That engine has all the signs of good maintenance and a healthy amount of Italian tuneup. The windage from frequent high rpm keeps the oil deposits from building up, running a high quality synthetic oil doesn't sludge and varnish very easily, the intake ports have a nice healthy fuel washdown pattern, the back of the intake valves are clean, and the dry areas of the ports have minimal buildup. It would have been interesting to see how the rings looked as far as how clean or fouled the grooves and oil rings were, as hard driving tends to keep them relatively clean as well.

Stopping the crank for harmonic change. I use a trick my uncle showed me, i know not the best method. But remove plug and go to tdc on c1. 1/2 rotation on crank, feed about 6-8" of some 1/4" rope thru plug hole, clothes line works great. Intake valve will close, then continue spinning crank. The rope will stop piston without metal to metal contact. Turn back for removal. Helps for changing valve seals without pulling heads too.

Never heard of a bearing issue on a vq lol, only thing major that should be done on vq's roughly between 100-140k miles depending is timing chain stuff and do water pump & valve cover gaskets (valve cover gaskets are easy asf) while you're in there. Other than that if you literally keep routine basic stuff(oil change + filter, diff oil, transmission fluid), these are literally some of the most consistently reliable engines.

@@justsumguy2u maybe in cars from 30 years ago. Nowadays with crumple zones, air bags, head rests, stretching seatbelts, and the fact that its lateral movement that breaks vertebrae and severs the spinal cord, the odds of survival in a frontal collision are very high. Fatal injuries due to frontal collisions are typically incurred due to internal bleeding, which can happen, but it takes enough force to overcome the other safety systems. And that much force would annihilate the engine compartment. Now, a side collision is another matter. It doesn't take much of that to kill someone.

@@lovelessissimo I gotta admit this all seems so ghoulish and macabre. Unfortunately for me, it's all too real. I saw 2 kids killed in a 350Z in 2008 right in my rearview mirror. - Driver (who had been drinking) was speeding and rounded an S curve in town, went wide, driver jerked the wheel, overcorrected, the car slewed right then left and sailed across the center median, just missing me and T-boning itself sideways into a brand new Tundra behind me. Estimated impact speed about 130mph (Tundra 50mph+350Z about 80mph). Tundra was crushed to the firewall, its occupants sustained only minor injuries. The passenger in the Z had no chance, DRT. Driver was DOA at the hospital. It was a terrible thing to see happen, and I'll never forget it as long as I live. Modern cars are tremendously well engineered, but physics is still physics.

The fact that it still turns over relatively easily means its likely "ok" since its not binding up in the rear main, but still would be good to check. I'd also want to check for cracks as well in that area, but it might not be so easy to inspect without fully tearing it down. I suspect what broke the trans off was having the front of the motor impact whatever the car ran into which then turned it at an angle relative to the trans, which snapped the bellhousing. Amazing the short-block survived that.

Technique i got from an experienced retired mechanic to get a crank bolt off without an impact is to take the heads off or at just one and shove some rope in one of the cylinders and put the head back on and can take a breaker bar to the bolt and the engine wont turn all the over. Used it once and it worked great, and the rope is soft enough so it wont damage anything. time consuming taking the head off, on, and then back off but if that's all you got then it works great.

I cant stand knowing a VQ whether a 35 or 40 has failed. Because these motors are built SUPER TOUGH. So it must take a lot to kill one. And Nissans greatest feat for a mass produced motor will always be the VQ series in my opinion. Edit: The reason i am so confident in these motors is because i bought an 06 Xterra with 236,000 miles. After SMOD, and 3,000 miles and 1 Winter later, it developed the oh so annoying CHATTER. Well, i drove the X like this up until 322,600 miles. It just got to be so loud in drive thrus that i HAD to replace the Timing Components. And upon Front Cover Removal, i had ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO timing chain tension. The guides were destroyed and all 3 tensioners were collapsed. But this engine kept running non stop. The chain was so loose it chewed a 1/4" valley into the rear timing cover and oil gallery plate. No misfire, no failure and no timing jumped. Now i want all readers who are mechanically inclined to think about that for a moment. NO CHAIN TENSION? And running it at 5500 RPMs a lot to pass? And this engine is STILL running good? How?!?!?!?!

