93 q45 gasket change help

[unknown007]

So my and my teacher looked it up and it takes 8hours total.any other faster way to finish it?

I got oil in my spark plugs ugh!!!Now im replacing all spark plugs and both gaskets.Just look at how tight that engine is makes me tired lol.It kept eating the tools and screws i had to lift it to keep taking them out.

[qship96]

what gaskets are you trying to replace? 93Q used liquid silicone to seal valvecovers. Yaris would leave you time to play with the young coeds.

But you can fit more people in a Q45.

But 007 you have a real mess, How is there oil in the plugs?

Read this: http://www.q45.org/sparkplugs and the FSM section on doing valve cover gaskets.

[unknown007]

Trust me guys I dunno.Its very messy I got mad myself.The gasket seems to just not be working anymore.The valve cover one or which ever one goes where the spark plugs are.Theres just oil in the first to on passenger side starting from the front engine.The next to are just bold.But the whole process i guess is 8hrs predicted on the program he look on. Both gaskets are $21 but still ugh..

edit:Q45.org is where i printed on how to get to the spark plugs and i checked them.

Cant drive the Yaris I gotta drive in my two feet. Then wait for my brother or aunt to pick me up even worse. No boom boom in the trunk.

What will take 8 hours doing the plugs or the valve cover gasket?

I think its time for a pro to look at it no offence.

[unknown007]

Got it I need to replace the rocker cover gasket.Do i need to replace the cylinder head gasket while Im at it?

To be honest there's nobody to trust especially when you get hustled.I've known mechanics who will break things or mess something up ti fix it and some who just take your money.Rather do it myself at school with my teacher we got more than enough tools there and equipment to scan the car.

Its the thing people say "I trust my own work then others."

[Infinitiguy19]

Yea me too, I figure I have the tools and the knowlege why not do it my self.

But yea replace as much as you can with out removing the plenum, Because when thats off then the money and time increase exponetialy.

I have heard of such mecahnics and they are the scum of the earth.

[unknown007]

Whats or wheres the plenum?

[Infinitiguy19]

AKA Intake manifold.

It also has the Infiniti Logo on it.

[unknown007]

Oh you tripping if i was to remove that i might as well bead blast that or w.e. its called then clean out that radiator puddle in the middle that been there cause of a bad radiator cap that i replaced.

[Infinitiguy19]

Well its not a terrible pain to do. My fear is the hoses having to memorize where each goes and all, What if I miss one.

But yea if you remove that then you might as well remove the runners and clean those, You will see that where the injector goes and below its nearly spotless but above the injector its a mess.

Good luck though, Make sure to have the FSM handy.

[unknown007]

I sure do and all you gotta do is use electrical tape on the hoses.Different colors or mark them and make yourself a sketch of the manifold and colors labels.Then when putting back on it's easy because it'll be taped and you'll have a cheat sheet.

I dunno if i get another car ima get another Q45 lol

[Infinitiguy19]

There is about 30+ hoses to my knowledge.

But you getting another Q45 is not the best finacial choice for you right now.

When I got the 1991 Q45 part car I thought thing would fly but so far I have sold only: Brake lamp sensor, trunk trim, caliper bolts and light ring for the front ashtray. Not exactly living it.

I recomend you stick with that you have unless your a millionare in this economy.

[unknown007]

No i meant sell mine lol and buy another but again my plans right now is to get my uncle old 240sx strip it sell it maybe keep the shell or some parts and build it after fixing my car or just selling it all together by parts to make more money.

[Infinitiguy19]

WHy not get the 240, sell the motor and buy another VH and put that in there?

[unknown007]

cause if i part out the 240sx which has everything on it still i can make more money feel me then the motor comes in but first i gotta take it off his hands he very anal about it.Been sitting for years and he wont give it up.

[Infinitiguy19]

does it run and drive?

[unknown007]

Dunno has flats and been sitting for 5years will try and crank it but other than that will sell interior and shell with messed up engine if it has a messed one.

We always get off topic.hahaha
