    Pro tip ...when you have the tensioners lose on these threaded tensioners ,take them apart ,run a thread chaser through the tension block ,wire wheel the tensioner bolt then reassemble with a thin coating of anti-seize .Ford's and Nissan's utilize this design tensioner and many people end up snapping the bolt as it has rusted and seized after so many years .

    @9:01... Funny story... My '87 Nissan Hardbody V6 was in this exact state when someone stole it. They drove it 40 miles with no radiator in it. They abandoned it in a parking lot and I got it back. I finished putting it back together and it fired right up. No engine damage. I still have it and it now has 465k miles on that engine. @27:45... Love that you're doing a timing belt to "Macarena". LOL. @30:00... Go to a Nissan dealer and buy a Kent-Moore oil pan separator. Works great on any car, but it's a Nissan special tool because all Nissan's have glues on oil pans.

    First Attempt In Learning. like I tell my kids all the time.. "we all make mistakes, you only truly fail when you don't learn from the mistake." If they are helping me build something or work on a car, sometimes I encourage them to "fail" when they are not confident in whatever project, they say "I can't what if I mess up?" I say "then mess up, see what happens. if it goes up in flames, figure out why and try to avoid it next time"

    If you have tapped holes in the crank pulley for attaching a puller, count yourself lucky. But for goodness sakes, douse them with PB or something before running your tap in there. It's also good to make a second pass with a bottoming tap.

      Given that some Japanese car companies give shallow threaded holes in rotors hats and brake drums to assist with removal later (insert bolt, turn) I would suspect this crank pulley had threaded holes in it already.

Ray we know that “you always love challenges” while always having yourself a great day as we have ourselves a great day while watching you. Don’t you just love how vehicle engineers come up with ideas to make the mechanic/technician’s job challenging. They’re probably in partnership with tool manufacturers for them to make specialty tools so the repair people will have to buy expensive “specially tools”. See you on the next Nissan adventure.

    @SomeRandomHuman717 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The problem with using a prybar on a steel pan is that in an extreme case like this you can see the rail area being distorted which will lead to leakage. Better to use something thin like narrow and wide slightly sharpened putty knives, which are thin enough to attack the glued gasket but not thick enough to cause distortion. Depending upon the amount of working room, even a windshield glue cutting tool might be better than a prybar.

      While there were gradual improvements such as electronic ignition and fuel injection with engines through the 1980s, the major changes occurred in the 1990s with OBD2 and computer modules. Nissans are good engines, but they could be overengineered; I mean three accessory belts plus a timing belt; makes you really appreciate a single serpentine belt.

    Well, glad my daughter no longer has her 1998 Pathfinder 4WD with same engine; on that, I even did the dreaded #6 spark plug replacement, a front drive axle, and replaced its faulty distributor. And I'm glad my 1998 Frontier (270K) and my 2004 Frontier (108K) are both 2WD 4-cylinder engines with timing chains and have 5-speeds. The 4-cylinder engines are generally considered more reliable than the VG33 engines, and are easier to work on. The AC on these works great in the Arizona summers, but I replaced the fan clutches on each.

    Diagonal cutters are the preferred tool to remove half-moon shaft keys. Also always use a fine file to touch up edges and sides prior to replacement. Never hammer a key as it widens the top edge. Always use a plate-type puller, and never a claw puller, on a harmonic balancer... or the actual designed puller. Never a claw type unless specifically designed for a claw-type puller.

    Had to do this on my nissan maxima years ago but without the experience and tool and in a cold dark garage. Very nostalgic... i think

    Ray, we have a pause button if the content gets too long. From a lifetime of working on cars and trucks, I know that not every repair fits neatly into a fixed segment. Great video so far!

    I had flashbacks of trying to remove the pitman arm replacing the steering box in my 1989 Jeep Wrangler. All I had was a fork style ball joint separator which instead of removing the pitman arm, it pulled the shaft out of the steering box. That's the day I invested in a pulley remover.

    For everything you have to remove to fix the leaks you could easily drop the motor out the bottom and fix it on an engine stand and or cradle.

    Just wanted to point out when you were removing the two hoses from the air box, 17:59, the one closest to the intake has a crack in it on the air box. I assume that will let in unmetered air, not sure where the air flow sensor is though, but it will for sure let in dirty air.
    As others have pointed out, the owner must really love this truck.

    I've seen that truck in the background for so long, my thought was it must now be a planter. Good to see the weeds are being pulled, and new weed free growth is in it's future.

    You really should look into a topside creeper. I suspect that such a thing would come in very handy on jobs like this
