Thank you for the kind words bro. I appreciate you. I just want to help provide information that wasn't always there. As well as document my process and growth.

[@mikehawk2257]

dude holy fuck, thank you so much man you saved my ass, I'm just glad there's proof that it's doable. everyone on the forums never really mentions or dives into doing it yourself, only people saying to find the right person to go through for the fix. I have to replace mine and I'm not paying 2-3k, well....only if I don't mess up and can't leave my garage again. wish me luck yall.

I would say do it yourself bro. But if that's not an option go with someone you trust.

[@Vsmachok]

I just got my car[ 08 350z] from the Nissan dealer. Had a major leak turn out it was the water pump. Quoted me 1600$ for the 9 hour job. They call me back the next day that my Gallery gaskets were bad and a new thermostat needed. , they ask me if i ever had a low oil pressure light on i told them i never did but i do remember seeing my oil pressure really low like 10-20. Never even heard what a gallery gasket was till now and just gotta say thats alot of work and i would go insane even attempting this. So now i feel better for paying 2000$ at the dealer knowing all this work it takes.

[@tuned_tunas]

Yeah I agree. It does take a lot of work to get to the gaskets. I wanted to learn to do the job myself. Save some extra bucks.

[@Vsmachok]

@@tuned_tunas save alot of extra bucks 😅... i have no patience so i coudlt do it and i would loose alot of bolts in the process

Should I be concerned that now I'm losing coolant in the expansion tank? Should i call the mechanic and let him know or should i wait and see if it goes down pass the LOW line? All in all, the car is running like new, and maybe I'm just paranoid now with some sort of Coolant PTSD, but man, this is freaking me out.

Your car is a baby. You should be fine. I’m over here sending it on my 160k mile engine.

[@seth-mata]

You recommend changing the chains and guides or mainly gallery, water pump and thermostat ?

[@tuned_tunas]

I never changed the guides or tensioners. I only replaced the gallery gaskets. Water pump only when it needs it but I left the stock one. The thermostat you can get to even when the motor is closed.

[@инвесторвничего]

hi. I bought a chiseled crankshaft and then bought inserts for it. I also changed the gallery gaskets. I measured the pressure on a 5w40 synthetic and showed 0.75 bar (11 psi) when fully warmed up. Is it not enough? are the liners bought after buying a wasted crankshaft to blame for everything?

[@tuned_tunas]

I only run the recommended 5w-30 oil in the system and at warm idle it normally sits pretty low at 12psi only skyrockets when you get on it.

[@NjBoriG35]

[@shomarinelson6017]

what was your symptoms to a worn out galley gasket ? My g37 is at 213k after getting my alternator replaced i started having rpm issues. i did everything possible to fix the idle. still nothing . After driving for about an hour the car gets stable . No rpm issues. but sometimes when i stop at the light it goes crazy ,then today i seen a quick flash of the brake symbol then it went away . what the heck is going on with my g. i feel like selling it for a q50 . your thoughts?

[@tuned_tunas]

350z have a gauge so that’s how I could tell that they were out. Oil pressure was only hitting 90psi when it should be hitting 120 easily. With that being said your issue sounds a lot different. Maybe clean throttle bodies and maf sensors. See what that does. Is there any codes ??

Hey man just watched your video and it’s great. I have a ‘03 350z which I’m swapping an hr in. I bought a wrecked 07 350z that is everything I need but the motor has 180k miles. Do you think I should do the gallery gaskets while the motor is out before putting it in the other car even if my oil pressure is fine?

[@tuned_tunas]

save yourself the headache now and just do them. don't wait for the oil pressure to be low. it might already be too late by then.

[@brandontorres1905]

[@tuned_tunas]

Thats right👍

[@willk3807]

Please don't hate me for asking. You seem like a knowledgeable guy. Would a vq35de block mate up to a HR heads and intake system? I probably need a ECU swap and some wiring. But I built my bottom end with forged. And didn't think about how the HR has better valve timing system. It be a Frankenstein build but have you ever heard it done?

