appreciate the video. i always do a bit of research before jumping into a project. i found this to be very helpful. i knew exactly what to expect. i found the oil pan gasket had been recently replaced. however, the metal rings from the old gasket were still on the studs. so when i yanked the old gasket there were several studs with 2 metal rings. i think i found the culprit.

Great job!!

Why did you not point out where the head gasket was blown?

Saved my ass thanks bro !

Loved the video and the guy who did it , hate the idiot in back sanding

Those 10mm bolts at the back of the upper intake manifold are impossible to get to. How on earth did you get to them with just an extended 10mm socket? I can’t get a purch on it not even with a universal joint I am pulling my hair out

sometimes might sound stupid but mine have 350k + , and I want to fix. this whole vid is like 75% talking about VQ30DE , but seems to be the same engine . I really need to build and have it like new . got to say everyone that comes here like , subscribe , share, lets help our NISSAN community. and to the Channel we ( or myself ) very thankful for all that work and efforts to keep cam in every angle 🙌💪

Does it works for nissan maxima 3.5 sl ?

The perfect video for this job

Thanks bud, I'm looking to buy a used motor and now this is very helpful for reverse tear down. Much love to your works on 2.4L 4gkj engine.

Thanks especially for discussion of removal tool for line near accumulator.

How long did something like this take you

Great video

What kind of silicone do I use to replace the factory silicone you mentioned using after removing the oil pan?

What size screws for the oil pan ??

This video is Dummy proof because it helped me convert to c5 Brakes. Lol Thanks for this Video

Will this work on a manual transmission Mazda 6?

My dude. 🔥

Tq good info

Do you need to drain the engine oil ?

For those doing this replacement, putting the car on ramps is much safer than jackstands. Then, if you remove the splash shield, which is very easy and fast to do, it makes it much easier to get the connector apart and off and back onto the post. Mando is the OE supplier of the sensor, and many parts supply houses carry this brand.

Fuckkk BMWs ! So hard to reach the ET12 , my wrench to wide hitting the transmission. This is not a beginner maintenance. You must be very professional and have all the necessary tools for this type of job

I have a 2011 with this very same problem. I ordered the kit and I'm going to do the job over a couple of days. It's very involved but not impossible. I just have to take it slow because I'm undergoing cancer treatment

The harmonic balancer on these 2.4’s should be removable by hand in most cases. No need for the puller.

Would you recommend getting aftermarket high performance spark plugs or just stick to genuine mopar spark plugs

Thanks for taking us along for the "ride". The steps you laid out and the torque specs are greatly appreciated. I'm not sure why. if you went so deep into repairing that engine, why you didn't do the water pump while you had everything apart. Also why you didn't use new Cam Solenoids? At least clean them using a 9 volt battery and a glass of gas or B12 cleaner. The top was full of Sludge. Also the intake has an internal "PCV" section that clogs up. That must of needed to be cleaned out as well. Maybe the Seafoam Treatment your going to use will address that issue?

What is the tool that you need that is very important because my needs a timming chain done and I know there’s a tool you need but what is it

What a great tutorial my brother..wow. I just need to know who to install a water pump but after this I want do a new timing assembly

Do put your oil cap back on and put a rag gently inside your throttle body before removing coil packs to prevent dropping anything into your engine.

Why do you cut the part out that shows you put the alternator back in? The install is the biggest part of installing something, and you just cut it out.

Its a 15 minute job. You can do it without jacking it up.

Why buy a new existing manifold? Get a nickel rod, heat it up, and weld it. Clean the rust off first.

What kind of alternator volt do I need for my 2011 Jeep patriot 2.4??

Just did one on the side of the road 200 miles from home and it's a pain in the ass piece of shit design

Was hoping to hear the noise

Only thing left that must be done is a UV protectant. A LOT of YT are passing on bad info that you should use some 2K protectant spray. Problem is, most of the recommended 2K protectant sprays are for PAINT, not Lexan. Both of those are very different in moisture retention, etc, and you want to get a protectant that is made specifically for Lexan. Not a big difference in price, and most of the 3M kits have the appropriate protectant for Lexan. If you are going to do a lot of this, its just as easy to get several different wet sandpaper grits, and a bottle of cutting compound and polishing compound and a couple different pads that will work out much cheaper than $15 a set. Just remember to re-apply the UV coating every 6-12 months depending upon where you are.

Aren't those pieces bonded together, which means the part failed such that it slid down and the tensioner is now pushing against the thin rib? How many miles were on this engine?

Fantastic video, most say/show having to drop the engine! 170K on my 06 Murano, and timing still seems good, no rattle noticed. Only thing I can see that might make it easier is to pull as many things like the overflow canister out completely to make more room, probably a few other things as well. Great video so far. Also, I found I Do Cars recently, and he tears down an engine every week and its both awesomely scary with the complexity on some engines, and very instructive on how damaging it is trying to save a few bucks stretching out cheap oil changes at the cost of internal problems, carboning up oil control rings, etc. Also #2, isn't it also good practice to replace the water pump while in there?

Brooo… fix your air hose fitting! How does that not drive you crazy!?

Man their bolts were loose as heck 😮 12:42

Why not just connect the pcv hose. I don't think this truck even needed an intake gasket, but I guess it's good for content

easier just to buy new oil pan

This video helped me out a lot. I've changed a few alternators on other makes but this was the most work I ever had to do just to change an alternator.

Just did this today. Thank you so much

Just changed out my alt. on a 2014 patriot 2.0. Advance auto $150 for 115 amp. The hardest part was getting it back in until i removed the oil filter and brought it in that way. Dont try and fit it back in the way it came out. total fail until i decided to change my oil in the process and remove the oil filter. Alternator when in with no problem.

What the name of the adhesive glue thing you used ? Thanks

What was your car doing before this? Was it shutting off??

Never never never ever put anti-seize on a spark plug. First, if it touches the electrode it will short out. Second, it will make the plugs harder to replace in the future.

Wow. As a semi-pro mostly backyard mechanic I would not even attempt this. What I'd call a nightmare job. I thought the firewall spark plugs were hard! Nice to know about those two bolts holding the timing case cover on _that are inside the oil pan!_ Those would have been a dealbreaker..

Don't see well
