"The power of vice compels you" I love that man. Sometimes I just listen to your videos, especially your etcg1 videos
Edit: "I'm making electricity. It's shocking" that's stuff keeps me comin back my friend haha
hi Eric,
Great show! Most youtube videos make it look easy. This video, this car has shown the true colors of what being a technician is about. Its not about nice brand name tools but, about brains, muscle, and patience. Keep up the good videos, helping folks in need. Thank you.
I love your fixing it forward series Eric. Always a great thing to watch when I'm having a crappy day. Thanks Eric.
+m2hmghb Thanks for the comment.
Really great videos. I start watching and say to myself I ll never watch all of it, it ll be too long but I end up still watching the full length. Entertaining stuff my mate Eric :)
Watching this video make me feel great about contributing to fixing it forward. Great work Eric.
yet another reason to keep up oil changes..good video eric
Awesome videos Eric, i watched all three. The timming chain replacement and waterpump. Great job on narration and camera/editing. I like that you leave in your little mistakes and show the troubleshooting through it. It gives us newbies hope. I drive a 2005 nissan altima and really want to do this timming and gasket replacement. I'm tempted too do this, i really need a hoist. You're awesome man.
Eric this yesterday morning I fixed up the brakes on a 2004 chevy aveo for one of my neighbors, a single mother with 2 kids, I did it for free all she paid for was the parts. I got super into cars after watching your videos and fixing my own truck. I have saved a lot of money and have fixed a few peoples cars now for free or not much money at all, I enjoy doing it and thank you for the amazing videos and insipiring many people like myself to fix it forward.
+Daniel Hernandez Keep up the great work Daniel. Thanks for your comment.
This video helped me. A swivel ratchet was definitely a must! The process was very similar for the Altima that has the same size engine. Thank you Eric!
Came across your videos for a few cars over the years.. awesome guide obviously especially the product rep ahha making it!! Happy wrenching brother
Best series yet. Great information. Very impressed with this little Nissan engine running so good with 250K miles.
Nice job, Eric. I had the same problem with an aftermarket valve cover on a Nissan about a year ago. You would think that such an obvious problem would have been addressed by Dorman by now.
Well done! what a head ache. I felt relief when you put the factory valve cover on and engine was running smooth. Again great job Eric.........
No "Days of Our Life" drama mechanic, filming excellent, editing excellent, mechanic excellent all well done and easy to learn thanks very much.
Gotta love that feeling of accomplishment after doing a ton of work on a car and starting it for the first time. :)
Then seeing it do the same problem again after you tried fix it xD
+David F. Yes indeed.
Eric they give you what you want and special treatment because you are a celebrity.
On the next FIF you should trash the original car and help fix a used one. I've never seen so many cars that weren't worth the time and money. I guess that's why the show is so great! You got stuck with three of the ugliest dance partners in the county and didn't flinch! You're a great man and much appreciated.
Along with the timing chain this job was a "huge deal" for sure. Great video x 3! Had me worried when the "tappet" noise (valve cover) was there.
That was actually the most reasonable series of repairs I've seen done to this car in terms of labor.
I have watched all of the eric the car guy videos....most more than once and the old ones are much more informative than the new ones... my personal opinion but I believe that's why he has such a following.
the camera work on the new ones is far better though
thanks for the video Eric, your channel is one of those channel where you come to learn and experience. again, thank you Eric :) (not a native English speaker sorry)
I always watch these videos from start to finish. Great stuff
+Biker Jim Thank you! Your viewership is appreciated.
Awesome video Eric! Very informative and entertaining, as always!
Man I was so glad that noise was not your fault!!! Best of luck and keep them coming .
+Joseph Tucci Yea, me too.
I have learned washing your videos, making my auto repair much easier and save me a tonelada of
ERIC!
I, for one, LOVE the "Ess-ee-ARRRRRR!" bit. Yeah, I know it could get old, but when you say it, it feels fresh every time. And this car has been such a PITA (not the Middle Eastern bread), that any humour involved with fixing it forward seems warranted and justified - just to keep your sanity.Please keep up the great work!
