Owning a VQ is a love/hate relationship.
Hush….
@@wizkid2015 🤫
Blame Renault for the hate. They cheapened this once bulletproof Nissan engine.
@@Mabeylater293 what does renault have to do with the engine. The 3.5L was designed in Japan.
@@ssjMaximum22Goku correct and when Renault and cost cutter Carlos Ghosn came into the picture they went with cheap suppliers for the piston rings and the timing chain guides which compromised reliability.
Love how precise this video is...need more like this for this engine
Who are the TEN who downvoted this video? They need to step forward and be publicly shamed.
This video could save a Nissan and possibly your marriage/kids/dog.
People with no tools and no skill that are mad they had to drop their car off at a shop to get this done.
DIG OR DIE PERFORMANCE 😂Right
Where is the lower pulley for the timeing chain for a Nissan Quest
Sorry it's a 2005 Nissan Quest
No, he placed rtv sealant in the funnel shaped area that is an oil port. This guy is supposed to be an expert?
You don't need to remove the upper oil pan Just lower because of the 2 bolts holding the cover from underneath. And do yourself a favor and replace the gallery gaskets while you are in there ! those blow you will lose oil pressure and have to do all this work again ! If you already have the motor out I would do bearings and oil pump as well. Not that much more money, IMO peace of mind is priceless ! This is the best video out there for timing chain replacement !!!
Thanks for the great advice!
Can the oil pump be replaced without dropping upper pan?
@@nathanmartinez6907 No, the upper will need to be removed to change the oil pump, Taking the upper off is a really nasty job with the motor in the car, Pull the motor and no big deal.
Now I know why SOOOO many of these cars are sitting in peoples back yards, rotting away. You will have to remove all 4 seats and the ash tray to access the rear main seal for removal of the front passenger door handle and window crank before starting the oil cap rotations. Now we can start the timing belt removal. Step 1 of 3416.
😂😂😂😂
I thought it looked way more simple than I previously thought
Very. Good
Very well done..CLOYES..easy to follow through the explaining process! Sincerely appreciate it. Hey guys watching this video, just a "FYI...Just in case notice"! Of both L/R side CAM Caps (O-ring) make sure these brand NEW be replaced just make sure..just so NO accidents in the future with the engine!
Gets right to the point , very informative.
Even half baked I was following what you're saying.
why half? go hard or go home son lol
I'm assembling my VQ at the moment and this video saved my life lol
Same, need an address to send this guy some beers
Facts
I wish I had found this vid a week ago. Best timing vid I've found...thanks guys
Thanks Cloyes...clear and concise instructions...the best explanation step by step on these VQ Nissan engines. Timing Chain is crucial on these motors..Tensioners are worked off from Oil pressure...Dirty Oil...just a matter of time..other parts of the engine goes to slippery slope...meanng other parts of the engine takes waer n tear stresses from daily driving. So Thank you ! Subscribed... ;)
I just purchased a 3.5L engine with 75K miles on it. I really want to replace the water Pump and the oil pump, but I do not want to mess with the timing at all. My other engine jumped timing after the timing guide was replaced. UGH. This video was spot on, but it still makes me nervous about the timing jumping on me.
Cloyes is a company of scholars and gentlemen. thx for the vid
If you are going to do this job do not forget to change Rear Timing Cover Oil Gallery Gasket .
Great demonstration. Make longer videos demonstrating the process
Very nice, I would suggest a new gasket under that sideways "Y" shaped oil passage cover as they commonly deteriorate and leak oil pressure from the tensioners.
No
Gasket's not available you have to buy the back timing cover. However I would recommend replacing the orings on the back time he covered
How about a video of how you got the engine out!
