    I watched your video on how to replace rocker cover gaskets on Nissan Xterra. It was a very detailed illustration as I followed your explanation. I've 2008 Pathfinder, the engine is very similar. After watching your illustration, I plan of replacing my gaskets due to oil leaks. My name is Gladstone from Nigeria.

    Just a bit of advice at 8:22, when you got your hand back reaching back there watch out for the heater hose nipple located about wrist high, that plastic nipple is brittle as F and if you break it you might need to get the whole set up, not cheap and a pain in the ass to replace
    I've heard of a few people that have had this happen

    Hello.YOUR VIDEOS ARE GREAT!i have a question have the same car 2006.My car has 200 k miles.Runs great started shaking but its a crankshaft circuit.I took it to mechanic because when I turn it on it blows out little smoke from back like for 6 seconds then clears up.He said sparkplugs have oil but pistons dont sound that its probably blown head and to rebuild the engine.He dont anwser my calls I guess he dont want to fix it he put everything back nd I have my car back.what do you think the smoke is.Thanks it looks lkke blue smoke.it also has p0420 code

    • @Sellthoseflippingcars
      @Sellthoseflippingcars  4 года назад

      Im glad you enjoy my videos! Thanks for watching them! The p0420 is a weak catalytic converter due to the real problem and culprit of the blue smoke. You need new valve covers. On the Pathfinder it has spark plug orings that are built into the plastic valve covers. Check out my video on replacing the valve cover. That will fix your blue smoke. Check the codes again and see if you have a crankshaft sensor code. I will link the video below to the valve covers. Also i put the link to the ones on Amazon as well in the video description to help you out. Let me know if you have anymore questions!

    • @Sellthoseflippingcars
      @Sellthoseflippingcars  4 года назад

      You are most welcome! If you had a blown head gasket it would be spewing smoke out the exhaust consistently. Also if you want to do a test, pull your oil dipstick, if the oil is milky then you have a blown head gasket. Or if your coolant is "boiling" that is a blown head gasket. The bubbles are exhaust coming from the cylinders not actually boiling.

    • @Sellthoseflippingcars

      To get to the head gasket you will have to take the intake manifold, fuel rail, valve covers. After you get those components removed you will be ready to remove the cylinder head to get to your head gasket

    • @Sellthoseflippingcars
      @Sellthoseflippingcars  2 года назад

      Yes they can be replaced but you have to replace the entire valve cover because they come as one piece. Here is the valve cover you will need with those 3 seals in it. amzn.to/3A3HOww It is for the pair and comes with the valve cover gaskets as well. Doing this at a shop would run an average of $1200, with this video and the parts, this repair will cost you $100!!!! Now thats a savings!!! Thanks for watching!

    • @Sellthoseflippingcars
      @Sellthoseflippingcars  2 года назад +1

      That looks like an AC line that is held on the firewall with a "P bracket" if you remove the bracket, the line will have enough room to move out of the valve cover's way. Hope this helps and thank you for watching!!

    I got 2004 frontier V6 SE with a similar problem except it includes spark plugs 1 and 6 not firing properly. The truck only has 69000 miles so am I better off paying to get it fixed or selling? How much would you estimate the cost of fixing or how much can I sell the truck for?

    • @Sellthoseflippingcars
      @Sellthoseflippingcars  3 года назад

      First of all I would not sell a vehicle due to valve cover gaskets needing replaced. Second I would replace the spark plugs and coils on cylinders 1 & 6th if you have not done that recently. This usually fixes all misfires due to maintenance intervals not being followed. Cost of fixing a valve cover would be the cost of parts which can be found in the video description. Overall a very easy repair and a easy way to save a few hundred dollars. Also if you want to know how much you can get for your vehicle type the mileage and your ZIP code into Kelley Blue Book and look under private party. The number that they give you their will give you a good estimate of what you can sell your vehicle for at your location.

    • @Sellthoseflippingcars

      Le moteur a sauté comme dans le timing a sauté dans le moteur? S'il s'agit du V6 de 4,0 litres, il s'intégrera dans le Pathfinder 2006. Lorsqu'un véhicule saute le chronométrage, vous courez le risque que la tête soit endommagée. Lorsqu'un véhicule saute la synchronisation, cela peut endommager les soupapes lorsqu'elles entrent en contact avec le piston. Le timing est essentiel pour le bon fonctionnement de votre moteur. Merci d'avoir regardé!

    • @Sellthoseflippingcars

      Check the back right side there should be a bolt back there holding it to a support bracket. I totally agree with you the valve cover replacement is a bit hectic on this vehicle. Don't forget if you need the O-rings replaced in the spark plug Wells that you will have to replace the entire valve cover. The O-rings are built into it, like Nissan needs to make the replacement any harder LOL