+daveogarf I've worked on worse. Remember Barbara's van? How about this one. ua-cam.com/video/uvYG23C80K0/v-deo.html
That head flashlight help out a lot - found the bad valve cover - good job!!
Wow!! I'm guessing a majority of subscribers/viewers are DIY'ers. This is what we aspire to be able to do - but I think this type of repair separates a real mechanic from a DIY 'er. Eric, you have to be proud about this repair - almost an automotive Herculean task. This takes real mechanical talent/training/knowledge.
+Robert F. Luc Thanks man.
Great video. I like the way you didnt edit out the bad part just to make it look like everything went smooth. I guess the only other thing you could have done was clean out the throttle body. Keep these awesome videos coming.
clean out the throttle body on a drive by wire Nissan? not unless you want to do the pedal dance too fix the idle. sometimes it can even damage the throttle body and it needs replaced.
+dwoodog Glad you liked the video. Thanks for the comment.
I admire the patience you have with fixing this thing. Got to be a bit trying to keep a positive attitude.
+NebukedNezzer Some days are harder than others, but attitude helps. Thanks for the comment.
another friday-night-family-is-sleeping relaxing video. thank you.
+Björn Nyblad Glad to be of service. Thanks for the comment.
I'm about to replace the valve cover on my wife's '05 Altima and was really worried b/c I bought the Dorman valve cover, similar to the one you had issues with here. I'm glad I watched this video b/c I looked over my part and it looks like Dorman has revised their design (at least on this one) and the front oil return tube has been narrowed down closer to factory spec!
+Timothy Horton Reading that is mission accomplished to me. The whole purpose of doing these videos is to help people in situations just like yours. Thanks very much for your comment.
Total props for this job. What a pro!
you are a GREAT mechanic sir, and i appreciate what you do
+newls1 Thank You!
Awesome video. I didn't even realize how long I've been watching.
+SoulJah876 The best kind of complement. Thanks.
awesome vid eric just changed my cam cover last week my pcv valve was built in to the cover cost me £300 deal part came with oil cap and all gaskets happy days
+eraysha white Thank you!
This car is a prefect example of how awesome it is that you are doing this. That engine sounds like a peach and the owner wasn't sure if they should even keep it.
+Chris Gelder Thank you! It does indeed sound nice.
You're amazing at your craft Eric..
wow that motor sounds great, once again well done Eric.
+! Mr Fix It ! (Molson) Indeed it does. Thanks.
Nissan stil stresses me out. I like them but the maintenance is so random lol great job Eric :) ( I still love coming back to this video)
Great work Eric !
You have done so much for this car, cool Eric.. Cool
RRRRRRRR for the win! - Nice job as usual Eric
+DeCapito Family Thank you!
Great work Eric.
another great video from ETCG!
Bravo Eric.You did it.But aftermarket items are not always good!
Eric, excellent video as always! :)
You should really get yourself an exhaust extraction system to evacuate all the fumes and keep a bit more of the heat in your shop :)
exciting episode! that valve cover really messed things up..
+farerse Indeed it did. But that's how it goes sometimes.
these are the best shade tree videos everrrrrrrr
You have a big heart Eric love from sweden
well done, Eric! Keep up the great work!
+TheTallJS Thank you!
I love this channel! Really was a big scare that noise in the engine!
+Marco77acv DCS Brasil You have to think "It sounds like the valves. Did I mess around with the valves? No. Was there a noise before I started? No. What did I do last that made the noise happen? Valve cover." By the power of deduction you'll know that it's not a big of a deal as it looks :)
+February i AM happy Eric found The problem.
+Marco77acv DCS Brasil Yea, I wasn't happy about that either. Thanks for the comment.
Nothing better than new parts!
Thanks Eric for this video!
great work eric...
