The magnetic Retarder where the solenoids are bolted on needs to be replaced, after you must have replaced the cam and vvt sensors, the gallery gasket replacement was supposed to be the last resolution.
for real, he went for the most labourious solution, first replace the solenoids, then the vvt position sensors, then the actuators. do whatever before actually getting inside.
i want to do my own galley gasket change but im scared i might fuck something up but its cheap doing it yourself , only thing I really know how to do is oil change , spark plugs and coil pack changes lol .
If thats all u know how to do u likely dont have all the tools or space you will want to do this. However if you have good attention to detail and memory and are willing to spend an xtra $100 on tools you might not have already its not hard at all. With that said i would not recomend doing all this work to only do the gasket. Im replacing everthing that will cause a problem sooner than later
Good video. The correct way of saying it is it’s gallery not galley but good explanation overall. But I replaced mine on my IPL with 50k for preventative maintenance using eps tuning gaskets and hardware. The oem hardware stinks and is a known issue to have it back out along with the bad paper gasket. The Updated OEM isnt much better. The best way to tell if your gallery gasket is going is to oil pressure test on warm idol if it’s below double digit psi know it’s going out. Thanks and subbed

Man I just did so much work to my g. It’s an entirely new car. I just did this repair along with my valve covers and I can’t get it to start now. I’m throwing a u0101 code no communication with tcm. The car fires up what seams like normal but then instantly the idle jumps all up and down from 1200 to 300 until it dies a couple seconds later. To me it seams like it’s not getting gas. But I’m so lost. I had the fuel pump fuse out the entire project and I cranked it to gain chain tension. With the fuse back in I can’t get it to start :( so lost. And I hope I didn’t ruin my car.
Yes. I believe it was a false code. Ran a compression test and I got a dreadful 60 psi in my first cylinder. So stopped there and didn’t even bother testing the others. I believe my timing is off I possibly wasn’t at TDC. Not sure how the valves held up but they are most likely bent slightly. I’m doing some research on some jwt c2 cams since I will be taking apart the heads. Good chance I’ll take it to a shop for that. The car has manny mods and I can’t wait to have it back.
@@chrispope822 U0101 is a false code. I have that code intermittently on my 2 Q50’s (2018 and 2019) Every time I flash my ECU with Ecutek for data logging, it always see the same code, which I always clears it via laptop on Ecutek program. BTW, my P0021 was gone after replacing the VVT bank 2 solenoid on my VQ35HR EX35. I know you did that too, but my local shop told me that a cam sprocket can trigger that too.
I actually have a very similar issue with my newer 350z hr that I bought it has a u1001 and u1000 it has a hard time shifting and the idel surges from 2k to 3k.

@@ERICSDIYGARAGE thanks. Car is currently at Infiniti suitland MD getting head gasket replaced. Do you know if there's an infiniti part number for the bolts? They refuse to put in just the gaskets. They want $550 for the whole metal assembly.
How come you didn't replace the water pump since you were in there? When that goes bad it's just as bad as having a gallery gasket leak, maybe even worse since water doesn't compress like oil.
@ERICSDIYGARAGE does this make your car misfire and jump when coming off from a stop. I noticed my car cold is fine. Once it starts heating up I start jumping when I touch the gas pedal from a stop. Like a jerk
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE Well you have the camshaft position sensors and then you also have the VVT solenoids. The camshaft position sensors are on the upper part of the sprocket covers, whereas the variable timing solenoids are on the lower part. So that's 4 parts in total. If you've replaced the solenoids, I'd try replacing the camshaft position sensors next, otherwise do the solenoids first
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE Last would be the 1 crankshaft sensor on the back of the engine, then it's on to wire harnesses for any small breaks or ground connection issues. Then lastly would be the ECM issue. I'm going thru this as well with a P0011 code. Need to check oil pressure to see if a gallery gasket is the potential issue. Sucks
Great video dude! Just have one question, did you have to time the engine or set the timing at all? I saw one video on this job one time and the guy was setting the timing
Don't need to unless you mess up the timing while you're in there. If all you're doing is taking off the left tensioner to allow enough slack to reach these oil galleries then it's unlikely you'll mess up the timing
Ummmmm....im late as hell, but isn't that the camshaft position sensor code? I had that once. I believe that it's the bank 2 sensor. Hopefully you figured it out. Good thing is....your gallery gaskets are good to go now.
i have both codes on my g37 when i disconnect my battery and reconnect it it runs perfectly but the codes come back eventually would that mean its more likely to be my sensors messed up?
