The number labeling for the procedure is so detailed and smart I’ve never seen something like that and ill never not do it from today on. Thank you 🙏🏽 so organized
Another great informational video Aaron. This one relates to the vq but alot of this info can be used on any engine. Love it brother.
I had no idea how in depth a project like this would be. I have to redo the head gaskets for my frontier and I don't have the 4-5k that the shop quoted me for. I have intermediate mechanical experience. Your video has given me an idea of what I am atleast looking at. Nervous not going to lie. Thanks.
This is amazing video. Great timing. I have a 2003 G35 sedan- that overheated and looking at overhauling the engine. I suspect that it may need the head gasket replaced. This was just what I needed. Your attention to detail is awesome.
Great video man! Your attention to detail and the way your presented it kept me hooked :) Good work putting her back together solo.
Hey thanks man! Doing my rebuild now. Thanks for the details…!
HEY AZZ great work thanks for that at least you made it fully understandable and pointed out the main issues to deal with awesome mate and how much boost do you get from the Vortech
i have played around with a few of them v1,2,3 i also play around with the Ford Barra turbo 4.0l six we get 800 hp at about 20 psi boost and there are plenty of good parts around for them so if you ever want to play with one i will send you an engine they run a garett GT5382R turbo and we have some really good software to run them its called PCMTEC developed in Aus covers mustangs as well any way thanks catch ya later
Motor looking super clean.
The black and white looks clean bro !
Very detailed and fantastic video.
How do you avoid flash rust on interior engine components if leaving engine open for so long ?
When you took the little sprockets for the camshafts off you had the dow pins pointing down. So why did you put them back on with the dows pointing up?
Dude, I fucked up the crank bolt thread on the crank doing the same thing and had to clean it up with a tap.
The thread on the bolt was shorter than the crank thread, which meant the un-threaded part of the bolt drove into the crank thread. The pulley normally makes up the difference and prevents contact. Hope it's all good.
Also, keen to see a full piston swap build!
Always wondered about that.
@@N8TeK easy way to fix it would be to install a spacer or bunch of washers under the bolt head. Or just reinstall the pulley. Same same.
So detail bro.. keep it up you are doing a great job..
Your great at explaining things... I'm a visual, hand's on leaner. You should be a Technician School Instructor 👍
aka he’s much safer in his own garage. . .for now
Do your thang A-ron! 🤙🏽
That engine is beautiful 😍
Very informative. Enjoyed the video
very good video m8 !!! keep on going !
So much information bro! You make it so it’s easier for us to do this! Yea thank you bro for all your videos! 💯
Its a aluminum head with aluminum block, you got the head resurfaced but did you check the surface on the block?
On minute 5:08, you mention that when taking off the head, you highly recommend they get machined. So what gasket do you recommend to compensate for what was taken off? I ask because the engine for a Pathfinder 2001, 3.5, has a machining maximum of 20 thousands, after that it's recommend by NISSAN, to get rid of it.
Bro that was awesome job. I have a 2007 Infiniti m35x with the V6. the car is just overheating and I get a stutter when the car is idling with no engine codes. So I think the coolant is going in the combustion chamber. will the head gasket and trimming be the same as you did on your TH-cam channel.
this is def guna help me👌thanks bro
Awesome content!!!
Help! You said you were going to give torque specs for cam caps? What’s the spec and torque pattern? Pls help ? I’m knee deep into it and am stuck trying to find those specs.
Do you have to pull the engine for this job? Is it possible in the bay?
Hey I set up the timing exactly as you said. When I spin the crank nothing seems to line up anymore. Any ideas?
Thanks bro, great video! Next is a bottom end video?
Seeing this build in action is epic, I’ve been told to DE swap my D21 pick up but I like the KA24E. The engine has been giving me problems, but what do you think would be cheaper?
Where I can buy the little o rings for the trimming cover
How did you clean and dispose the water from cleaning up the parts?
Caught it in a tray then put it in an empty coolant container and brought it to my local o reilly
Besides being a version 3 newer head gaskets, why did Cometic block off the cooling ports?
I accidentally took out my shims on the valves. Would u happen to know how they go back on?
