so many people probably lost it everytime you drilled the bolts in without threading with fingers first haha. very good video, im not so worried to do this after watching. thank you.
Thank you for the advice I will make sure to do that. Seems the biggest issue for me is going to be torquing down the gasket screw hiding behind the cam phaser teeth.
@@slowassz3385 I did too. I left that one for last. As I tightening all the ones I was able to get to I started to get a feel how much torque I was using with my hand. And I tightened that one by hand in between the teeth of the cam. I later found a long reach allen wrench with a socket I could have used with the torque wrench.If I did this you again I highly recommend to find top dead center first where all the Mark's line up. Will have to take out the tool holding the engine in place.
Anyone looking to do this yourself. Just take your time, take lots of photos during disassembly, and have confidence. Saved $2k by not having it done at the dealer
just done mine..took me about a 8-9 hours start to finish..first time doing one..no i didnt have to remove the front end..just put it in gear brakes on to break harmonic pulley lose,i reuse everything even gallery bolts..bolts are not the issue..is the paper gasket..cant hold so much oil pressure..loctite helps with that..had fun doing it
Great Video.... i'm getting my gallery Gaskets, waterpump and head gaskets done on my FX35... should have it back by tomorrow or monday. My heads were slightly warped and they fixed that.
Hey kids, put blue Loctite (shake it up) on the galley gasket screws or they will vibrate lose and the gasket will blow. This is the most common reason why they blow out. Also the water pump O-rings have a blue and tan mark on them. One is forward and one is rearward but don't remember which one goes where. He puts blue in the rear. Take care not to rub them on the impeller or you may nick one. Also, also DO NOT put anti-seize on spark plugs. Put a small dab of grease on the two small doughnut O-rings 10:39 on the top gasket cover so they will stay in during assembly. Kids on low in-lb torques DO NOT hold the head of the wrench, you will retard the torque. Let the gasket maker set up for 24 hours before starting the car. Angel, thanks for a detailed series of videos.
The most in depth video I've seen on the gallery gasket. I've came back several times for reference. Just finished up the job only question I have is do you have the torque specs for the 2 bolts underneath the oil pan. Thanks in advance and great job on the video man.
Thanks for the reply. I've looked around I got 3 different numbers 13, 21, and 41 foot pounds I went with 21 just to be on the safe side but from the layout I see from nissan says 13 which I feel is to low for the upper oil pan. Guess I'll know for sure after I start her up tomorrow thanks again though.

Everything seems far less intimidating once you get the front clip of the car off and the accessories disconnected. I just bought a 08 G37s coupe and I just wanna see what I got myself into. lol
@@robbydiesel9345 still working on it, I just got new vvel gaskets and judt gotta put all the pulleys back on, timing cover is on and engine is on time.

Mannnn screw this mine just went out😂 couldn’t handle the flame map haha, just gunna take it to the shop I don’t like the car enough to give it this much time
im about ready to do mine. 2008 g37 journey. 175k mi. what if the chain skipped some teeth? then putting it back in the same place with the marking pen marks might be the wrong timing? . one mechanic video showed that when you put the tensioners back on then they need oil pressure to build up right before you start the car for the first time. when car is ready to start , first pull fuse to fuel pump, then turn the motor a little, then go and pop the fuel pump fuse back in, then fully start the engine. said it prevents the chain from skipping becasue the tensioners need oil pressure to build up a little inside from the cranking of the engine before it actually starts. i dont know, have you heard that.? thanks , this was a good video. i was able to see stuff i couldnt see in the other vids. 😊
Great point but remember I'm not a professional mechanic, everything I learned is from bits and pieces from all the videos I've seen and tried to make a more comprehensible video that people can follow and put it together in one video, Plus what I read on the manual. im sure there are steps I missed that might be important. I have since driven 5,000 miles and no problem what so ever and didn't loose any power. All I can say is make a video of your self and post it
@@iztheterrible that's all I try to do... be helpful. My warranty expired and I saved myself at least $3,000. With the money I saved I bought a jd2 tube bender, and an omni pro 220 welder. Just imagine what u can buy with the money saved.
I know I didn't do it. But if you do decide to do it, make sure you are at TDC. You may need to spin the motor 20 times to get the dots to line up properly.
@@lazarorivera3384 the engine turned out good. I put 8,000 miles since and the oil galley gasket broke again. I should not have used oem gasket. I'm going to fix it again and then sell the bitch...lol
@@AngelGarage ok great ... didn't notice you mentioning the blue vs the brown markings in the video. O know it's hard to remember everything. I didn't see the two small metal screen filters in your video as well or pressing in the crank gasket ... so many little steps that will totally screw up this repair!!! You have to be careful. How long did you let your silicon gasket for the complete cover set up??? Just curious if you had any issues with yours? The bottom pan seal is very important!!!
How many miles on the car when this failed and what's the very first sign you have a problem? I have a 2010 g37s with 70k on it. No issues so far. I will be adding an oil pressure gauge asap!
I worked on it 2 or 3 hrs on weekends when I was off from work. So it took me 2 months. I had ordered parts and had to wait and there were weekends I didn't do anything.
Thank God I'm not the only one thats noticed hahaha. Had a guy at the shop I work at with about 30 years of experience use a gun to put any bolt on engine without hand tightening it first 😱 including sparkplugs. Got fired right away thank god

I was stressing about doing this job but you made it look soo easy gave me the confidence to get it done myself.