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE thanks bro I figured it out I’m doing the same job you did right now water pump went out galley gasket are also damage but I had no codes.
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE hmm well if you are still having issues. May need to clean or replace the vvt sensors and or do the relearn procedure for them. Im battling something similar to my 2009 g37 coupe but it only has 77k miles and I only went over an oil change once. Im getting p0011 and p0340 and replaced the cam sensor and still having issues. But in my case mines won't start unless I unplug the cam sensor on passenger side and rides really rough like the transmission is out. Took it to infiniti recently and they are saying the cam phaser. But I highly doubt they even took mines apart like your car lol
@@createbad I would swap your cam sensors over if the problem follows you probably have a bad cam sensor if it stays your have a timing issue the crank and cam sensors work together so if one it bad they all have a hard time communicating
That’s so weird is the p0021 same code for the DE? I tought that code came from the vvt solenoid 🙃 might have to do the gallery gaskets tho I do have low oil pressure but I have a oil pressure sensor from Amazon
I changed the vvt seleniod before I took the timing cover off but it didn't work. It ended up being a bad cam sprocket phaser that was stuck in the advance position
@@nssjumpshot5827 well I ended up going from a accord coupe exl to the pointless under powered awd is250…. Nothing about that car makes any sense to me……
i’m getting an oil pressure light at idle but not while driving. but the computer has no codes. one pending related to my front left o2 sensor… but no codes.. is it possible for the gaskets to be blown but no code and no drivability differences?
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE yeah yesterday i replaced the sensor with a car quest brand.. issue persisted.. so i’m waiting on infiniti to deliver me a oem one… if that doesn’t work then i guess i’ll have to pressure test it which none of the techs at my shop has a gauge not even the lead tech. how weird
@@stargasmgaming i had a 2009 nissan maxima and the oil pressure light would only come on at idle.I decided to replace the gallery gasket (and this was the problem),as soon as i took the oil pan out to remove the 2 screws i saw a piece of the gallery gasket in the pan.Was an easy job im not mechanic but saw a couple vids.
Hey bro thanks for all your videos but i have a problem in g37 2010. Before i change the gasket and stuff i just wanna be sure that im changing the wrong part that is causing the problem.. the radiator empty and reservoir is full.. thats my problem.. no hose leak at all, thermo changed, radiator cap genuine part changed, no air in the system bc in using special coolant refill tool.. due to searches they said gasket but the oil is so pure in the engine and is not mixed with water.. I was thinking about the radiator maybe? Could failure radiator fail to vacuum the coolant from the reservoir? When i open the cap i feel like its pressure more that vacuuming.. its like always pressure in the radiator no vacuum at all thats why the radiator dont gain water back from The reservoir.. what do you think i should do?
The overflow tanks designe on these vehicles is not great it should fill the radiator if it's running low, but they don't work well. I tell people to first fill the radiator where the radiator cap screw in and use a funnel to bleed the air out. If you don't have any coolant inside the radiator it's going somewhere. The engine oil doesn't have to have signs off coolant contamination the head gasket can still have a hairline Crack and consume coolant that way. I would take it to a mechanic to diagnose it for you
@@ERICSDIYGARAGEthe radiator is emptying the coolant in the reservoir when it operats to normal tempreture. but then it doesnt gain back the over flowed water after the car cools down. that means there no enough vaccum to put the cap's safey lock down and allow water to go back to the radiator. i have to do that evey other day and pour the overflowed water back from reservoir to radiator with the same amount of water flowed. that indicates, there is no hose leak anywhere. im sure that there is no any leak. just the water doesnt go back to the radiator when the car cools down.
Hey brother, did you fix your g37 yet?. If not, did try to replace the vvt actuators, or at least clean them. That could be a possibility that is causing the issue.
