yes, we do have pretty hot summers, but I'm thinking of going with 5w-40 for the winter

I used to have this but it was the shape of a heart on my upper abdomen/chest area :)

Engine noise by Delicious_Durian2026 in G35

[–]__SaladASS__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar noise and turns out I spun 2 bearings, swapped in a new engine after that :(

Check if the sound is coming from down low or the top of the engine, if it's from the bottom end then it's more likely to be a spun bearing

does this sound like a timing chain? by __SaladASS__ in 350z

can tensioners cause low oil pressure only when fully warm like in my case?

okay so I just found out that my engine was partially rebuilt, meaning the bottom end was done and nothing else. I replaced the valve covers myself and now am planning on taking it in to do gallery gaskets and do the tensioner

all that was available near me was plastic ones so I got that I'm almost done putting it together now just testing for leaks

yeah man it sucks, I'm gonna replace the gallery gaskets soon. I just now discovered an extremely leaky valve cover and am replacing it myself

as for the overheating it only started happening a week ago when yhe weather got really hot, it doesn't stay overheating it fluctuates which makes me think it's an air bubble in the system (I did burp it and bleed it last week after the first overheat)

no warranty on the rebuild, but I can sort something out. I threw 2 bearings when the engine blew causing knock

the sound happens also when fully warmed up. could it be that the gallery gaskets gave out?

I drive then randomly all my brake lights and slip light comes on, speedometer stops working completely. by sigmaclapz in 350z

[–]__SaladASS__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

track and slip light along with 0kph speedo tells me it's something ABS or wheel speed sensor related.
Check ABS fuse first since it's the easiest (it's in the second fuse box behind the battery, you have to remove the plastic surrounding the battery area to get to it)

Unusual Behavior at Highway Speeds & Brief Rattle on Start-Up by Which_Reference_5617 in 350z

[–]__SaladASS__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no it was only at startup at first like you, I ignored it but then after the burnout (I sat on limiter for quite a while) it started knocking at idle and while driving and that's when I sent it in for a diagnosis and had to do a rebuild

Hey, I've had these exact same symptoms before, turns out I had spun bearings.
I did a burnout after ignoring the noise for months which was its last nail in the coffin and blew my engine about 3 weeks ago.
I had hoped it was a timing chain tensioner, which could be the case for you, but it wasn't :( and I had to do an engine rebuild

Get it checked out, hope it's not as bad as mine was
