So this past week has been quite eventful ...Started working on the all Gaskets Seals
Step 1 Remove Air Intake not having the bulky OEM Air box etc ahhh makes life so much more easier
Throttle Body Before &
After
Hopefully no one kicks the bolts/screws over, bc that's the order they have to go back LOL
Intake manifold collectors YUCK! Before &
After Cleaning
The Infamous Screws
Valve Covers Off!
For a truck that drove good, i'm glad i did them. It seems like the dealer tried to hide stuff but using silicone on the Spark Plug Seals Ekkk.
VC arrived Beck/Arnley, open them up and what do you know they are OEM NISSAN Score! $530 CDN all in with shipping from Rock auto to Vancouver
Outside box
Inside box
Did Both the thermostat and water valve, drained the coolant since everything was apart next. i didn't remove the fuel line/injectors, did it somewhat blind in a tight spot but still managed.
Decided to not go any further down, still have the Rear main seals etc to do. Cleaned the Intake manifold from above and used air pressure to shoot it back up and dry.
New Valve Covers back on..have to go to Nissan to get those blow by breather hoses since they were hard as a rock
As for now just waiting for our long weekend to be over so i can grab couple more hoses for the lower manifold and finish also probably slap on new drive belts too while I'm at it, since i have them already............future plans is to basically installs these finally one day LOL
Kick back and enjoy to be contnued