I swap the front vvt solenoids multiple times with different one and it doesn't seem to make any difference are you referring to the vvt motor in the back of the engine
I have p0021 and p0011 i had it at a mechanic for 4 months and he couldn’t figure it out it’s in limp mode but when i disconnect my battery and reconnect it the cel is gone and it runs perfectly but it eventually comes back if anyone knows anything please let me know!
the purpose of buying it is to flip it and already as it is i had invested more money than I would like, the water pump was fine so I decided not to go further into the rabbit whole
Uhhh maybe cus its more $$$... My G is like a typical Nissan a straight headache and costly. I cant even enjoy my 08 since I bought it 4 months Ive been having to replace part after part.

You did a bunch of work for nothing. I had the same issue with my frontier but I replaced the oil pump and cleaned the pick up tube the issue was fixed after that.
first of all, you have a different engine. Also, you dont have issues with gallery gaskets leaking. The issue this car has was a bad driver side camshaft sprocket that was stuck in the advance position. Not that you would know since, like I said, you have a totally different engine
why didn't you check the fuel pressure to be sure it was the galley gasket before going through all this pointless work bro lol but did u ever figure out what was wrong with it ? hope u did man that really blows
Fuel pressure wouldnt cause the timing issue the car would run and drive fine after I cleared the code it ended up being the camshaft that was broken and stock in the advanced position at all time.

glad it helped out, this car has 191k miles and the gasket was still in okay shape so hopefully you never have to replace it
Hey man great video! Question. Are those the same parts numbers that would fit my 2004 350Z for the galley seals?
I was told they are the same but I would double check on forums also
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE yeah I'll cross check with the dealer before I order them. Thank man!
Can you give me a run down on how to remove that radiator part ? Lol
Where did you get the bolts for the gallery gaskets? Thanks
Concept z sells a kit that offers the upgraded bolts
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE thanks. Car is currently at Infiniti suitland MD getting head gasket replaced. Do you know if there's an infiniti part number for the bolts? They refuse to put in just the gaskets. They want $550 for the whole metal assembly.
@rchen404 the bolts are not oem so no they don't sell them at nissan. And yes that's the dealership for you
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE thanks. Wish I had the skills do to it myself. I'd end up destroying the engine
Does the new gasket require sealant and the need bolts thread lock?
short answer is No
It doesn't hurt to use threadlocker on the bolts. Extra insurance after all that effort is not a bad thing. Use blue Loctite.
what was the probelm im about to do that an i do have the p0021 and p0524
i know this video is old but how did you get the bolt out the top left galley cover
the screw under the left side sprocket
I was able to get it with a screw driver you can Rotate the engine if the chain is still on that might give you more clearance
How come you didn't replace the water pump since you were in there? When that goes bad it's just as bad as having a gallery gasket leak, maybe even worse since water doesn't compress like oil.
If I was going to keep the car, I would have.
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE That makes sense then. Good video.
Do you recommend to change the chain along with the galley gasket ?
No, this car had over 200k miles and the guides and chains looked fine
Does the timing chain tensioner have a gasket? I removed my tensioner, and there was no gasket there?
No they don't
What would you say was wrong with the car
For sure sounds like a phaser issue or stretched chain
I was the cam phaser it broke in the advance position
Cam phaser where is that located?
@ERICSDIYGARAGE does this make your car misfire and jump when coming off from a stop. I noticed my car cold is fine. Once it starts heating up I start jumping when I touch the gas pedal from a stop. Like a jerk
Mine started having a random misfire after doing the timing it runs rough now
You should replace both camshaft position sensors
I swapped both sensors but it didn't make a difference but maybe I'll still replace them
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE Well you have the camshaft position sensors and then you also have the VVT solenoids. The camshaft position sensors are on the upper part of the sprocket covers, whereas the variable timing solenoids are on the lower part. So that's 4 parts in total. If you've replaced the solenoids, I'd try replacing the camshaft position sensors next, otherwise do the solenoids first
yes I'm familiar I've replaced both the vvt solenoids and both camshaft sensors but it didn't make a difference
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE Last would be the 1 crankshaft sensor on the back of the engine, then it's on to wire harnesses for any small breaks or ground connection issues. Then lastly would be the ECM issue. I'm going thru this as well with a P0011 code. Need to check oil pressure to see if a gallery gasket is the potential issue. Sucks
Great video dude! Just have one question, did you have to time the engine or set the timing at all? I saw one video on this job one time and the guy was setting the timing
Don't need to unless you mess up the timing while you're in there. If all you're doing is taking off the left tensioner to allow enough slack to reach these oil galleries then it's unlikely you'll mess up the timing
Ummmmm....im late as hell, but isn't that the camshaft position sensor code?
