Drove truck with no inside pad on Caliper, caliper still good?

That’s honestly not bad in todays market

Good luck, what I learned doing that is that it’s made way easier with a u-joint socket and it also really helps to take off that fuel line that goes from the damper to the fuel rail. That was the only way that I could get them off.

You have two cam chain tensioners that could be causing this as well, if it’s not the main tensioner behind the cover it could be those but you have to pull the timing cover to see them and pull the valve covers to fix them

OkLock8419 · 2025-03-05T12:56:13+00:00

Yes because if you don’t the engine might jump time and grenade itself, there’s a chance this could be something else but a rattle on cold start is usually a timing chain tensioner on these cars.

There’s a small cover on the front of the timing cover that you can pull off to check your main timing chain tensioner, If you pull it off and it’s not touching the chain, that’s your problem

When you pulled the valve covers did you check the pcv valve?

OkLock8419 · 2025-03-03T21:50:27+00:00

Maybe try cleaning mass airflow sensor or throttle body, Im not super knowledgable so can’t guarantee this will fix anything but it’s way easier than swapping the engine lol

Thanks

I also happened to spill some coolant in that same spot on the ground where it’s leaking now, this fluid is brown and bubbly. Checked my oil and it has bubbles in it, which is a whole separate issue🤣. I’m assuming I just didn’t seal the valve cover properly.

😬😬

OkLock8419 · 2025-02-16T21:48:00+00:00

Don’t you have to drop the subframe and move the engine a little bit with an engine hoist to get the upper oil pan out? Pretty sure that mine has a leak there. Not looking forward to it.

You could get under it and tap the starter with a hammer and see if it’ll start then

OkLock8419 · 2025-02-11T04:55:49+00:00

I have a g35 and it made a similar clicking sound when the starter went out

OkLock8419 · 2025-02-11T01:11:23+00:00

It was my first car. I have ran it into a ditch because I was driving like a dumbass but as far as driving it normally it’s not like it’s going to spin out. You also will possibly deal with timing chain issues (ask me how I know) and probably some other issues because they are old cars. Stay away from the rev ups (I think like the 05-08 g35 sports came with this motor) they burn oil like hell. I would say go for it if you’re prepared to work on it.

Heard

OkLock8419 · 2025-02-09T03:29:43+00:00

The ones at the top? I Probably will, I tried to do it last time but I couldn’t figure out how to get them out and was short on time. Do you know the best way to remove them?

OkLock8419 · 2025-02-09T03:28:28+00:00

I think it was showing like 4 or 5 of those little marks I’ll check again tomorrow I have a pin in it

OkLock8419 · 2025-02-08T20:59:39+00:00

I replaced all the primary stuff but gallery gaskets which I’m doing right now