[@tuned_tunas]

Never heard of it. But my question is why you would bother to keep the DE block. The piston rings are trash in those cars that’s why they tend to burn oil. HR block far more superior in my opinion.

[@willk3807]

@@tuned_tunas When I bought my Z for $3500. It had a carbon hatch, 18x13 rears and 18x10 fronts SSR wheels, full HKS exhaust, and Carbeua seats. The engine was out but it came with 2 engines with manual transmissions and a Rev-up doner car with blown motor in stock automatic trim. The Z I decided to built was the early 2003 edition in Nismo trim. So for $3500 my rabbit hole has gotten pretty deep

[@tuned_tunas]

You have most definitely gotten yourself in deep. But if you’re having to get the Hr ecu and the wiring harness it only makes sense to take the block with you. Just my opinion. In a world where we have a DE & HR why settle for less ??

[@mikemcmillion446]

Great videos but seeing that the gaskets was fine what a job for preventive maintenance

[@tuned_tunas]

Gaskets definitely weren’t okay. They was already failing. Common problem with VQs. I refuse to pay the 2k+ Nissan quotes. If you got it like that by all means man. But that’s all money I can use for more mods

[@vinny6_9]

have you tried retapping the hole first? could've gone one size up if you couldn't save original thread size. way easier than replacing the rear cover because of one hole.

[@tuned_tunas]

First we stripped the head of the bolt. Then we snapped the bolt trying to take it out with a bolt extractor. So we rethreaded the hole and it wasn’t tightening to spec. Kept getting loose so I figured that instead of having to enlarge just one. I rather have it be done right.

[@vinny6_9]

[@tuned_tunas]

They have certain marked areas on the face cover where you are supposed to start separating it. I used one of them automotive spatulas and a hammer to get it in there and start it. Starting it is the hardest part. My tips are just to start off slow not too fast or you’ll carve into the metal.

[@johnguldin2735]

Replace the coolant with Evans waterless coolant for racing it has a higher boiling point. It comes only in half gallon.

Hey Tony, I’m getting an engine swap due to my hr having rod knock due to gallery gasket leak. But because of the expense of doing full timing job and it not being necessary on a 70k mile engine, just want to confirm, can the gallery gasket job be done on its own ie without doing any of the timing? And if so is there anything you think is highly recommended to do at the same time like guides or tensioners or water pump. Basically the minimum effective job for a 70km engine purely as maintenance while the engine is out. Thx brother.

[@tuned_tunas]

You have to take off the timing chain to do the gallery gaskets. So you will either need to mark where they are before you take it off. Or use the markings already on it and align everything back up. I kept the same water pump. I would only see you needing to replace it if the pulley is loose.

What’s the ball thing you used to get the gunk off called

[@tuned_tunas]

Its a ball sander. Got it at harbor freight. I recommend a plastic scraper. You can find those at autozone. They are blue and the blade is orange. Way better.

@@tuned_tunas Thanks bro

[@tuned_tunas]

Always glad to help bro🙏💯

[@pushhrodd01]

Why did you buy the garbage gaskets again. You should’ve got the reinforced ones

[@tuned_tunas]

On the website it said these are not the original ones. They're upgraded oem with metal in them

[@Terry1212]

The OEM ones were upgraded. They're fine

[@tc-og7qy]

Do the 03s have this issue?

[@tuned_tunas]

Not as common but something to keep in mind. Keep an eye on that oil pressure guage

[@Viralworldlifestyle1]

Where you from bro can you work on my 370z timing chain kit hit me up I stay in LA

[@tuned_tunas]

We are far apart my dude. I’m up north

Ayyy my boy works at Costco aha same

[@tuned_tunas]

Ohh you seen that😂😂💪

[@animalvlogs5101]

Hey bro! question i took mines apart i didnt mark timing chain so i know how things are lined up. Will it be hard to time without taking valve covers off. Advice needed bro thanks. I dont care if you write 4 paragraphs detail step by step Lol!!