This engine reminds me of an ambulance the yard I work for bought a few years back, it had a low output version of a duramax with a 4L80E behind it. It bumped into something and bent the torque converter. (yes you read that correctly) The torque converter neck being bent bound it over the input shaft of the transmission, 2 or 3 of the original 6 torque converter bolts were still holding on (heads popped off the other bolts) to the stamped drive plate (which was bent like potato chip) but still bolted to the crank. This drive plate being separate from the cast flywheel on a duramax, which in this case was in pieces. Were it not for what you just read the transmission likely would've been ejected, and all that was required to separate the engine from the trans was cutting the steel drive plate with the torch around the converter bolts through the convenient user installed access gap between the engine and trans.

We use to have a full size, Ford E-350 van with a heavy duty trailer hitch. One day, she was rear ended by a kid driving his Father’s Acura Integra. He & his buddy were looking to the left at a For Sale car parked in a vacant lot. They didn’t notice that the traffic he was following by 20 car lengths had stopped for a pedestrian in a crosswalk. Just before impact he noticed the impending collision and jammed on the brakes. Which caused the nose of the Integra to dive, low enough that our van’s trailer hitch took the head off the Integra’s engine. My point is that even minor collisions can destroy an engine depending on the details of the impact.

What? You want to stop the crank from turning? Well, son, open an extra inspection port in the engine block, and throw in some piston McNuggets. You DID save some from last time, right? 🤣😆😅

I have a VQ35 in my car so I'm going to watch this with a lot of interest. Mine is the 260 hp 260 torque version.

Looks like the aftermath of the typical oil gallery gasket failure these engines and the early VQ37VHR engines were prone to having...

I think you have a lot more Nissan fans than you think would love to see a yq37hr vid to compare these two. Maybe one that wasn’t driven by your average 350z owner

Now this is a video for me. I've had 3 VQ35/VQ37. I'm in the process of buying an 06 G to match my first an original I use to own.

A square block of wood wedged into the block has always been my goto when dealing with a stuck crankpulley bolt. Never fails!

Those exhaust manifolds look like literal headers! First time I have seen a 350z engine.

Nice that they made factory headers for the car. One of these engines sitting under the hood scare me from a perspective of having to work on it. Any broken Nissan motor is better than a perfectly good GM motor.

Well if it was a fatal accident if you put parts from this engine on your current car, legend has it you will start to see images of the folks that departed over time. So beware. :) Kind of like that Airplane crash in the 70's that happened in Florida. Funny thing about that is that many many people were not believed in what they witnessed, but the airline when ahead and removed every single part they had re-used from the crashed plane. Think about that for a minute. :) Thank you for the video

what worked on my 2014 Maxima was PB Blaster, jamming a 3/8 extension in the main pulley against the oil pan and using a long 1/2" breaker bar with pipe..

If you need to hold a crankshaft. Wrap a ratchet strap around the pulled and tighten it. Works like a charm.

I think we can all agree, donating a meme engine for you to tear down is going to have a pretty high level of expectation now.

That powder on top of the intake is a dry chemical fire extinguisher, likely potassium powder. We called it PKP, (Purple Potassium Powder) in the Navy/Coast Guard on the ships. It's very effective on fires involving fuels and oils (Class B) .

@3:20 "this is all pretty rough". Well, only 3 minutes in, it's pretty clear that this tear-down is going to be for _entertainment purposes only_ because what comes to mind is the concept of Fubar. *EDIT* having watched the rest, I stand corrected! Partially salvageable, much to my amazement.
