- In this video i will show you the removal and installation process for 2003 Nissan Sentra 1.8L. This job was pretty easy and only took me about 2.5-3 hours. From what i understand this process works for 2000-2006. Thanks for watching and Please Like and/or Subscribe!
The music is a bit loud. I’m constantly turning it up and down.
Mind blown can not believe you took an aluminium head off and didn't take it to the machine shop to be resurfaced literally cut the chances of the head gasket holding by atleast 60% but thank you guys like you are what keep guys like me in business.
I just bought a 2004 Sentra i never did timing chain before i was wounding about the chain tensioner thank for this video. I need to do a head gasket job on my Sentra.
What about the chain tensioner?
@@sypher0101 I took that off but i can't take off the intake camshaft bolt off. Is the bolt thread so i turn it right to take it off the intake camshaft bolt?
I don't speake inglish and i unerstand you man, very explícity, You are "un chingón"
Did you check the head to see if it was warped? And what was that stuff you sprayed on the gasket? Is it common for these heads not to warp? Also, why is it necessary to put it in tdc if not going to remove the harmonic ballancer and chain?
Very easy way to do it . Nice job,
More videos need to be made for common cars like the B15 sentra
Please I'm a mechanic in Ghana and I love how you does your work, can you please help me to join you and work with you.
Excellent video, I just replace the head gasket on my daughters 2002 1.8 Sentra. I installed a new thermostat and radiator. It also took me two oil changes to get the oil clean.
I don't think you needed to take the radiator out
I did like your job. I feel like I could perhaps do the same thing to my sons exact same car too. I don’t know about that torque thing though. Thanks for sharing.
The diagram shows 1-10 head bolts going from the outside in,does it make a difference if you start at 10 or 1?
Thank you so much for this video did everything you did to a t and my 05 b15 sentra sounds amazing now
Our mechanic just quoted $3400 for this. Doesn't seem like it should cost that.
It takes a while. Took me about 12-13 hours and I’m no stranger to wrenching.
Appreciate the video very helpful, but can you please work on the audio levels for your video? The music is so freaking loud. That I have to turn it down. And then I have to turn it all the way back up to here when you're speaking.
to be absolutely sure get a chemical test kit from harbor freight tools to see if exhaust gas is in the coolant.
How much to pay the macanic price for the job of replacing a head gasket
Isnt it standard practice to machine the surface/cylinders (genuinely curious) or is that more so if there residual gunk? or how you know you need to machine/level it ?
Hi i need help taking off the intake camshaft bolt off, i took the exhaust camshaft bolt off easy but not the intake side. Is the intake camshaft bolt thread i turn right to take it off?
Okay video. Just because we are removing a certain part of the vehicle doesn't mean we gloss over the other parts that we need to put back. Taking things off is easy it's putting them back that's the challenge. Skipped over crucial parts. Also have adequate lighting IOT show those who watch future videos EXACTLY what it is you are referring to. Aside from those grievances video was decent
Any issues with oil leak? I noticed when you oiled the head bolts you dipped the threads in the oil (looked quite a bit). I applied a fraction of that oil on the threads & I suspect when screwing it in, it pushed oil out and squeezed past the new head gasket. :/
Is that copper stuff necessary? I’m just worried about electrolysis
The head has to come off and flpped over cleaned and checked with a straight edge at minimum. I always take the head to be shaved and new valve seals ,he also checks the valves and guides at the same time.
The person who bought it off his lot will most likely have to pay for a new head gasket in a short period of time. I did it the same way on a Sentra when I was 17 and it lasted 2wks. I was young and broke then, never again.
My guy, pleasseee. For the valve cover i cant find this anywhere. What is the bolt tighten pattern and the torque for those bolts?
I couldn't find it either. I just started in the center and worked my way to the ends. I just snugged them up real good but not over tighten them.
great video, you all made that look so easy I have a 2004 sentra with the 1.8 I have a persistent POO11 code any ideas? other than that it runs like it is new 185000 miles. We purchased it new. I want to get this code taken care of
new spark plugs and take your injectors out and air hose them dudes code should go away if not gut your cat out if it has set for any amount of time take out your backseat and reveal your gas tank if it's dirty shop vac that whole dude rinse it with water and repeat them dry it by hand the whole tank from the backseat whole in the middle then new plugs and air hose them injectors thats how to make it like new ive had the 04 and the 06 1.8 ive made both completely custom in and out its such a great car and easy to do anything to it
Not sure if you mentioned anything about checking the gap with a flat edge?
hi how are you? i have question how long i takes to do all the job. thank you..
How long did the procedure take?
Took me 12-13 hrs
Nice 👌 job brother 👍 like a professional love the video helped me out
Mine is seeping very slightly. Thinking of doing them next summer. My 06 Nissan Sentra has been the most reliable car I’ve ever owned. Just did drum shoes after 16 years, original hardware and everything lol.
This is very indepth. Thank you for shooting this!
how many miles did this sentra have?
Good video 👍
Very nice diagram i wish i had the tools to do it myself how much est do you think a mechanic would charge to do it?
About 1k or more.
I borrowed my Mom's 2003 Nissan Sentra 1.8L GXE, with 80K on odo. Mind you, she drives short trips on surface streets, only. She did admit she had to top off the coolant every ~50 miles. I drove it on the freeway and when I exited to get in line for fast food, the radiator bellowed white smoke. The oem stock radiator's plastic top developed a 9 inch hairline fracture. My Mechanic diagnosed a blown head gasket. Mechanic quietly said it may be time for a newer car.
mine did the same with stock radiator. the leaky head gasket pushed air bubbles into cooling sys. between the increase in air bubbles, no heat @ from vents, coolant being pushed out into the reservior, the high water temps, the radiator was a tell tale sign that more things were going to break if i didnt fix that head gasket.
excellent thank you
Hey i got a 2000 nissan primera with a qg18 and I'm having a overheating problem I check water pump thermostat radiator and radiator cap and the car still overheating. Now the water boiling up so its the headgasket gone?
Sounds like a bad headgasket
I'm going to change it myself but i dont have a torque wrench, so can i use a normal wrench to do the job?
@@natemorgan4665 you would need to torque the head bolts so you would need one. Harbor freight or online You can find a 1/2 torque wrench there for 20$
Excellent video. I want to do mine but I don’t have a crane 🏗 to hold the head and the chain! Are you in CA? Can you do mine?
Great job men. Thanks for the details all of works.
Good stuff brother Knoxville Tennessee here
Dumb question, but can you access those allenwrench bolts without removing the camshafts? I’m wondering if the head can be separated from the block without removing them
Nope
How did you clean the cylinder head surface and engine block surface?
It looks like he used a razor blade
Music is too noisy Pls remove
Get video the music was loud as hell
I Hate The Music