That's probably easier to do than a timing chain kit. I can have my VQ out in maybe an hour and a half. Not counting the few minutes it takes to lift it lol

At least on the Maxima, you do not have to remove the engine, you can do this job with the engine in the vehicle. On 2001 and later (3.5VQ), you need only do the following: Jack up the front onto jack stands, chock the rear wheels. Remove the passenger side front wheel. Remove the passenger side wheel well liner (screws and snap plastics). Remove the two belts (AC/Alternatator, and power steering belts). On 2000's you must remove the lower AC Compressor assembly in order to get at the alternator bolt on the front timing cover. On 2001 and later, they reversed the bolt, so it that is not necessary, you can remove the alternator bots and triangle mount bracket from the wheel well. Put a jack under the engine/transaxle, and snug to hold. Remove the passenger side motor mount. Remove the power steering pump mount from the timing chain cover. Disconnect the engine wiring harness from the timing chain cover mounts. (On 2000's always, (VQ3000), and on 2001+ (VQ35) if replacing the tensioners you must remove all the plugs, COPS, vacuum lines, the intake, and the valve covers. HOWEVER, except on the 2000 (VQ3000), you usually do NOT HAVE TO REPLACE THE TENSIONERS (or often even the timing chain, and certainly not the sprokets). In reality, you just need to replace the NYLON shoe on the tensioners. (This can be done be replacing the whole tensioner, and then you have to take the top off (intake, plugs, COP, valvce cover). But for almost everyone, usually the only thing that has really failed is PRIMARY the tensioner boots (plastic nylon), and the valve guides (platic nylon). This can all be done by ONLY removing the timing cover, and leaving the intake and valve covers alone. On the VQ35, the tensioners have removable shoes, which can be replaced from the timing cover side, leaving the tensioners installed in the engine. (You only have to take off the timing chain, replace the tensioner shoes, replace the chain guides, replace the chains only if you want to.) Then reassemble. On the VQ3000, you must do the full boat, because on that VQ3000, the shoes are not removable from the tensioners as they are on the VQ35. On the VQ35, the timing chain job is really just a replace the plastic job, and if you want, you can replace the chains too. (Replacing the chains can even be done without taking off the top of the engine IF YOU HAVE a reasonably powerful impact torque wrench power tool (electric or air). If you only have hand tools, then you have to take off the intake, plugs, COPS, and valve covers. The reason is that with a power torque wrench, you can remove the sproket bolts with the chains on, and the top of the engine on. With only hand tools, you to remove (and later reinstall) the sproket bolts, you must put a 23mm or 15/16 inch wrench on the CAM surface designed for the wrench, to hold it in place while using a wrench in opposition on the sproket bolt. With a power torque wrench, the wrench can get the bolt off (and on), with only the holding power of the chain. If you only remove the timing cover, it is a much faster and easier job, and you do not have to re-silicon the tensioners or valve covers, because they stay in. 95% of the time, it is simply the Tensioner shoes, and the plastic tensioner chain guides that need to be replaced, though replacing the chain "while you are there" is a good idea. So is replacing the water pump "while you are there" is a good idea. That is quite easy with the tiiming chain cover off (and the timing chain off). That is what I recommend. Unfortunately, I have a VQ3000, so I had to do the hard way. I even looked at using the VQ35 tensioners in the VQ3000 (for the next time, but sadly, they do not fit, the mount holes and channels are different, and there are no newly designed (3.5-like tensioners for the VQ3000). But overall, on a VQ35, MANY things are much easier. You can leave the top of the engine on. You can get the alternator out from the wheel well much easier. (You can leave in the AC). If you take out the motor mount first, you can get at the power steering bolts easier. Sometimes, to remove a critical cover bolt in the center of the cover, you have to slightly jack up the engine/transxle. This lifts the passenger side of the engine a tad, and makes that bold stick out sideways (and SLIGHTLY up), giving you JUST the bare minimum clearance to get the bold out. Without the jacking, the bolt will hit the steel wheel well body frame. There are good youtube videos on the subject. But I recommend only removing the front cover on VQ35 engines, because usually this is all you have to do. And I recommend just buying a decent electric power impact wrench. This is critical so that you can remove the secondary chains and thus get at the tensioner shoes.
@@davidoshea2260 Do you know what engine on my 2007 Nissan quest ? is it VQ35 ?
@@jeffwong4815 Yes, all models of the 2007 Nissan Quest were equipped with the VQ35. I'm not really an expert on the Quest, but I believe to do the job on the Quest,, you may have to pull the engine from the vehicle because of clearance and access issues. On the Maxima, it is possible to do the job with the engine in the vehicle. But I only recall that from other people's videos. I've only ever done the job on the Maxima.
Thank you Cloyes! This video is to the point and very informative. Well done. I bought my replacement tensioners parts from Cloyes after watching this video.
Hows your car running ? Any problems plan on buying the kit too
@@alan.-.4968 did you ever buy it? Want to buy as well. Also what noises did your max start making that made you consider this was issue?
Let's get more videos like this on doing things such as the water pump
I just purchased a 2009 Murano and its a JOY to drive.
This was by far the most informative video on this subject. A question: should the whole chain and guide assembly be oiled/lubed before putting into action?
It is not a bad idea to apply some lube to the chains, sprockets, and guides, but it is not necessary. Within seconds of startup lubrication will be abundant.
If you have the engine out ,may aswell replace the back timing cover gaskets. Those are pain sometimes can coase low oil pressure. Nissan updated them on newer VQs,but the older ones failed quite often. I have two Xterras,and one day this job will be calling for me. I hope not to get the motor out completly,just take the front end off with the radiator assembly. Should make the job eazier.
I really appreciate you and your video. I will start doing one tomorrow morning and I was nervous but you clarified a few questions I had thank you very much
a friend told me he needed a timing chain replacement on his Nissan, I said "OK! let me watch a video first!" 10:11 minutes later... OH HELL NO! xD
hahahahahahahahaha.....my thoughts exactly lol
🤣🤣🤣
Yea, when the water pump on your VQ goes bad, it's cheaper to buy a newer VQ powered car. J-series all the way, F.... this thing.
