Ultimate VQ Engine Care | Oil Gallery Gaskets | 100k Mile Service Guide

[@markus360s]

Yeah shop near me quoted me 4k to do the gallery gasket after I heard that my confidence to do it myself went from 25% to 95% after that 😂

[@niftynet]

Just keep your eye out on the timing ! Don’t ever wanna mess that up

[@finnhaapy4044]

Sadly I'm in the same boat

[@Hondacbr600rrish]

That sucks, 4k is crazy. Sounds like the shop didn't want to do it at all. Shops in KC do it for 1k to 2k.

[@markus360s]

@@Hondacbr600rrish I know I think I’m just gonna get a new motor lol it’s ALOT of miles on it anyway

[@Hondacbr600rrish]

@markus360s I'm at 132,000 miles on mine right now. I'm just going to get the full potential out of this engine. After the gallery gasket, I'm going to put the soho supercharger lyte kit on and then have some fun.

[@dynamicgarage4727]

Yeah a shop wanted to quote me $4,800 on gallery gaskets. I did it my self and did a full timing chain with secondary chains. Started first try. Damn KZbin is amazing

[@tonycampbell9626]

Your work is by far one of the best videos I have seen. Your attention to detail and the care you apply to your work is a lost art in today’s work environment. As I can seen taking short cuts and rushing can and will be a disaster. I’m not a mechanic but mechanics like you are a rare breed. You use hand screws where impact is not the are not the right tool. As it pertains to engines this makes you a modern day Rembrandt. Keep up the good work. I appreciated the skill set and watching the video was very educational.

[@Th3fac31]

Holy crap, I'm about at 100k but this video is very helpful for the chain, water pump and thermostat! I couldn't find a video ANYWHERE to make me understand how to do this timing thing and be able to not ruin my engine! I really appreciate this!

[@niftynet]

Glad this can be helpful. It’s a process. We always recommend a professional. But if you can’t find one and you want to try it yourself. Here’s what we do.

[@Errlmaster]

I want to thank you so much for being straight forward the whole video, I watched a couple of these and you explained everything clearly and simply. Definitely gave me the confidence to do the job, as I am experienced with Volvos I am surprised how much more difficult a Nissan is to do a timing job / same but very different 😂

[@niftynet]

Glad we could help

[@user-ts4ry6uf2e]

This video deserves so much love bro its insane. Thank you guys so much

[@dylanwohlscheid5368]

This video is an ABSOLUTE God send! Raw and unfiltered and is EASY to understand! THANK YOU!

[@murtadhaaltameemi8507]

thank you for the details. I'm already half way done and made it to the timing chain and stopped and found this amazing video and will tackle it soon. Thank you again for this amazing video.

[@matthostetler5422]

Fun fact with freon. I drained the freon out of an old refrigerator with a 12 gauge in the backyard years ago to scrap it. The freon sprayed into grass. The next morning that grass was the deepest green i have ever seen and it grew at least 6 inches overnight. 2 days later it was dead. Its a good short term "fertilizer."

[@TheFriendsYouCanHaveOver]

Thank you, you’re a life saver! never delete this video !

[@niftynet]

Never will! 🙌🏻🙏🏼

[@wesoakes]

Love the BZF banner. Thanks for being a sponsor.

[@mikkart0850]

Wonderfull resource of VQ how to videos, got my gallery gaskets done with help of this.

[@niftynet]

Thank you for your feedback! We are making tons of new videos for people like you 🙏🏼

[@jimjackson9731]

Great video. Best I've seen on anything with the gallery gaskets. I going to need you to just go ahead and do a video on everything about the Z's and G's. Especially replacing the cams hahaha.

[@niftynet]

Deal!

[@JNYDZ]

Did this last fall and this is definitely the time to swap out motor mounts for some urethane mounts. Headers too, its all accessible when you have the front clip off and accessories out of the way.

[@niftynet]

Right on. If you ever need anything. Visit us at our online store. SacCityAutoParts.com

[@zygi22]

Thanks for your channel. A lot of great stuff on here. 👍

[@Z33Garage]

Also Im sure you know, On top of the tensioner, there is a hole, if you put tension and align the 2 holes, you can put a pin though the tensioner hole and it will keep it tensioned while you install the belt with both hands.

[@MiguelVallejoPwnz]

You did a great job with your video tutorial, looking forward to more.

[@Z33Garage]

If you have to do engine mounts, now it also the time to do em LOL

[@CobbG37x]

Im gonna tackle this job here real soon in the garage my 2011 sedan is at 150k and ive put off the job long enough im confident enough to pull everything off and put it back together my Technician buddy is gonna help me with the gaskets, timing chain, and upgraded oil pump gear

[@CobbG37x]

Currently doing my gallery gaskets and after further inspection, some of the gasket screws looks like they've already been touched, making me believe it's been done I noticed my oil pressure switch was covered in power steering fluid though, which could be the reason why my pressure light was turning on, not my gallery gaskets. Oh well I'm already this far in 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@brute_ttw]

Thanks for the video I was able to do this job myself instead of paying 4k to the dealer…but just to find out it was for nothing because the previous owner replaced the gaskets already and I still have the same problem 🤦🏽

[@weekendmechanic1]

I did this on my car, great video,

[@kensington3942]

i like how he didn't show the torquing of the bolt under the secondary chain (Tricky bolt), guess he can't torque it without removing more parts. 37:16 not complaining, just wanted to see how he did it, and guess it CAN"T BE DONE!!! lol amazing work and commentary. a must know for vq35\37hr engines

[@TheGuruStud]

make a custom short allen wrench or I guess ball end would work and tq by hand

[@jessbd112]

You didn’t link the Freon drain tool

[@GeorgePall-xv8mm]

Well done! Easy to understand step by step walk through. O lots of good info. Thank you

[@z-ro34]

I am dreading the day when it's time to do this. I'm scope creeping and adding a NISMO oil pump and ATI damper whenever it's time to do this job. Thankfully my oil pressure is well within spec at 155K. Maybe i got lucky and fused the gallery on the track lmao.

