The 24 bolts would have been a clueI watched the same video too.
Guess what...the valve cover is holding the camshaft too.

well, first time for me doing 'major' thing on a european engine. felt humbling...The 24 bolts would have been a clue
the cam gears are tensioned, and the valve springs should push the cams off abit... should it not?tbh, so long as the camshaft didnt fully lift up. I think you could have completed the job. It's being held down by the timing mechanism, isnt it?
I dont know..tried again this afternoon and gave up. manage to reinstall the valve cover back. will finish installation tomorrow.tbh, so long as the camshaft didnt fully lift up. I think you could have completed the job. It's being held down by the timing mechanism, isnt it?
yup, no wonder most mech dont want to operate on this engine.What a ridiculous engine design.
If you look at video, the head is really low in heightWhat a ridiculous engine design.
Tbh, I dont really understand why they need to route intake above rocker cover. Can route it at the side like other engine designsyup, no wonder most mech dont want to operate on this engine.
Other than that, its as reliable as any other engine. This engine has never failed me, the electronis is a different story.
BTW, some Nissan also comes with such engine design thanks to their 'love affair' with Renault.
maybe they want a compact design. Normal intake takes about 15cm - 20cm length in the engine bay. By running the intake above the engine, they can eliminate the space. However as we can see, it makes maintenance harder.Tbh, I dont really understand why they need to route intake above rocker cover. Can route it at the side like other engine designs
Ya, like that stupid Livina engine.yup, no wonder most mech dont want to operate on this engine.