Same here im mobile mechanic if i fuck some thing up they ll kill me lol.
Not a big deal I got a 2004 Maxima n I'm doing mine without removing the engine
Gracias, x compartir tu conocimiento, gracias también x la traducción al español, pues algunos no hablamos Inglés.
Bjr . Vos vidéos sont instructives . Nous sommes dans les pays francophones , nous voulons que vous les fassiez en français , elles nous aideront plus . Moi je suis mécanicien automobilisre . Merci.
you know what the problem is...you fix your engine and 2 weeks later the cvt craps out
You know what the problem is your driving a front wheel drivetrain and not rear wheel drivetrain lol
thank you had the best explaining in the best videos thanks for be the best
With cloyes I'm coming better than that, one of my dreams is: to come an mechanical engineering,even though here in Haiti(port-au-prince) there are no your mechanical type,but I m crazy for this.
Thanks for watching Dorilas. Follow your dreams and good luck!
The biggest problem with this is the very tiny dowel on the intake cams. The dowel doesn't protrude out enough, so that its hard to feel, and keep the dowel in the hole on the gear. What sometimes happens is the dowel is barely off going into the hole when you tighten down the gears. The metal is soft in the cams, and the dowel presses into the metal. Over time the dowel wallows out the hole. You get a check engine light for a cam over advancing/retarding. The only way I've personally done to fix this engineering mess from Nissan was to enlarge the holes in the intake cams, and gears using a drill press, and then making new dowels from the shaft of the drill bit.
Yea I just did a set and did notice how pathetic that lil dowel pin is on the intake cams
How about a video on how to competely remove and replace the cylinder heads on this 3.5l nissan engine
NUMBERS DONT LIE✅
This made me much more confident appreciate it!
You guys forget to point how to remove and reinstall the water pump, or purposely not mentioned, good video though, thanks for sharing. 👍
You are correct. That is typically something we mention and we definitely recommend it while doing this job. We actually just started selling Nissan 3.5 & 4.0 timing kits that include the water pump. Thanks for the comment!
Очень информативно и легко доступно для простого пользователя.
Brilliant demonstration.
awesome video x) great quality... too bad youre going to have to do it again in 20k miles because you forgot the oil gally gaskets
Thank you for your help 🙏🙏🙏
My business partner is doing the timing chain water pump and everything on a Nissan 2004 and we appreciate your heads up on the information you gave us thank you
You need to do one on the 9-0730SA kit for new style 3.5
what is the important things to do bfre install engine v6? the most important
Hi. It was very helpful to me. thank you
What about the galley gaskets???
Fantastic video, clear instructions and lots of 'don't forget to'.
How similar these timing systems to the bigger VQ40 ? While the 3.5 are more common engines, the 4.0 are famous for their failing secondary chains tensioners and a resulting whine.
the tensioners don't fail, just the shoes
Thanks for thes explanagion, is very very good, the best
Thanks for the video guys! Unfortunately I couldn't afford your quality kit. Had to buy cheap. Oh well.
I remember when engines were much easier to fix. Set the points, check the dwell, and drive away. Now you need a Ph.D. to fix your car.
Never heard about removal sequence
Best guide I've seen, it's short, it covers everything you need to know, nd it's not confusing. Thanks man, I will be doing this job to my car on Tuesday. Question, where can I get cam phaser solenoid gaskets? Or can I apply some sort of paste?
Do not use any kind of gasket maker or silicone. Silicone can clog vital oil passages and causes issues. The gaskets can be found at your local dealership or they typically come with the purchase of new solenoids.
@@Cloyes01 Don't do it !!!!!! Just pulled off one someone had "RTV'"ed around to freshen gasket. . Sure the other one will be same. It had at least two, probably three passages blocked RTV plugs in what should be open passages. Probably wasn't good for the phazer cams on intake cam shafts either.
Very educational video 👍
Isn’t there supposed to be a o-ring on the camshaft cap where it meets the rear timing cover 6:56 it’s missing? I only noticed Bc that’s where I’m suspecting my loss of oil pressure at idle after my rebuild.. help would be appreciated
HELP! I followed all these steps perfectly. Triple checked my timing. Everything is as it should be, with the rotating assembly set at TDC. I cannot turn the engine by hand over 200 degrees. The car was running just fine before attempting this job.
The cheapest way to fix a VQ35DE is to burn it.
1 tank of ULP 91 destroyed the engine (piston knock). The high pressure power steering hose and pump are a huge fail (each replaced twice).
This video was great.
"Fly Like an Eagle, through the Trees... "
Great video. Thanks for the upload.
Excellent video!
