SR20DET VVT SPROCKET REPLACEMENT VIDEO! DEATH RATTLE.

I hit record a job. You can't ignore it. I'm transforming now these cars and planes. I'm always boarding What's going on youtube welcome back to duo by luke on today's video We are going to be doing maintenance on the s15 If you guys know about these cars and the engines sr20, they develop vvt rattle So what i'm going to do now is i'm going to start the car and show you guys The rattle and then after that we're going to be changing the vvt unit and i'm going to show you guys how to do it All right, so i'm gonna rev the car up so you guys can hear the noise So what we're gonna do is we're gonna take the vvt out. I've got my new vvt here. It's in my toolbox. Oh, look at that Shout out to dy engines for supplying me the vvt Could not find anyone selling one, but my boy dave plugged it. So shout out to dave So what we've got is we've got here the new vvt in the box original And then we've got Original gaskets, obviously. I like to stick to um original parts Another one there. So yeah, what we'll be doing is i'm going to start by taking off the rocker cover So as soon as I get it off i'll turn the camera back on All right, guys, just a quick update on the vvt change Um so far i've removed the rocker cover i've timed up the engine i've removed the timing chain tensioner Removed the triangle piece off of the head to access the vvt unit So that's what we're looking at right now Engines timed up. So that little dial there Is at 11 11 o'clock And then you've got that dial here, which is at 12 o'clock The cams are positioned flat on either side, which means it's ready for the first cylinder Um down here. I don't know how well you can see but that is at tdc on the on the ati pulley So yeah, the engine is looking really really clean. Um, i'm happy with that. Obviously I maintain it quite well I do all services all the time Using mobile one oil and original nissan filters But yeah, um, you guys are probably looking and seeing what how's he doing it with the fan shroud? But i'm not gonna lie I really can't be bothered to take it off because then i'm gonna have to remove the coolant and then it'll just become really Messy, so it's gonna be a bit tight to remove this unit here But if I just pull this back a little bit i'll get a breaker bar in there crack it loose i'm, just waiting for a friend of mine to come so we can put a Spanner on the cams just to stop the timing from moving because there's no way of locking it But yeah, if there is a way of locking it guys, or if there's a special tool Well, let me know in the comments or make my life a lot easier Because otherwise you have to work really fragile and stuff. You do you don't want the timing to move on this. Hello Look, it's come to give me a hand to stop the timing from jumping. All right, let's open up this vvt Comment down below how much you think this little unit is because I tell you what it's not cheap Yeah, and on my car it goes every six months and it is so long in it the downfall of having big Cams is that it shakes this unit so much. They actually rattles in it. So You could delete it and then have more less power, but kind of like the torque and power so it's gonna stay You're gonna have to sacrifice Basically changing this every six months. So yeah comment down below how much you think this is gonna be whoever gets the closest We'll get a shout out on my instagram So what we're gonna do is i'm just gonna mark the link from one to another should be 11 links and we have it So we got 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 There's a little dot on the vvt unit and there's a little dot on the um on this Um sprocket here as well. I'm gonna mark it just to be on the safe side so I don't mess anything up I'm, just gonna put an x here x. All right, you ready lugar? Let's do it. Hold it there I'm gonna get this bad boy on there All right, you ready? Well, you ready son? All right, just a quick update the new vvt is on Thank you to lugar as well for coming down and holding the cams. But yeah, that's the new vvt there Um, what we got to do now is just tighten it up with a big breaker bar I believe it's meant to be really tight. So it doesn't really matter about torque settings Yeah, so it should be fine or 24 big. Yeah big 24. But yeah, it's all good new vvt. We mark the links If it stays in focus, so you got a dot there and you got a dot up there So, yeah, it should be 11 links i'm going to show you guys how to put back the tensioner Um, there's a little ratchet thing here you want to put it in the vice and you want to It's a bit hard to do it by hand, but i'll show you So what I do is this I'll just rest it up against a um device And then i'll just push it down like this All the way down one second guys a bit more Hold on, all right, so just grab it from that bit push it down let the oil come out. Hold on Some lovely noises black. Yeah, we'll be getting this out of this car. All right ready Give this a little wipe What we want to do the gasket's already on the head. Make sure that's nice and clean before we put it back Take that away Looking fresh. Yeah brand new All right, let's do this Okay, that's fully tensioned if we go back get it to the marks So if we go back About there. So that's about yeah, that's tvc there Yep, and then we got 11 1 Oh, we're in business, baby i'm happy It's ******* sideways. I know That's it. We're in business. Oh, yeah What we're gonna do now is we're gonna tighten it and then we'll turn the camera back on once we're done Peace so dave just messaged me. He said we got to talk the vvt to 110 foot pounds Usually I gun it on i'm not gonna lie, but obviously We've got the fan shroud so I can't even get a gun on it So we're literally gonna get a torque wrench and torque it to 110 foot pounds. Thank you. Dave 149 newton meters So it's 110 foot pounds when you calculate it's 149 newton meters how to do it is release the bottom Keep turning it spring tension On my wrist you want to go to exactly Hold on there that there That there is 149 Just turn it over a few times All right What we're gonna do is we're gonna crank it over i've turned it over by hand all the marking points that i've done are all lined up the moment of truth Yeah, it sounds sweet man. I'm happy with that cleaning the Leftover silicone from when dave built it obviously when you remove this part the silicone stays there. So i've got my homemade tool Does the job perfectly i'm literally sitting here scraping away. So if you watch carefully and this bit and that bit as well What you want to do is scrape it, but you don't want it to fall in the engine. So you just gotta Push it out light light bit of sandpaper and just go over it If you can't get it all off i'm just getting the main bits off We're going to be putting silicone on the vvt cover on the head, this is the silicone we're using Good stuff. Very good stuff I'll put it on my finger first. Then what I usually do is i'll just I'll just lay it on like that Just fill it up you want to do is you want to Basically, make sure this doesn't leak so nissan don't make a gasket for that No, do they do? No, you just gotta put silicone. You just gotta use good silicone high temp silicone Yeah, of course or standard stuff factory stuff. Yeah, this is the best you're gonna get really All right. I'm happy with that guys. So as you can see the silicone is on lovely. We're gonna press it on watch this Oh the satisfaction is unreal. So what we're gonna do Make sure the looms are out of the way Right, yeah, it's nice. All right, cool All right guys, I think we're finished everything's done the rubber cover's on everything's cleaned everything's siliconed up So what we're gonna do now is start it fingers crossed. Everything's cool, right? You ready? What we're gonna do is we're gonna let the car and then try and see if we can hear the vvt rattle If the rattle's gone, then the job is done. Hopefully it's done As you heard from the beginning of the video you heard how loud the vvt is Now if you come over i'll give it a few revs. You'll hear that the noise is gone Perfect All right, guys, that's a wrap. We've done the vvt.