Eric... Just linked to the Montana video below, and... OH MY CRAP, sir! If Anything qualifies as Lebanese flatbread, that does! First time I've/we've EVER heard you lose your cool on a project - and I, for one, completely sympathize! GOL DAING!I do remember Barbara's van - and yes, that was another PITA. I'd forgotten to remember that... (?)THANKS for the link, and for the vicarious ride through Frustrationland!
totally love watching your video 😊
Thanks again for another great video very informative
I love this channel !!!!!!!!!!!
never knew that oil becomes acidic and can actually attack engine parts..great info eric .keep up the good work
+keith kennedy This is one of the main reasons you don't want to go past 6-months to a year on an oil change even if you're under mileage. Google "TBN TAN oil acidity".
+TheTruth4313 ccol thanks..ill check it outt
+keith kennedy It's worth mentioning that synthetics are far less prone to becoming acidic, but your filter will break down internally after about a year anyhow. So if you have a summer vehicle or something an annual oil change is wise regardless of mileage or the oil used.
+keith kennedy Yea, it gets nasty. Oil companies work very hard to prevent that stuff with the additive packages though. ua-cam.com/video/FXqkOZAkXZw/v-deo.html
Hey Eric, love your videos. That random piece you found looks like a hold down bracket for an Optima battery. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
Eric you are the best....
Great as ever Eric, but the fix on the MAF trunking was just fine with good quality electrical tape. When you added the fabric tape it just made the whole thing solid and just likely to split it again, or at the ends when the thing is actually running.
+cfook Have to say I agree. The trunking is not made like an accordion for looks, the engine rocks back and forth and the other end is from the body. The best thing I can think of is a special electrical tape that bonds to itself, either over time or with heat applied (memory fails me here). Wrap it around twice and you should be good.
Great video, Eric! Still, I can't wait to see more of the Fairmont! :)
+BloodScatter I can't wait to get started on it. Going to buy some engine parts next, the start building the diff when Brian is back in action later this month.
Good mechanic Eric you know your stuff
+recordedclips8888 Thank you!
Eric I have given up on aftermarket parts. Especially dorman, they have lost all credibility as an alternative to OEM parts as a cost saving and have become an added expense in trying their low cost low quality parts. Nice vid, 👍👍
I got a master cylinder from them in December,and it's already leaking around the bottom of the reservoir.
+Zack Fraser I wouldn't say everything they make is bad but it seems on UA-cam repair channels their not getting any praise. LOL
+STEVE ROB There are exceptions to every rule. The Dorman Jeep 4.0 exhaust manifold is pretty much the only way to go. The OE manifolds are garbage and the Dorman design is much better.
I purchased dorman lug nuts for alloy rims and the caps fell off within several days. After a year the chrome is about gone. Now I need to replace again. No savings with dorman lugnuts.
+Joseph Jones interesting you say that, I had a fellow ask me to change his winter tires to summers on his Acura and the lug nuts are recessed into the rim. Well after just one winter the chrome caps had swollen up with rust so bad I couldn't get a socket on them. What a nightmare chiseling them out and guess what lugs nuts he bought. LOL
Top Job Eric, thanks allot
Sounds smooooootttthhhh! Great work!
+RollingJunk It is. Very smooth in fact. Thanks for the comment.
Great Friday afternoon movie with a beer
YAY Finally a new one !!! Thank you ETCG
+Aaron Quine New ones every Friday. Thanks for the comment.
Also, good job man that thing runs smooth. , I had a 2002 Sentra but mine was just the SE with the 1.8L. Very good cars.
+Ciscodude Thank you.
As a Subaru owner, OEM parts all the way, even OEM fluids because the 5mt & heater core are picky (aside from the rotella T6). Water pump is behind the timing belt so it's a "while you are in there" item too.
whenever installing fasteners into plastic, I use a torque wrench, maybe overkill/over cautious, but worth the piece of mind.
I love those hi-viz sockets btw.
I have to Imagine that the guys who make the car diy shows on cable TV watch your show here and wish they were as cool as you man.
+Brian Genter Thanks for that. TV is a whole different ball game.
Wooh...Love your special tools......so much easier.
Eric your a champion
My pump is leaking out of the weep hole. Think I could get away with just a gasket or is there internal seal damage? 2000 Altima with 156k miles. Thanks for all your videos!
Great video. Thanks
OEM for the win!
Job well done!
so so great work
The power of vice compels you!!!!!!