Hey!! Love the vids thanks so much they are super helpful. Just a quick question…. I noticed the oil pickup tube you used had a completely uncovered filter screen, is this a homemade mod or is there one available out there I can buy for my VQ?
Did you do the block modification to the coolant passages before you upgraded to the VQ37 gaskets? If not, you’ll dramatically diminish the flow of coolant.
Yessir, where you grind away the port some🙌🏻🙏💯

So I’m reinstalling the cams in my Z now and I about had a heart attack, but At 15:45 I think I hear what you’re saying, you can’t put bank 1 (passenger side) in time, you put them in however the cap fits and rotate to the timing marks on bank 1 after the caps are torqued?
how did u keep tht half moon rubber gasket from moving when installing the timing cover
Squeeze a little gasket maker on it
Love this omg thanks
This guy said ok enough of me talking let's jump into it. Then continues to talk lol
What were the torque specs for the cam caps ?
The sprocket on my oil pump doesn’t have a dot it only has a line. Am I missing something???
Car is a 2003 Nissan 350z
Hey I have my engine apart and I’m getting heads machined but before I put the heads back on is there a certain way the pistons are supposed to be sitting?
Since you will be reinstalling the timing chain. It is going to have to be at top dead center so I would make sure that the crankshaft is on the timing mark with the number one cylinder at top deas
What’s the tq spec for the camshaft holders?
So want to do this to my DE.
Doooooo it!!!🙌🏻💯
@@Thecrookedking15 it my daily tho need a back daily. I've been thinking about getting an engine and do this to it and then swap it out and then do the same thing to my original one. Or just get an LS
@@Thecrookedking15 my only issue it's my daily and I'm not a VQ pro like you my dude the get it done in 1 day 2 days max is highly unlikely.
@@Thecrookedking15 I'm reinstalling my cams and the passenger side dowel pin and hole are not lined up. Any specific way to line them up using a wrench? Do I turn the cams clockwise to line them up? Thanks.
yoo I came from myke mikes channel in one of his videos he said hit you up if we need VQ help!!! I am currently looking for VQ37VHR motor for my 2011 infinti g37x I don't really know where to look or who to trust this is my first time looking for a motor and I dont want to get scammed I was just hoping you could answer some of my questions about how to go about it. maybe in dms or something.
Hey brother welcome welcome. Hit up sac city auto in Sacramento for engines. They are homies and let them know I sent you🤙🏼
What torque specs did you use for the coolant bypass plate?
Would you happen to have a good rod and main bearing brand for a vq35de?
What thickness do you recommend for vhr for a supercharger. I won’t to upgrade to head studs and head gasket.
If you arent taking much off the heads and unless you want a higher compression, stick with the factory thickness, .030 I THINK🤔
@@Thecrookedking15 appreciate the response, definitely not trying to bump compression. Would rather lower it instead.
Love your videos by the way. I have 2 TH-cam account and both of them are sub to you. Definitely need to see more of the LS 350z.
How much did you pay for both heads resurface?
So are you running stock bottom end?
Yessir. Just the engine was cleaned up. Stock bottom end tho
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey I'm trying to rebuild my vq35de and I've been trying to follow this video but I've been stuck at the inner timing chain cover installation. The bolt holes in the cover aren't lining up with the bolt holes in the engine block. Do you have any tips or recommendations? I posted a video on my channel detailing what I'm dealing with.
Is your upper pan in? Put the upper pan in after the rear timing cover.
Hey bro hope you’re doing good and sorry for asking but what do you charge for a engine rebuild on a vq35de
Usually $2k+ because the time involved from most shops. If you are bringing in the engine separate from the car anyways.
What's up everyone smash that like
That was easy 😏😏
Did you use new gallery gaskets?
Hope so 😂
I swear i seen a test about extensions on torque wrenches and it didn’t make a difference… it absorbs torque from impact guns though
💪👍💯
Hope the g37 runs didn’t see the first start
Yessir it does thank you brotha🙏🏼but he needed a tune so it left on a trailer
Ahh ok was hoping to see the first start
🤙🍕
Yooooooo
