What happens when Your butterfly screws aren't Loctited! (PICS)

Blk2k3Specv · 2008-10-28 01:09:48

so im taking my motor out seeing that i have to replace the block when i remember awhile back right after doing my BSR getting a misfire because of a small bb found in cyl 4 ! no biggie removed and everything back to normal! now a yr later i decide to check my IM and find my secondaries like this!!

better believe im goign to check the valves for damage and that piston but now that i remember i did notice a slight torque loss hmmm

bmarcinczyk14 · 2008-10-28 01:11:34

uh oh, thats not good. u didnt notice anything while driving besides torque loss? no weird noises or anything?

Blk2k3Specv · 2008-10-28 01:15:41

valve tap but not on that side of the motor on the timing chain side(cly1)

bmarcinczyk14 · 2008-10-28 01:17:22

i hear a weird ticking noise at only around 2,000 rpm and its only when the engines cold. once it warms i dont hear it anymore. could this be a butterfly screw?

Blk2k3Specv · 2008-10-28 01:21:11

noo i doubt it because it would cause your engine to misfire because they tend to get stuck in the sparkplug chamber adn cause a mis fire and fowl the plusg but hey it culd be.. but what it really sounds like is valve tap check those buckets

bmarcinczyk14 · 2008-10-28 01:22:29

but valve tap is normal correct?

Blk2k3Specv · 2008-10-28 01:23:39

yes especially in our engines.. but sometimes they can get really bad

i know for a fact that they did something in order to further prevent this. i dont know whether its happend to any 2006's, so theres no guarentee but its a much smaller chance of it happening

for the 06's just pull the upper manifold and change them. 45 min of work to feel better and not have to have a new motor.

With any of the q25's all u have to do is take off the I'M but in the 04 ad up motors I'm pretty sure they did comething to prevent it..weather it was to put a mesh or loctite from factory

nitrousONLY · 2008-10-28 10:35:29

mine looked way worse them that i should of took a pic, every single butterfly was bent and warped, and one of the betterflys got gammed in my manifold fucking everything up

They never put any mesh in there. They added a lock washer and a bit of loctite. My engine is from an 06 and it had them already thread locked with some loctite. I just took em' off and put some of my own in, just to be sure.

You don't know if that guy a Nissan had a bad day or what. His next shift may have been in 5 minutes and there is a burrito with his name on it.

Ahahaaa Julio May Have Put Taco Sause Instead Of Loctite Lol So Yeh I Guess It Is Better Safe Then Sorry
