Nice vid bro, im going to try and do the timing cover on the sr20 in my s13. Do i need to remove the gearbox to access the 2 rear bolts of the upper oil pan?
you can remove all the upper oil pan bolts with trans on however, you must remove trans bolts to drop it iirc. check forums, people find very clever shortcuts for things like this. use your best judgement when taking a shortcut and if you need help, DM me on instagram, im always down to help if i can !!
quite funny, i was just watching your older sim videos again to set up a rig with a buddy of mine ! it is a P2M timing cover from enjuku racing www.enjukuracing.com/products/p2m-front-cover-oil-pump-assembly-for-nissan-sr20det-s13-s14-s15.html/?afmc=5lp
You should have purchased and installed the updated new style timing chain guide which is made out of metal. The plastic ones can break over time and ruin the engine.
I would have purchased soo much more but money was tight, I know for sure that I’m going to switch over to a mechanical timing chain tensioner in the future
Yeah, check the time stamp for when I applied gasket. FSM says to go outside of four bolt holes because the bolts are located inside the pan instead of outside !!
@@kriswyche Aw I see, I hope I remembered to do that when assembling my SR last year not sure if I did or not haha guess I'll find out if it leaks, or I guess it's so no RTV gets in and clogs up your oil pickup
Actually I have a question. How did you remove the valves from the sr? Like I’m trying to remove mine with a tool but the valve moves when I try to compress the spring. My head is off of the block so idk if I have to use a nut or a cloth to make the valve stop moving so I the spring actually compressed.
I’ve never removed valves from sr but I have removed them in general before, there are retainers at the top of the valve stem, when you compress the spring with the tool, they should become more visible and I used a magnet to remove them when I first did this long ago on different motor. Then the spring and washer should be able to come out, keep in mind without the retainer the valve will be loose so have a towel or something to catch it
