? My car had a little bit of oil on the Spark plugs, and replacing them made it go from one cylinder misfiring to 4 of them misfiring. I also go through coolant pretty quickly. I love my cts so much but it's not worth spending thousands on a new head gasket.

[@jesseguyett6572]

I have a 2003 cadillac cts I have a leak coming from my valve cover. Do I need to go all the way past the first block taken out

[@ecf2335]

I really enjoyed this video. It was very informative. But I have a question I also have a 2003 CTS and I'm trying to replace a part but I don't know the name of it but I have pics of the part. Can you help me.

[@willieurus]

What motor is this

[@Nthefastlane]

Cadillac CTS 3.2L V6 24 valve

[@prestonmarkham1711]

Will this solve oil in the spark plug coil?

[@Nthefastlane]

Yes it will. The only way it would not is if the cylinder head had a crack in the spark plug galley. Chances of that are very unlikely. I would say 95% chance it's your valve cover gasket. If you see it in multiple spark plug galleys then definitely valve cover gasket needs to be replaced because it's too brittle and no longer seals.

[@Westworldmenace2]

What if oil is only getting to one side??

[@angelg796]

I was wondering I have a smell of antifreeze on the left side of my engine. If I follow your video. Will I be able to replace gasket to keep antifreeze from leaking out? It’s not much yet but it’s a matter of time before it gets worst. What gasket should I look for? The only one I’ll like to replace is the one that is leaking but if it makes sense to replace everything else I will. Please help. Hope you read this post.

[@pablitoburciaga7351]

What the labor time on the job?

[@marvinjohnson466]

Thank you for the breakdown of this video really enjoyed it but I do need your assistance on the Cadillac CTS 2003 I have no problem with a coolant leak directly from the reservoir going into the back of the engine have no idea where leak coming from except for back of engine need some assistance or knowledge things that's located in back of engine that will cause a water leak 3.2 engine V6 Cadillac CTS 2003 thank you for your help maybe I will be able to make a video on showing how to fix this issue with your help

[@Nthefastlane]

In the future if you have any questions you can always post on my Forum. www.Nthefastlane.com/forum For your question, I would say that there's a coolant nipple on the back in between the two cylinder heads. The hose could have dry rotted. I would try to get over the engine and look down at the back and see if you can see the coolant hose. It connects into a nipple. I believe it's the heater control valve hose that runs up through the back of the engine all the way up to the passenger side of the vehicle, and then up to the radiator.

[@terrencecalnimptewa1259]

Hello could you help me out with a diagram on the over flow connection. On my Cadillac there is no connection there? Thank you

[@Nthefastlane]

Overflow connector to what?

[@terrencecalnimptewa1259]

The manifold I believe

In the description of the video I placed a link and also the very top comment there's a link to the store.

Look for "Shop This Video".

[@millbilly6646]

got er done ! Many thanks for this vid !!!!!!!!!

[@obediencedenied57]

Nice video bro

[@chrish8871]

Same engine as omega in Uk/Eu and Catera in US? Coil pacs have a threaded insert in the bolt holes in Uk engines. We can use the plenum bolts to screw into the coil pack to pull them out easier. Presume same for you guys in the US. ....ps we get black rubber gaskets from dealer comes with black goo, flicked through the video. Apologies if I missed these points.

[@gregoriocampo]

Great video.

[@Nthefastlane]

Haven't had to repair one yet.

Supposedly there is a new redesigned valve cover gasket for the passenger side that prevents that oil leak.

[@gunfighterdrummer]

I'm having a hard opening the hood. Should I still try this?

[@Nthefastlane]

Not understanding the question?

[@gunfighterdrummer]

Nthefastlane how do I open the hood to my car?

[@Bmxicano2]

@@gunfighterdrummer you can do this without opening the hood but it's a bit more work

[@gunfighterdrummer]