[@artemshcherbakov8803]

Reall pro with the VQ😍

[@hunterbruno9052]

Is it possible to get a list of all the parts you replaced while doing the gasket job?

[@mr.tall-man1573]

32:02 has some parts rattled off but I see you're point

[@TheDrAkira]

Man! I need to do the same for my 350z DE revup engine soon, because its currently sitting at 96k Miles and I never worked in such a big an complex engine before, I usually work on inline 4s (i'm from Paraguay, south america) and just seeing you made me so friggin concerned about the amount of thing that I can screw up so much hahahahha! But I need to become a man and do my own DE, besides nowady in this forgotten part of the world knows how to do this so, why pay for screwing up your engine when you can screw up yourself for free? hahaha, thank you for the video, I already saved it for later!

[@niftynet]

We’ve got em at Sac City Auto Parts

[@Hondacbr600rrish]

Nice work! Just got done doing my gallery gasket and timing stuff done. Was wondering if you have a video on install on a a2a supercharger kit for g37coupe. Thank you and great video! ❤️

[@iiXtcy]

Torque spec for the 10mm and 14mm bolts on the cover ? Any link to all torque specs ? Thanks

[@Dahvacman100]

I did mines twice first cheap one went out now I got the z1 gallery gasket

[@giogio2918]

hi, what was the cheap one? i bought mine from infiniti dealer but i dont know if it is good like the z1

[@Dahvacman100]

@ if it’s not metal then it won’t last and you’ll need the torque screws

[@giogio2918]

Hi, After put the cover with the liquid gasket How long did you wait until Torque the bolts?

[@RicardoB.Alvarez-yz8ru]

Thanks man best video! How many man hours did it take from start to finish

What’s the tool to drain the Freon called can’t find the link

[@rubennavarro1286]

does anyone know the name of that thing he uses to drain the freon and how i go about doing that in my garage at home??

[@trapinboo4673]

What’s the tool u used for ac

[@MaltiPoo23]

Great video. Thanks for posting. When the gallery gaskets fail does it always throw a code? I've got 140k on my G35S, and was assuming since no code I've gotten lucky so far. Maybe I'll check with a manual oil pressure gauge.

[@mosdiy8096]

What ended up happening. I’m in the same boat with my 350z. Changed oil pressure sensor, still at 0psi. Going to check it with a manual gauge. But I have zero codes.

[@MaltiPoo23]

@@mosdiy8096 I have no symptoms of there being an issue so I haven't investigated yet. Hoping yours works out.

[@Kickass-le3hf]

What tool did you use to take out the free on in the ac line ? It says it’s going to be in the description but I don’t see no link to it and also for the extended 10 mm stuck on extension. If you have both links it would be great.

[@bryan_trades8867]

Did you find it?

[@nikkicartee879]

Any reason you didn’t replace the actual chains? Looking at buying everything and didn’t know if I should go ahead and buy the chains or not

[@lothar52]

Anybody know a good shop in cbus Ohio that has done this job for them? Tough finding good peeps these days who take pride in their work!

[@lothar52]

Is there a timeframe on when to do the gallery gaskets as well? My father had a 2010 G37S coupe RWD 20th anniversary edition. Only 11k miles on it in 14+ yrs…. I would as with use time can cause then to go bad as well? Thoughts??

[@javaska112]

I have a question. The car you are working on has 170k miles. Is it necessary to do the secondary timing chain and guide? Thanks

[@sztukmistrzzmlekoity383]

Can't you make grooves in the covers and use sealant? Like the front timing cover does...

[@Kilivay]

where can i get the gallery gaskets you guys use or are they the ones that z1 sells?

[@jjackson9189]

Great vid

[@NjBoriG35]

Wish you could do my car. Been dealing with a p0014 and p0024 for over a year. Pretty sure it's this and timing chain not sure. Any idea????

Why aren't you using a hammer- Impact screwdriver to prevent striping those screws?

[@_chewwyy]

Where did you get the coolant caps from? I saw a red one at 10:50 in the video

[@justhere4721]

Timing marks are on the sprockets and oil pump. Not the timing cover. Also, removing the whole front end is not necessary. You can do this with just removing the radiator fan. Great diy video though.

[@mosdiy8096]

He literally said that at the beginning of the video…..

[@tomgt007sugden]

That was a fucking brilliant video.. nice work 👏

[@kingbey8405]

Those gaskets didn't stick like other cars you've might've done, because they most likely changed their oil frequently 💯 Edit...ok i see whereas it's been opened before...But why nobody changes the 2 can tensioners🤔 they dont go bad?
