350z Valve Covers DIY Replacement, Fixing Oil Spark Plugs and Oil Dripping From Valve Covers
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- We are replacing the Valve covers on this 2005 Nissan 350z. The process should be the same on all 350Z's as well as the G35's and Maximas I would imagine. This is a pretty involved project, but not overly difficult. It took me about 6 hours start to finish to do this project in total taking my time.

Nice job. The transparency of this video made it for me. (Not knowing what your doing) and repeating a few times. Then BOOM we’re done guys putting it all back.
I liked it.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm trying real hard to put out quality DIY instructionals. It is hard to capture it all on video, especially these longer projects lol. I always appreciate your comments man! Thanks!
What is funny though is i did this back in March and pulled the VVT solenoids off to remove the valve covers. Then literally no joke last night before this video posted one of the VVTs went bad lol...so that video is coming as well
@@AGuyandHisProjects Damn really. Lol that’s the luck. Yea I’m loving it. I think ur catching very important diy details.
@@AGuyandHisProjects what’s the vvt for??
@@caleblandry2580 I belive it reads the timing chain as it goes by and gives that info to the computer. Not entirely sure as of yet. I have a bit of research to do
Great video...might try to do it myself too
Do it! It is fairly envolved, but not hard. Let me know how it goes if you do it!
Good video!
Question, how long is that flexible screw driver and where did you get it?, I've been trying to get the back passenger side valve cover screw off for about a week!.thanks
That actually isn't a screwdriver at all! You can pick them up at most autoparts stores, just a flexible magnet. Magnet is strong enough to hold the bolt enough that you can frustratingly get the first thread or two in place before getting it the rest of the way with a ratchet/socket
@@AGuyandHisProjects thanks alote
That hose you say was a pain in the butt is that the hose that’s connected to the fuel part that bolted down on the corner of the plenum. Does that one connect to the the throttle body?
Oh crap that's been a minute since then I don't remember anymore haha
Are you actually recommending -" To BUY a service manual ". Did I hear that right??
I don't remember what I say in this video but yes, I would recommend picking up a service/repair manual. Full of fantastic information.
hey so I just got my 350z and I think a lot of oil is getting into the spark plug and it’s causing a misfire. do you think if I change the valve cover it should solve that?
That is probably a very good possibility!
After I did this I got a random misfire p0300 after a while it got p0021 changed the oil didn't help thought it might be coil pack and spark plug changed all of it still just p0300 and p0021 any suggestion?
I am not a mechanic by any means, but sounds like potentially a timing issue. The p0021 I think could relate to camshaft sensors. Let me know what you figure out!
@@AGuyandHisProjects Well I just changed the driver side vvt and I'm check on it after work tomorrow as I got work in a bit.
Did you figure the p0300 out? I just got the code on my z for the spark plugs not being tapped correctly and the Pcv was damaged. Fixing them all today and will update
