Very good explanation🎉 I checked others for G37 but your video is the best!
Well I am happy you were able to find my video. Thank you for watching.
Great video ❤🎉
FYI for the comment section, this car had Takeda Short Ram Intakes not Cold Air Intakes. You dont want short rams because they just suck up hot air from the engine bay.
The stock air boxes on these cars are actually true Cold Air Intakes. If you cant get something better its best to leave stock or modify the stock air boxes for better engine response by eliminating all unnecessary vacuum lines.
Thank you is my son's car. His first thing he did to his car
So nice to see something that you can fix without the need for scanners, smoke machines, or scopes. Just wondering why the valve cover gasket’s were not changed when the intake manifold was off the last time. Excellent vid!
It was my son's car and I was doing the spark plugs to help him out and was on my birthday. Passenger side went smooth got to driver side and tube seal was leaking so he ran out got a set of valve cover gaskets and I did just the driver side because it was leaking. It was my birthday so was not trying to work even longer. Finally had a chance to finish it for him. Thanks for watching
@@NutsandBoltswithTone Well Happy Birthday!
@@billbeckett1021 thanks Bill.
I was gonna do this for a friend and (after watching your video) told him to leave it to the professionals. 😅
It's a 15 year old car and I'm SURE I'll damage one or more rubber hoses in the process. Thx for letting me dodge that bullet.
The job is not difficult but yes the rubber hoses breaking is common.
Thank you i was just doing spark plugs n notice some oil on one n knew i had to change them out. Got some pricey quotes to have it done but rather do it myself since i dont got the money for someone to do it. Seems like this will take a few hours to do.
Yes it will take a few hours but will is for sure do able. Thanks for watching.
Best video, but we found a way to get all of that wiring harness out of the way.
Awesome
Thank you for the awesome video it really helped.
You are very welcome and I appreciate you watching.
We’ll needed! Thank you!
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching
Great vid. Thank you. I need to do this in a couple weeks. After watching this I gotta say I miss my 240Z with triple side.draft Webber carbs.
Thank you for watching and good luck in your repair
Great vid bro extremely helpful
Thank you in glad I was able to help you out. Thank you for watching.
So the Gaskets I want to replace while im in there for the spark plug wells is, 2 valve cover spark tube seals, plenum gasket, as well s the 2 valve cover gaskets? Thanks so much I plan to spend some time this week to start this project.
Awesome brotha I hope all goes well. Thank you for watching. Oh and yeah that sounds right for the gaskets.
Thank you for this!
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching
Do you have the part numbers for the gaskets that are recommended to replace when doing the valve covers?
I do not I'm sorry. I appreciate you watching. Thank you
Hey josie im replying a little late but im doing my gaskets as well and have the part #'s.... Valve Cover Gaskets- 13270-EY01A & 13270-EYO1B///// Plenum Gasket- 14032-JK21A/////// Spark Plug Tube Gaskets- 13271-EY00A (x2). All part numbers are OE replacement gaskets from my local Infiniti store. hope this helps
Appreciate this video you did. Others show removing coolant lines from TB and relieving fuel pressure.
My issue is the plug seals are bad. After doing a spark plug change, 2 on passenger side were coated with oil. I bought new valve covers w/gaskets already installed from RockAuto.
What type of silicone do you recommend on the joints? 09 M35 HR engine. Thanks!
Thank you. Here is a link to a good silicone to use. Glad you are not removing the coolant lines because they just end up leaking. amzn.to/46yPUgy
Btw, is there a reverse order in remove the intake bolts or can you just start removing any first?
Also I read that there is a 2 step torque sequence process on the intake with install when it comes to ft lbs. What’s that about?
Good video man! Thanks
Thank you and I appreciate you watching
any chance you know what the warranty/flat rate is for this job?
Not here at home, if you message me the vehicle info I can look it up for you. Thank you for watching.
So once I removed the valve cover everything was black oil...is this car fixable at this point?
Black oil under the valve cover is just black oil, now if it is sludge then that is a different story. If it runs then just start using engine oil adatives. Thank you for watching. Hit me up on Instagram if you have anymore questions.
Do I have to use the RTV paste on the corners?
Silicone on the joints.
Your torque specs are incorrect for the valve cover bolts. You have foot lbs when it's actually inch pounds please fix this so nobody ruins their valve covers.
Omg thank you for letting me know. Thx for watching
I just checked it says " lbs which is inch pounds.
@@NutsandBoltswithTone it does say lbs, but mostly everyone will mistake it for foot lbs since that is more common.
@@latino914 I'm not sure it's true that mostly everyone will make that mistake. I believe in elementary school or perhaps middle school it's taught that the double quotation mark denotes inches and the single quotation mark denotes feet. If people aren't reading thoroughly, they probably shouldn't be working on their cars... for their own safety.
@@latino914thank u I would’ve made that mistake
Need to do this on my FX35... are you close to NYC i'd pay you!
