Engine Ticking Noise Rythmic

Yeap, Galley gasket has failed.

Any pro tips on this oil pan? I can’t even get a razor blade to the glue

Rusty · 09-14-2018, 08:39 PM

All the bolts out? If so, put one back on each side. Just a couple of threads screwed in. When the pan pops loose. This keeps the pan in place and not making a mess of things.

I've used a wood chisel at the split line and tapped it in with a hammer. After cleaning up the split line. If there is any marks or gouges. I use a fine file to file down the raised area. Just be careful.

I had all the screws removed originally, I can put a few screws in. The problem is I I have even but a razor blade on a handle and slightly tapped it in and It won’t even let the razor in. It’s so tight at the split line.

Jordan12berg · 09-14-2018, 09:09 PM

This is what I’m working with

Jordan12berg · 09-14-2018, 09:56 PM

Got it!

And 125xxx miles, blown gasket, still no metal shavings at the bottom of the pan or the magnetic plug

Jordan12berg · 09-17-2018, 09:11 PM

Great these bolts for the galley gaskets, the 4mm hex bolts, are starting to strip before I get them to 12ftlbs. I put loctite on them.

Rusty · 09-17-2018, 09:24 PM

You putting it back together again? How bad was the gaskets?

Yeah, sometimes those small bolts don't have enough head on them for a good bite.

Jordan12berg · 09-17-2018, 09:30 PM

Yea finally, they were pretty much exploded on the sideways Y piece.

So my torque wrench can’t even torque down to 12 before they strip. It’s close but it won’t click before they give. I got loctite on them am I going to be ok?

Is the torque wrench in in.lbs or ft.lbs? A 4mm diameter would be in, in.lbs. If your torque wrench is in, ft lbs. And you are torquing to that. 12 ft.lbs is 144 in.lbs.

Jordan12berg · 09-18-2018, 03:23 PM

Haha torque wrench is in ft lbs. I have a hex tool set with a 3/8 connection set I was using.
But yea I followed this DIY: 370z Oil Galley #9 says 12 ft lbs and I dug up all bolt orders and tq specs in the fsm.

I read the thread. Yeah, it says 12 ft.lbs. I see where it's a 4mm allen. Not a 4mm diameter bolt. Big difference between the 2.

Doesn't someone make upgraded bolts that can be torqued properly? I am not sure who makes them, that's what is going on my car.
Do a search, it is on here somewhere. The bolts and gaskets are upgraded.

It's a steel bolt threading into aluminum hole. Don't think the issue is with the bolt, it's with the hole. If this is happening. The fix would be to heli-coil the hole.

Pic from the DIY thread.

So they are definitely more than hand right with loctite, I should be good right?

And these are the “upgraded bolts” from concept Z
And looking at the DIY pictures it looks like they stripped on them as well.
