VK56 Engine Rebuild Part 6 (tearing down to the block)

[@fritochilito]

Rebuilt my titan a few months ago and couldn't find a video like this anywhere! THANKS SO MUCH! This is gonna be very helpful when I once again inevitably ruin the engine wrecklessly

[@Rythecarguy]

Haha well they will be here forever for when you need them. 💪🏻👍🏻🤘🏻

[@odevious8081]

How much did it cost

[@winstonsmith313]

I’m with you, Ry! Keep up the good work. People who have never torn down a real, live engine (that they’ll have to put back together!) will never know the fear getting this deep into it can create. Yikes! I Admire your courage. Can’t wait to see the smile of satisfaction when you crank it and it catches and purrs. Nothing like it!

[@Rythecarguy]

Thanks! Will do! I appreciate the words of support. It's been a crazy ride so far and I am really getting excited now that we are about to make the turn.

[@trekfortruth2841]

I really admire your calm and methodical attitude with this project...very impressive.

[@Rythecarguy]

Thank you very much! however, I am also the one that gets to choose what shows up on the video. hahaha

[@TandemStyle]

So glad to have a good and thorough tear down and rebuild guide. I’m refreshing a vk56 to swap into my 350z.

[@Rythecarguy]

Hell yea. I hope it goes well!

[@mikemorgan4670]

Really good video. Very much enjoy this series. Well beyond my skill level but fascinating none the less.

[@Rythecarguy]

I really appreciate you coming along for the ride! Thank you.

[@PalmaHerrera]

Thank you for those videos you’re making for every body, I really appreciate your help, I have a question I have Nissan Armada and sometimes it doesn’t start right away and I’m sure it’s not the starter do you have any idea what could be?

[@johnmoll7226]

Why does it not matter that your timing sprockets skipped? How could I prevent mine from skipping? Im doing a timing job and head gaskets, no new cams. For anyone with a VVT vk56, there are bolts hidden behind the cam covers. (I found that out the hard way.) Your videos have been insanely helpful and are very well done.

[@GenX_Lawn_Dude_1977]

Pulling mine out tomorrow can’t wait to see what I find?

[@Rythecarguy]

That's awesome! I hope it goes smoothly. Any major symptoms?

[@Hsibaja]

Hey man .... I been watching your videos but when I did the timing chain didn't came out right any help .... Thanks

[@alemanselvin15]

Do you know where the VVT ​​solenoid is located on the 2005 Nissan Titan?

[@Rythecarguy]

There is not one on at 2005 Titan. These were not VVT.

[@Tankslayer109]

Where can I get this puller? And can you provide a part number

[@lilwill1378]

So you have to take off the upper oil pan to do a head gasket change

[@Rythecarguy]

No you don't. But oh have to take off the front cover.

[@scottr1575]

Thanks!

[@Rythecarguy]

😍 Thank you again Scott! You are a legend! Scott the water pump will be coming in a couple videos! haha

[@scottr1575]

Haha. I feel honored man. I'm happy to support your humble channel

[@geneturner8894]

How many miles are on that engine , there sure is a lot of varnish built up it must have had looooog oil change intervals. I did the timing chain tensioners on my X at 150k an the inside was still clean

[@Rythecarguy]

Yea, the last guy did NOTHING when it came to maintenance. This engine has 217000 on it.

[@eawick]

You from Michigan? I saw the roots sticker… I’m originally from Saginaw, living in Florida now.

[@Rythecarguy]

Nice! Originally from Brighton and moved to Orlando.

[@princesudhakaran5723]

hei mate, do you have any indication on the weight of a dressed vk56 engine.. is 550 lb a fair bet ?

[@Rythecarguy]

Manual says you need an engine stand that can handle 539 pounds so 550 is a really good guess. If you want to be conservative go with 600. Hope this helps!💪🏻

[@inzi7x]

@@Rythecarguy thank you so much for the reply !

[@projectcruiseaid8601]

Hey man, great videos and much appreciated! I'm in the middle of a head gasket replacement on a vk56 out of a 2010 armada. The head bolts are a weird 6 point castle looking type shape, I think it's a specialty Nissan socket. I watched your vid a couple times but it doesn't look like you used an actual socket for the head bolts, just the 10mm hex... Do you know anything about the issue I'm describing? I can post a pic if needed. Thank you brother, much love 🙏

[@Rythecarguy]

Yep! My new bolts are like yours. Look up "etorx" or etorx plus" they might be plus. E for external.

[@projectcruiseaid8601]

I got them off, much appreciated my brother. Keep it up man, namaste 🙏

[@ice_pube_1473]

How many miles was that engine at

[@Rythecarguy]

218,000

[@dm-qx9fy]

What manual are you referencing, can you show it to us?

[@Rythecarguy]

I use the original factory service manual. Unfortunately I can't share it cause I don't want any legal trouble.

[@dm-qx9fy]

@@Rythecarguy Not asking to show content, just the cover and showing that is not illegal. Some of us like to use service manuals and there are several out there by different publishers. Just curious who published yours...OEM?

[@brettlindstrom4330]

@@Rythecarguy Where can one purchase a factory service manual? I have a Vk from a 2011 Infiniti M56 that is getting swapped but i might want to try and rebuild the motor- to have a spare- this will be the 3rd engine going into it- each has failed at 100k. Thanks for the video- glad i found it! (ps i have subscribed to learn more!)

[@ScorpionTrail]

Why didn't you just remove the oil cooler entirely? I did.
