Wish me luck!!!!

[Chrispd100]

Ok everyone.... I am ready to take on this project.... A while back ago i messed up one of my connecting rod bearings(long story don't ask) and now i have everything i need to fix... So starting tomorrow the engine in my Versa is coming out. I will try to take some pics about it and what im doing and post... But what i need most is everyone to wish me good luck... and any behind the scenes type advice if you got it.. Thank you all!!!

[blindsnyper]

was your V making any noises having that messed up?

[Ever Victorious]

You know, that saying "don't ask", will get someone to ask, right?

So, uhm... HOW?

[Chrispd100]

The answer is yes... it was making a very loud knocking sound.... And well... long story short.... i was off roading and i put a hole in the oil pan and all the oil drained out with out me knowing... the oil light never came on so i had no idea... lesson learned here.... always check your oil levels... as far as off roading, the versa does an amazing job. You may be thinking "well it apparently does not do a good enough job if you put a hole in your oil pan"... However it was doing a certain activity that put the hole in it, not just the off roading part. And by the way im disappointed that i still have not gotten a "good luck Chris".... its not very assuring....

[Chrispd100]

funny story... ive done this also... but not in my versa... it was a couple of years ago when i had a 1.8t jetta... i was messing around in a field by my work and i hit a little jump and the car bottomed out and then the oil light came on... i got out of my car, and to my surprise oil was just pouring out (just like at work, i service oil wells) as soon as i saw oil i called my cousin, she worked at AAA... so i got it towed to my uncles house, took the oil pan off, had a friend weld it and bam... more shananagans.... i beat the living crap out of that car.... so good luck chris.... hope all goes well....

i too have put some mudd on my baby... well worth it...

[Chrispd100]

Ok well as i have promised here are some photos.... i know everything does kind of look like a mess but i know where everything is and im almost done with this monster...

BTW: Does anyone know where I can buy a clutch for this car other then at the dealer and paying $160 for it... im on a very very tight budget and im trying to save as much money as I can.. But i figure after looking at my clutch i might as well replace it now while its out rather than having to take it all apart again a few months down the line... Thank you everyone!!!!

[illf8ed]

glad to hear everythings coming along well. I looked everywhere i could think of and i couldn't find the clutch anywhere.

[Chrispd100]

i can get a stock clutch, but if i can get one cheaper then i would want to get that but if not than i would want to spend a few extra dollars and just get a performance one then...

What was that big cover in pic #4? Is that the timing cover?

[biggie]

What was that big cover in pic #4? Is that the timing cover?

Yes, that would appear to be the 'front' timming cover.

[KimberKenobi]

off-roading the Camel? God, I need to stop coming here... you guys give me bad ideas... XoD

Good luck with the work!

[Chrispd100]

Yes that is indeed the front timing chain cover.... that was a bit of a pain in the *** that was...