I had that once. I believe that it's the bank 2 sensor. Hopefully you figured it out. Good thing is....your gallery gaskets are good to go now.
i have both codes on my g37 when i disconnect my battery and reconnect it it runs perfectly but the codes come back eventually would that mean its more likely to be my sensors messed up?
You didn't apply thread lock to the bolts for the covers ??
No
would've been helpful if you shown how to remove the top left bolt
Turn the sprocket to get clearance
Can this be brung up with a p0014 and p0024 p0128
How do you remember what bolts screws goes after removing them ?
Practice makes perfect. I work on these engine a few times a week. What I do is remember the placement of the bolts that are not the same size only
How did you removed the dipstick
it just pulls off after you remove a 12 mm that holds it down
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE thanks bro I figured it out I’m doing the same job you did right now water pump went out galley gasket are also damage but I had no codes.
Did you change the driver VVT solenoid?
Yes it wasn't that. It ended up being a broken camshaft phaser sprocket
I have the same problem never could fix it change all the sensor and the oil and timing chain
Probably was a broken cam phaser sprocket
Did you check your cam phaser. One of them may be bad.
yeah that's the first thing I changed
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE hmm well if you are still having issues. May need to clean or replace the vvt sensors and or do the relearn procedure for them. Im battling something similar to my 2009 g37 coupe but it only has 77k miles and I only went over an oil change once. Im getting p0011 and p0340 and replaced the cam sensor and still having issues. But in my case mines won't start unless I unplug the cam sensor on passenger side and rides really rough like the transmission is out. Took it to infiniti recently and they are saying the cam phaser. But I highly doubt they even took mines apart like your car lol
Can you also tell me where you got the socket for the crank pully. Thanks
@@createbad here you go, amzn.to/2LmfLTR
@@createbad I would swap your cam sensors over if the problem follows you probably have a bad cam sensor if it stays your have a timing issue the crank and cam sensors work together so if one it bad they all have a hard time communicating
Change the 2 front solenoid and the magnetic piece in the front of the motor next time that what I did
Yoooo how did you get the magnets out of the big one
That’s so weird is the p0021 same code for the DE? I tought that code came from the vvt solenoid 🙃 might have to do the gallery gaskets tho I do have low oil pressure but I have a oil pressure sensor from Amazon
The des have the same seleniod and des don't really have gallery gasket issues
you shouldve bought the EPS gallery gasket, why rebuy the oem part that broke
the part number got updated
Did the same job and thought the same thing and it failed now i gotta do it again
I just had the same code. It’s the vvt solenoid
I changed the vvt seleniod before I took the timing cover off but it didn't work. It ended up being a bad cam sprocket phaser that was stuck in the advance position
Omg I might be reconsidering get this 2011 Infiniti G37 x…..👎 is that gasket issue only on the coupe….?
2012 and older so the only g37 without the issue is 2013
@@nssjumpshot5827 well I ended up going from a accord coupe exl to the pointless under powered awd is250…. Nothing about that car makes any sense to me……

i’m getting an oil pressure light at idle but not while driving. but the computer has no codes. one pending related to my front left o2 sensor… but no codes.. is it possible for the gaskets to be blown but no code and no drivability differences?
yeah it's possible, you can change the sensor to see if it's bad but if it isn't I wouldn't keep driving it
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE yeah yesterday i replaced the sensor with a car quest brand.. issue persisted.. so i’m waiting on infiniti to deliver me a oem one… if that doesn’t work then i guess i’ll have to pressure test it which none of the techs at my shop has a gauge not even the lead tech. how weird
@@stargasmgaming i had a 2009 nissan maxima and the oil pressure light would only come on at idle.I decided to replace the gallery gasket (and this was the problem),as soon as i took the oil pan out to remove the 2 screws i saw a piece of the gallery gasket in the pan.Was an easy job im not mechanic but saw a couple vids.
thank you Bro
What was the problem the car had
Omg thats a lot of work
You didn’t have to remove the timing chains to get access to the gallery gaskets ?