[@tuned_tunas]

Its okay if you didn't mark your timing chains. They have marks on them already to help you time it. Its easier for me to time without valve covers but I dont see why you wouldn't be able to. I made a video about it as well. So instead of typing it all out. Here you go !! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6m5fYh3j7ikadE Hope this helps you !!

All love bro 🙏 Glad to be able to help people going through the same things I did. More to come. Have a great day. DM me if you got any more questions💪💯

[@kikoliko3332]

Damn my z has 80k miles and the oil pressure isn’t to where you say should i have this done ??

[@tuned_tunas]

Most definitely. Not only are you keeping up with maintenance to make sure it’ll run forever. But not hitting proper oil pressure could be loosing power based on how bad it is.

[@anthonyestrada1917]

Tuned tunas how much would you charge me to change mine on my hr lol?

[@tuned_tunas]

I do these videos to educate and share the knowledge so people can feel confident doing it themselves. But if you still feel like you can't. I might have someone who can. Feel free to DM us

[@anthonyestrada1917]

@Tuned tunas I felt pretty confident until me needing to adjust timing and timing is super important so I don’t wanna mess up my engine, but yea if you can help me out that would be awesome I’ll buy all parts and pay cash I stay in Fontana ca idk if we are too far fam🤞🏼

[@tuned_tunas]

Yeah we are definitely pretty far bro !! About 6hrs driving. I got a video on how to get perfect timing on your VQ but if you rather have a proffesional do it. I trust Unique motorsports in rancho Cucamonga.

[@nikodimosmarkose6962]

Shame on Nissan for using Phillips screws in those gaskets.

[@brandonrodriguez6901]

Where did you get all these?

Get what the gaskets ?? Z1 Motorsports

[@brandonrodriguez6901]

@@tuned_tunas yeah my leaks oil from there right onto my alternator and it’s coming from up top

[@tuned_tunas]

Could be power steering could be your gaskets. Only one way to find out.

Damaged threads in aluminum = Heli-certs and send it.

Haha why didn't I think of this😂🔥

How do you remove the oil dip stick do you just pull until it comes out didn’t wanna break it ?

There's a 10mm holding it.

Can't go wrong with a VHR my guy.

[@tuned_tunas]

I love me an HR bro but if I had to choose I would try to get both for 6k flat and whoever is down is what I would go with.

[@AngelGarage]

Could have watched my video. I went into more detail. But good job the job is a pain

All the videos I've see was multiple parts and not clear enough. I must have not seen your video.

We just out here helping the community bro. Thats what its all about💪🔥

[@AngelGarage]

@@tuned_tunas that's why I do it

Keep doing your thing bro💪

[@elcolin_]

Is it just the camera or is the crank pulley bent to sh*t?! Wtf happened lol maybe change that?

[@tuned_tunas]

Most likely the video bro. Bought the pulley new and used it for over 20k miles. Been holding up great

[@elmoz122]

A good way to remember where all the bolts go back is to trace out the timing cover on a large sheet of cardboard

[@tuned_tunas]

Yes agreed I just put them all in small baggies and labeled them. Jist my preference. Everyone got their own

[@markangel2919]

Should of got the galley gasket from conceptzperformance

[@tuned_tunas]

They sent me theirs on accident and I didn't like the quality.

[@markangel2919]

Tuned Tunas that oem shit going to fail again bro eps tuning redesigned the gaskets

[@tuned_tunas]

Everyone I asked said these work fine. But we'll be putting these to the test.

[@markangel2919]

Tuned Tunas they made the new style to prevent the oem from leaking again in the future

[@tuned_tunas]

If we have any issues with these we'll give those a try. We appreciated the feedback🙏🔥