This video is awesome!!!!! Life saver
This was a good video,it helped my confidence with installing my timing chain for the first time. My worry,is that i wont have the cams in correct position. Do i manually turn them to match with the same spot that is used to torqe tue cam to spec?
You just need to manually turn them to make the marks align properly. Once your marks are aligned and the chain is installed then it doesn't matter where they are positioned. Just make sure the marks are aligned and you have nothing to worry about.
Hello.. Please can you explain the engine of Nissan.3.5 Pathfinder 2019 Time Marks
So both dowels should be facing up ?
Hi I'm Alfonso I have an 05 altima 2.5 I just change the engine oil and starter to throw some oil trow the oil filler cap for the first time what can ot bee.
nice video!!! my neighbor replaced water pump, followed all the timing mombo jombo, now the POS wont start! lma0
faltó la traducción en español como en el motor ecotec gracias
Amazing man very personal
Car Engineers: “LETS MAKE CARS INSANELY INTRICATE SO ITLL COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS EVERYTIME IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA”
Yeah them Basrds need to be taken to the woosshed
This is an excellent engine however. The main issue is plonking it in a car in a way that there is no way to access components sensibly. Cars are designed to be quickly built, not serviced these days, which is sad.
Thanks again for the video!
I am about to attempt this using your parts. WISH me luck as I have done most things by myself and this does not seem that bad after watching it over and over and over again. I won't be taking out the engine though as I do not know how to do that. Also, what do you use to turn the camshaft?
We used a 15/16" wrench to hold the camshafts during the video which worked successfully but was a little bit loose. 15/16" converts to 23.8125mm, so Nissan more than likely intended a 23mm wrench to be used.
TK Sir making my job 👍 EZ
so once you zero out the timing you don't gotta worry about the cams jumping and breaking something? is there a way to lock them in place so nothing jumps?
thanks for the educational video i love that................
Si cambio la bomba de agua sin quitar la tapa del tiempo ...puede haber problema que se brinque la cadena ...o sigo los pasos
very informative
@6:54, where did you find 85in lbs for the torque sequence? According to the FSM I have pulled the 52in lbs is the last. (Pg EM-184, VQ35DE, 2006 Altima)
I hardly ever hear about a need to replace the chains, a chain is life time as long as there is a tension once the tension is loosen the chain will go bad. This is prone only on the engines where the tensioners were poorly engineered to begin with, this system on Nissan doesnt look bad but because the engine is V shape the length of a chain is now double of the size of 4 cylinder or of a straight 6 and that just creates more reasons to fail.
Better cost effective path, sell the car.

Safiloo 1 nahhhh it's a great responsive engine... I got 307,000 miles on my 04 maxima SE and haven't been in the engine or transmission yet!!!!!! ... car paid for and quick off the line💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Idiot
Yea any Nissan that needs this is already a worthless toilet
Safiloo 1 fix the car... avoid unnecessary car payment
great video, wish i had seen this before redoing my timing components.
I have a Nissan Murano, it has a problem of overheating, the mechanic change the gasket after completing the car it won’t start
Cloyes gear how are you congrats for youre page awsome i learn alot from you i have a question i decided to do this job for a pathfinder 3.5 i need to know the front cover have little covers in the cams in the front those it haves a seal in the cover i know about a oring bit in the other en it needs a oring to ?
Do they make any special tools lower the hassle of this job
So question regarding the markings, is it safe to say that the markings are at the 11 o'clock, 1 o'clock and 5 o'clock when setting the chain?
That is correct for the primary chain.
@@Cloyes01 thank you
Thank you
Can you tell me the tightening torques for the liners on the vq35hr Infiniti engine
Great job friend
@cloyes does this still apply to the 2018?
Ok thanks
I used this Cloyes kit and experienced a secondary chain tensioner failure on the rear bank after 2100 miles. Do you have a tech line phone number or have you experienced this previously?
Yes, 479-646-1662 ext. 228 is our tech line number. We don't many issues out of these 3.5L/4.0L kits. Did the tensioner hydraulically fail, or did the chain contact surfaces break or wear through?
I didn't see you guys lock the cams from moving. Does this particular engine not need to be locked?
Nope, the chain sets the timing. Just make sure all your marks align.
I definitely cannot do this job! The ticking on my Nissan Altima SER is annoying me. ugh
ALSO....i tried to take out my water pump off...but it seems like it is frozen in...ive taken the three bolts off but it want budge....should i just force it off?
Great video
I like it. Thanks!
how much is it to replace the timing bely
Can these engines last 300,000 miles or more like Hondas and Toyotas?
Thanks Great observed video channel
love the video
I actually cried
U guys have a beta explanation wana do the nissan murano vq35
good good muy bueno desde peru gracias
Nice video
Would this loose or out of time (timing chain) cause no spark and no injector pulse?
mr. fix it what was it. Did you get it fixed??
No, you will still get it but probaby at the wrong time
