- Nissan 3.3 Valve Cover Gasket Replacement
In this video I walk you through the process of removing the valve covers on this engine. The intake manifold plenum on this engine can be quite tricky to get off, I show you the easiest way to remove this with the least amount of issues after repair. Most of the time the first few times you do this job you will tend to remove multiple components you do not need to remove or disconnect. By doing this there is the potential for more problems as this engine is common to have multiple items break or split while removing and reinstalling.

The Japanese always loved putting excessive hoses on their engines. Thanks for the tips. I learn a lot from your channel.
I like to put a heat gun on sold hoses like those and they get soft and come off easier
Yup, prepare to change EVERY rubber hose you have to touch when doing this job. Its not that hard, but 20+ year old rubber hoses are trashed......while the engine itself is super reliable, it looks like a BMW engineer designed it by how nonsensical things are placed.
Idk why my dad said this was a easy car to work on
You said this was your first time doing one and then you said it's been awhile since you've taken one apart
Would really help if you zoomed out the video once in a while
Thanks for going through the various manifold connections and hoses. I just removed my plenum and valve covers today and it's a real struggle to get everything removed when all those pieces have been undisturbed for over 20 years. Surprisingly the most frustrating and time consuming part was unplugging all the electrical connectors. Again, they're totally baked and brittle from being cooked for a couple of decades by the engine heat. While apart I'm taking this opportunity to replace every vacuum line and every hose connected to the plenum. One tip I might offer- DO NOT replace your rear coolant hose clamps with worm gear type. If you do they will probably leak because they apply uneven clamping pressure - particularly the small diameter types.
This is the best video I have seen. This guy made it easy to understand and he answered all of my questions. The way he described how it went for him the first time that he repaired a 3.3 was exactly my experience!
Nissans have quite a lot of hoses and connectors under the hood. Quite intimidating to a lot of people especially the ones with with minimal experience. I wish the owner would have approved the extra work. Thanks for the vid!
Just finished my valve cover gaskets on my 3.3 04 frontier. Your video was spot on, made job easy and straight forward. Thanks
I’m not looking forward to having to do this on my truck but know I have to. I’ve been avoiding removing the plenum and all the problems that come after. Figure I will change everything that can be changed under it while it’s off.
Wow, never seen phillips head screws on a valve cover before. Good vid Tony.
This is great. I just got an 04 xterra I’m gonna fix up and the valve covers are indeed messy. She’s solid otherwise. Thanks man!
Excellent video brotha! I always appreciate the tips & tricks & seeing you using the same processes as me, like little rectangles of Scotch Brite. Been doing that for years, it always makes the surface look new. 👍👍
Dude this looks like a pain in the butt but I'm glad I have the correct way to do it. Thanks for the help!
Nice camera really clear 👍
Thanks, great video. Same engine as Pathfinder R50 in Australia.
So good! Thank you!
Super helpful!
Good details👍
