i'm questioning your taste in music

@TheKodaShane LOL! Was in my buddies shop and he had the radio on while he was working on a project!

Is this build simular to a Nissan 2002 Altima 4 cylinder? I need to replace my head gasket and really cannot afford to pay over $1000 for labor alone. I usaully do minor mechanic work myself but never did anything like this. My biggest concern is Timming chain when I put it back together. What Head Gasket Sealant do you recommend? And about how much will Head to Yeild bolts cost as you recommend it needs to be replaced?

Well done will your vids, I like how you keep explaining as you do it.

@willcast21 Thank you for the compliment.

Unfortunately, the 2.5/3.5 in the altima's is a new game. You can still use my video as a general "how to", most nissan's use timing chains.

As for "Head Gasket Sealant", we use Permatex Copper Spray on all of our head gaskets.

TTY (Torque to yield) bolts usually are not super expensive. If they seem overpriced, check out the cost on ARP headstuds. ARP's are reusable over and over.

You forgot to drain the coolant properly, when it mixes with the oil it'll create acid that'll eat away at your bearings -- creating a knock.

[S13xCrazy]

@jnight Never heard of this before - but thanks for the tip! We have been doing this for about 6 years and have never had any issues. This is the easiest/most affordable way for someone at their home to take care of it.

were you using a torque wrench to break the bolts free? or was that just the sound of the bolts breaking free making the click

hey man can find your site anywere i need a headgasket kit and some head bolts can you send me the link

[Emas20]

@tehxdonjuan you can take the head off with the engine in the car. but what i did was take out half the intake manifold with it cause its easier to do

[tehxdonjuan]

Does the engine have to be completely removed to work on the head? Or can you just remove the head from the engine bay?