Unfortunately I am in Northern California. Sorry bud. Thanks for watching
What kind of silicone do I use?
Just rtv. We used permatex black rtv.
Thanks for watching
Can you do alternator nxt
I will keep that in mind, I am at the mercy of the cars and jobs that come in to the shop for me. Thank you for watching.
I was told you should replace the covers as well because they warp. Should I do that? They are pretty expensive.
Honestly the only ones I replace are the ones that have the tube seals built in. I have never seen what you are talking about. We replace the gaskets and use silicone on the joints and torque it. Should be good to go. Thanks for watching.

I accidentally snapped my pcv hose, and it got vacuum leaks 😩
That sucks man sorry to hear that. Thanks for watching.
I suggest getting silicone hoses from z1 motorsports. The master hose set to be precise and just switch em all out to prevent future problems.
@@ravenXcozmo great idea, thank you
Awesome
Thank you for that, and I appreciate you watching.
Thank you for the video if you replace the val cover gasket is that gonna fix the problem of getting oil in your spark plug tube or is there another gasket that has to be replaced as well thank you
As long as the gasket around the spark plug tubes are serviceable then yes this will fix it. In some Nissan infiniti models the tube deals are not replaceable and the valve cover has to be replaced. Thanks for watching
@@NutsandBoltswithTone I researched On line and I found some seals For the spark plug tubes Yet you call the dealer and they Say you have to replace the whole valcover So I'm confused would you happen to know it's a 2008 infinity EX35 journey thank you keep the videos coming very educational
@enrique.jgonzalez6651 message me on Instagram your Vin number and I'll look it up.
@@NutsandBoltswithTone Is there an email I could send it to you for some reason I can't find you on Instagram thank you
@@enrique.jgonzalez6651 linktr.ee/tonennorcal
My Instagram is on there
My mechanic is telling me in order to change the valve cover casket that i would have to change the whole cover because the spark plug tube seal is mounted on the cover i called the auto part store and they told me that they do sell the spark plug tube seal with the gasket just is that true do i need to change the whole cover?
In the vehicle I did this job on the tube seals were serviceable but alot of Nissan and Infiniti valve covers the tube seals are not replaceable. The parts store will list them and sell them to you but they do not come out of the valve cover. Funny thing about this is that this is my sons car and I was helping him out replacing his spark plugs, only one tube seal leaked and it was bad, So I knew I needed to replace the seals before putting a new plug in. While I was removing the cover I sent him to get gaskets and a new valve cover because I know they are not removeable sometimes. He got lucky because his was. Thank you for watching.
Engineers Hate Mechanics!🙃 ..What a headache!
Usually engineers suck. This one not too bad. Thanks for watching.
Yo buddy you can’t disconnect the throttle body electronics. It resets them and causes them to fuck up. If you’ve done this to the car, either get a professional tune or go to the dealership and get your car re tuned. Might be expensive but this is a very stupid mistake to make if you didn’t know. You’ll ruin your engine within 50,000km or less and sit there wondering what happened. Just because some random dude on youtube told you how to fix it doesn’t mean he’s right. Best of luck everyone. Hope everyone reads the comments before they do this. Literally so stupid that this is online you’re fucking over so many people who watch this man
Adding to this, your Idle will be messed up. You’ll definitely notice it and if you don’t, stop working on your car by yourself and take it to the mechanic lol
Also you didn’t mention to DISCONNECT THE BATTERY BEFORE UNPLUGGING ELECTRONICS. SIMPLE. You should disconnect the battery even if you’re just cleaning the throttle bodies and leaving them on. Don’t fuck with electronics if there’s power going to them. Please delete this video dude I’m begging you, I’m sure you didn’t mean it but this is going to screw over so many people
Yeah you are right need to take it to a professional. Oh wait I am a professional, not some random dude on RUclips. You can say whatever you like buddy but you are clearly not a professional.
Your idle will fix itself unless there is a problem. but ok
I am just really glad there are people on here that do not really know what they are doing and are willing to go try to tell the professional they do not know what they are doing. Good luck buddy
I only replaced the gasket on the edges, do the ones in the middle need replacing too?
The ones on the outside keep oil from leaking out from around the valve cover, the ones on the inside keep oil out of the spark plug tubes. Yes you need to replace them, they can cause oil to leak on your plugs, then could cause misfire, check engine light and you will have to replace your plugs, possibly coils and fix the leak from valve cover. Thanks for watching.
@@NutsandBoltswithTone Well that sucks. I replaced the outter gaskets including the two little ones also, I didn’t know the rings in the middle had to be replaced. Looks like another day of gasket work.
@@NutsandBoltswithTone ahh, after doing some hours of research, I’m not sure what purpose this video serves if the leak is within the tube seals themselves. Considering it’s possible to replace with some slight fabrication, I feel as if this video should of mentioned that, along with needing a whole new unit if you decide not go the fabrication route. However, these gaskets serve a purpose in keeping the oil from leaking out, so to be fair I should of understood that before hand.
