Hey everyone,
Been posting on a few forums and Facebook pages trying to get as much info and insight as I can.
Recently bought a 2002 Infiniti G20, 209K miles running and driving great, for $800
Long story short, I decided to replace the valve stem seals (possible cause for some oil burning, not sure) and in the process, I broke a valve in Cylinder 1. That brings me to my current situation of removing the head, inspecting the head, replacing the necessary components and reinstalling the head with a new head gasket, head bolts and then making sure the timing is correct. The chain has honestly been all over the place, so I need to make sure I reinstall the chain appropriately, possibly replace, with the crank and the cam sprockets. So I'll also need to remove the oil pans and crank pulley.
Anyone here familiar with an SR20DE? Hopefully my endeavor isn't in vain.
Also, I bought replacement CV axles to replace the current boot torn CV's, and have just been informed it may be best to rebuild the OEM CV axles due to the balancer on the CV shafts from the factory being omitted on aftermarket CV axles. Anyone have some more info about that?