Seeing that aftermarket part fail reminds me how much I prefer OEM parts.
+TJC450 as if OEM parts are impervious to failure. ;)
*****
Fair enough, but that's the thing with aftermarket parts. There's such a large variance in quality from aftermarket manufacturers, some are better than OEM, some are complete garbage.
think about it if our buy OEM all the time and you car buy the time all those year go buy i rather aftermarket i gets expensive and if you go the dealer it cost 120 an hour for a mechanic that can do the same job buy the end of that it gets expensive it probably be the original price of the car for OEM and sometime there is problems with oem that the aftermarket part fixes.
Anything having to do with a hydraulic system I've always found its better to go get the highest rated brand from the dealer...i.e. master/slave cylinders, pumps... etc
I’ve worked dealerships Toyota Hyundai Kia and Subaru Toyota and Subaru are very picky with aftermarket parts always get better quality and longevity with OEM esp with Toyota
My vision sucks, but those sockets look great and easy to see the sizes. What is the brand of them?
Before you even put that aftermarket one on I was like you should always go oem with nissan I use to have issues with aftermarket coil packs as soon as I bought the oem ones boom purring like a kitten. You do great work but I would of never put that aftermarket timing kit on either!
I've used the Dorman lower control arms for my G35 and Volvo and they are pretty reliable. But, I would go OEM with certain electrical connectors, valve covers, and critical engine parts on Nissan/Infiniti's. Nissan really shafts you though when it comes to their valve covers. Some people use a hole saw and drill out old spark plug seals and then RTV in some replacement ones. It's worth a shot at least, since two new valve covers on my G35 will run about 500 bucks....
There were a lot of problems with certain after market valve covers. Many often caused oil burning issues due to blocking the pathways to allow proper pcv function.
That's a Semi Rare car, Sentra SER with the QR 25 eng, well worth fixing if you ask me.
That is the same eng as the 2.5 altimas but tuned for more power
good job bub well done
No anti seize on the spark plugs? Is there a reason, I've been told it helps prevent plugs from binding and breaking off during removal. What's your opinion.
Agreed, sometimes OEM is the way to go. Just like rear main seals on most cars. Once I R&R'd a trans because of a non oem rear main. Once.
Hey man I’ve watched a lot of your videos. And I keep wondering what brand are your sockets you’re using in this video and a lot of other videos on your hand tools. They seem to be impact sockets but I’m not sure not looking at them in person. They seem to be great because you use them on every fastener.
What would that sort of repair cost without your contributions ? How many hours off tape did you spend to reach the end point before sweet sounding engine was attained ? Great job !
Just out of curiosity, why did you tape up that intake hose, as opposed to, say, slapping some 2-part epoxy on it or something? (If you let it set up for a bit, it's pretty thick and would be easy to apply.)
Great video... Did you address the evap code or did i miss it?
How long did it take for fans to come on? I noticed it took some work to get coolant down into the radiator, squeezing top hose to get air out/fluid in. My fans didn't come on after 20 mins of idle.
dorman = 0, Eric = 1
29:30 - Hey Eric, I would recommend 3M Linerless Electrical Rubber Tape in applications like that. It's pretty great stuff, it's like electrical tape, but instead of having adhesive on one side the rubber the tape is made out of, when slightly stretched, actually fuses to itself (and never comes apart). If you wrap it tight around something it's almost like a huge heat shrink tube, it would be perfect in this situation with no worries of oil or grime making it come loose over the years.
What you did is fine by the way, but I just wanted to bring up the linerless tape because it's great.
+Jesse Crandle I did use 3M tape. Good stuff. That said, I'm ordering a new part to replace it with along with the lower control arm.
my fucking heart dropped when i heard the horrible ticking noise, first startup after a job like this is always stressful
+trigga ville - The noise surprised me as well, sounded like she was royally pooched. But when he discovered the reason why, I wasn't surprised at all. Every Dorman part I've ever bolted onto an engine or used on a vehicle, I've had to replace.
i love the suspense of turning the engine over for the first time.. It was a major film cliff hanger..