Not completely you just have to remove the primary timing tensioner and move the guide to the side
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE perfect brotha. I was always afraid of doing the gallery because of setting the timing. It this helps forsure 🙌🏽
Does it affect all Nissan motors? 4 cylinders?
no this applies to the v6 only
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE so if I am having same symptoms where should I look at with 4cyl motor
Hey bro thanks for all your videos but i have a problem in g37 2010. Before i change the gasket and stuff i just wanna be sure that im changing the wrong part that is causing the problem..
the radiator empty and reservoir is full.. thats my problem.. no hose leak at all, thermo changed, radiator cap genuine part changed, no air in the system bc in using special coolant refill tool.. due to searches they said gasket but the oil is so pure in the engine and is not mixed with water..
I was thinking about the radiator maybe? Could failure radiator fail to vacuum the coolant from the reservoir?
When i open the cap i feel like its pressure more that vacuuming.. its like always pressure in the radiator no vacuum at all thats why the radiator dont gain water back from The reservoir.. what do you think i should do?
The overflow tanks designe on these vehicles is not great it should fill the radiator if it's running low, but they don't work well. I tell people to first fill the radiator where the radiator cap screw in and use a funnel to bleed the air out. If you don't have any coolant inside the radiator it's going somewhere. The engine oil doesn't have to have signs off coolant contamination the head gasket can still have a hairline Crack and consume coolant that way. I would take it to a mechanic to diagnose it for you
@@ERICSDIYGARAGEthe radiator is emptying the coolant in the reservoir when it operats to normal tempreture. but then it doesnt gain back the over flowed water after the car cools down. that means there no enough vaccum to put the cap's safey lock down and allow water to go back to the radiator. i have to do that evey other day and pour the overflowed water back from reservoir to radiator with the same amount of water flowed. that indicates, there is no hose leak anywhere. im sure that there is no any leak. just the water doesnt go back to the radiator when the car cools down.
@@samo0golfsounds like a head gasket issue. Did you figure this out?
Mechanic said head gasket is okay.. my last option could be coolant feeder.. there is pressure but no vacuum!
U ever figure this out
Hey brother, did you fix your g37 yet?.
If not, did try to replace the vvt actuators, or at least clean them.
That could be a possibility that is causing the issue.
I swap the front vvt solenoids multiple times with different one and it doesn't seem to make any difference are you referring to the vvt motor in the back of the engine
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE no.
The solenoids in front of the engine. One controls the camshaft on bank 1,and the other on bank 2.
yes I have changed those but didn't fix the issue
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE Damn.
That's crazy.
shortly after this video the engine blew up lol
That job was already done before you did it I would bet.
And it was run so long it ruined the cam phaser
Ever change the oil, Batman?
changed it like 5 times
Man that's alot of work
Yes, it definitely is
Video was good BUT, you said you would show how to set the timing and you didn't.
I have p0021 and p0011 i had it at a mechanic for 4 months and he couldn’t figure it out it’s in limp mode but when i disconnect my battery and reconnect it the cel is gone and it runs perfectly but it eventually comes back if anyone knows anything please let me know!
Either dirty oil or the cam phaser is damaged do to low oil pressure or clogged passages
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE okay that makes sense because i also had a low oil pressure code is that a difficult fix?
why didnt you do the water pump while at it and have a solid car running for a while
the purpose of buying it is to flip it and already as it is i had invested more money than I would like, the water pump was fine so I decided not to go further into the rabbit whole
Uhhh maybe cus its more $$$... My G is like a typical Nissan a straight headache and costly. I cant even enjoy my 08 since I bought it 4 months Ive been having to replace part after part.

You did a bunch of work for nothing. I had the same issue with my frontier but I replaced the oil pump and cleaned the pick up tube the issue was fixed after that.
first of all, you have a different engine. Also, you dont have issues with gallery gaskets leaking. The issue this car has was a bad driver side camshaft sprocket that was stuck in the advance position. Not that you would know since, like I said, you have a totally different engine
why didn't you check the fuel pressure to be sure it was the galley gasket before going through all this pointless work bro lol but did u ever figure out what was wrong with it ? hope u did man that really blows
Fuel pressure wouldnt cause the timing issue the car would run and drive fine after I cleared the code it ended up being the camshaft that was broken and stock in the advanced position at all time.
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE I heard wrong then my apologies ..at least you fixed it tho 🙏
