So I just replace my valve covers, spark plugs, all the gaskets for the intake manifold and I went to start my car and it turns over and runs but every 1-2seconds my exhaust is popping? Is this because of improper ignition coil connections? I’m stuck
Sounds like one of your coil packs may have gone bad after being placed back on the spark plugs, that happened to me too. Disconnect the coil packs one at a time. If you get to the bad one, nothing will change, but if it's good, it'll run even rougher when disconnected.
I was literally planning on buying valve covers this month, perfect timing before buying them. But I wanted to ask did u buy new oem headlights? Because I was planning on doing the same since mine are pretty bad
@Zspeed No.prob..hey ingit a question..dunno if you.can help..we did valve covers.and gaskets,plugs and coils..everything was fine last night and this am when he went to.work..then on way home from work these codes p0300.multiple misfires.and p0011 camshaft sensor A,timing over advanced..now that drivers side sensor pigtail broke.and we spliced one on...any suggestions? I really don't wanna take to shop and pay exhorbant amount of money,but I'm stumped..fml..and question,are you self taught or donyou work or own a shop? Sorry for all the questions
Replace camshaft position sensor A first, use genuine Nissan parts from Z1 motorsports. If that doesn't work, check each coil pack for possible failure! Hope this helps!
Yeah I'm going to have to do this sooner or later. I keep eyeing the red cover you see on Amazon but just don't know about their quality. On the other hand, the OEM ones are very expensive.
I just did it it wasn't that bad. I got the white aluminum ones from Amazon and I mean the quality could be better but I definitely wanted aluminum and they look good on there cuz you can't see the minor defects
and if i dont add gasket maker at the corners is it going to automatically leak as soon as i drive car,...?...not sure why the oem gasket itself wouldnt be sufficient and not leak.
Give yourself at least two days, so you can take your time! Putting everything back together was easier than the disassembly process!! You can do it 💪!
I watched his video and had never done before and did it in a weekend safely..id also buy the new connectors forbthe cam sensors bc one of ours broke..follow this video and have all the tools and you should be good to go@@reddeder-xr7eu
Thankx a lot sir. Very detailed and meticulous. Its the best.
Very detailed an excellently explained video I was thinking about getting the aluminum valve covers has all seals are removable and replaceable
I would recommend aluminum valve covers, my next set will be aluminum!!

@@Zspeed tha ks man..I'm also leaning towards a vacuum leak

Apex, they make for Nissan and don't have a ridiculous price...

Thank you for making this video, really helps a lot.
when the vehicle was made at factory did they add gasket maker to the corners?
Yes!
do u have to add gasket maker to the corners or is this just an added protection?...
and if i dont add gasket maker at the corners is it going to automatically leak as soon as i drive car,...?...not sure why the oem gasket itself wouldnt be sufficient and not leak.
Yes, you need to apply gasket maker in the corners, that's how the factory does it. Will it leak right away I'm not sure, let me know what happens!
for someone thats never done this how many hours are required total remove and install valve covers...it looks like its quite a bit of work and labor

Definitely a 4-5 hour job if you have someone who’s done it, or is pretty knowledgeable on cars, but if alone definitely two days minimum