Also if you are going to do the work don't be afraid to take lots of pictures and or videos. It helps alot

I try. I'm no expert, but I try. Thanks
Doing my gallery gasket right now, you’re a brave soul not setting the timing 😂. Very good tutorial, nonetheless.
I marked the chain and the sprocket. But yeah if I do it again I will set the timing next time. Thanks for watching
Don't forget to subscribe 😉
Thanks for sharing sir.
It’s a hell of a job to replace those galley gaskets but I think it worth’s to save money.
Very good video.
Thanks again.
Love video low volume but like video wish saw from start to finish may have to get a Chilton

Thx i appreciate that. I got the torque specs from the nicoclub.com website. I can't remember off hand . I would have to look for it.
I'm thinking it's the same torque spec as the timing cover

Just finished up thanks for the information!
Replacing every cheap part you can reach is the correct way. Labor costs more than parts.
That's cringy watching you use a drill right away without starting those bolts by hand first.
its 12 inch pounds mate, you overtorqued those tiny machine screws lmfaoooooo dude your engine is gonna blow up.

youre the best i plan on doing this soon what torque wrech do you use? i know its a husky but do you know the model?
Thx I don't know the model. I got it at Home Depot or lowes, I can't remember which. I got it because it can torque all the way 9 lbs. Good luck.
I know I didn't do it. But if you do decide to do it, make sure you are at TDC. You may need to spin the motor 20 times to get the dots to line up properly.
Never use a hand drill to work on an engine. Use a torque wrench and try to use a star pattern when torquing.
Good advise. I say, Don't do as I do since I'm not a certified mechanic.
Don’t worry about it my friend just a small tip. How did your engine turn out?
@@lazarorivera3384 the engine turned out good. I put 8,000 miles since and the oil galley gasket broke again. I should not have used oem gasket. I'm going to fix it again and then sell the bitch...lol
@@AngelGaragedid you get gasket from z1
@@RuthlessTwinz yes I did.
Wish I knew someone in Ma who could do this
Is it necessary to order the hex screws as all my screws came out perfectly!?
It came as a kit . Since my screws were soft and a couple stripped. I still rather install new ones
Sure you got those water pump O rings right? They are different sizes ...
I did. I have 5,000 miles since repair and don't have an issue
@@AngelGarage ok great ... didn't notice you mentioning the blue vs the brown markings in the video. O know it's hard to remember everything.

How long did you let your silicon gasket for the complete cover set up??? Just curious if you had any issues with yours? The bottom pan seal is very important!!!
How did you lock the crankshaft from moving when you was torqued the crankshaft bolt?
Look at the part 2 out of 3 videos at about 7:50 in to the video. I explained it there.
Greta work.. looks easier then i thiught.. How long did it take you to do the work..
How many miles on the car when this failed and what's the very first sign you have a problem?
I have a 2010 g37s with 70k on it. No issues so far. I will be adding an oil pressure gauge asap!
Right at 112,000.
I was at a traffic light. As I accelerated the car went on limp mode
@@AngelGarage Thank you for answering. What engine oil and filter were you using? Will help to explain known issues.
@@e30m31989 I use what ever good full synthetic on discount at the autoparts
Do I need to use silicone for the gallery gasket?
They go on dry. You don't want silicone pieces getting in the oil
why would you use that gasket 😞 Z1 sells the new and reinforced one. So does nissan. you used the same one that fails.
The reason the gasket failed was because 2 screws backed out allowing pressure to blow by. I didn't know about the reinforced one till later on.
What was the labor time on this? How long did it take u
I worked on it 2 or 3 hrs on weekends when I was off from work. So it took me 2 months. I had ordered parts and had to wait and there were weekends I didn't do anything.
Did you prime the motor before you started it??
I didn't need to. I didn't rebuild the engine. Its no different than changing the oil on a car
What water pump did you use? The one from Nissan?
I bought it all together thru a nissan / infinity website.
I got paper gasket from z1performance. It will be good? Dont blown gasket next one?
I put the stock gasket in. I got 5,000 miles and it broke again
@@AngelGarage so sad :/ u think z1 performance gasket are worst than oem?
@@lapus16 I'm not sure. But I'm looking to just fix the car and sell it right after..lol
@@AngelGarage stock gasket will be metal.?
Brabe man at least you have a spot were to do it @
It does help having a garage
Why didn’t you go all the way to 12ft lbs?
I get nervous about stripping threads. Plus I go a little passed the click on the torque wrench. So it'll come out the same.
Are the torque specs the same for a 2008 G37
I would imagine so. It's only 1 year difference.
:50 seconds in and not even hand feeding the bolts to start, “AlMoST hAd OnE StUcK in ThE bLoCK”
Thank God I'm not the only one thats noticed hahaha. Had a guy at the shop I work at with about 30 years of experience use a gun to put any bolt on engine without hand tightening it first 😱 including sparkplugs. Got fired right away thank god
Great guide but I definitely would not pay you to do mine.
I'm glad, since I dont want to do it again.
then go figure it out yourself
RzVids why ? Thats a pretty dick thing to say considering he did it with no issues and also fixed the problem.
Why wouldn’t you?
