I recalled looking to buy an 350z long ago and never heard about the gallery gasket issues. I think the same V6 is also used in other models like the g35, g37, Maxima and Altma etc.... Any idea about the percentage of failure rate?

The screw that is shown in the red circle. The edge of that screw and the other screws that hold everything down. You will want to take a center punch to that edge and put a dimple on that edge and into the metal. If you want to feel really safe. Put another punch mark 180 degrees from it. This will keep the screws from backing out and loosening.

I don't want to be that new guy who over posts but I plan to throw some pictures up today to confirm my chain is aligned with the markings correctly before I pull it off. I have been hand turning this thing forever and havent gotten close yet. I'm tempted to mark things where they are now and just remove it. |

I took pics of EVERYTHING. After pulling the primary chain off everything moved around a little but I haven't touched the secondaries so I'm not too concerned. I honestly don't feel too confident changing the secondaries out. I should have the boundary gears, new chain, water pump, thermostat, etc tomorrow or Wednesday so I will be able to button it up soon. Here are the pics I took before removing it.

Well, I think I made a pretty stupid mistake. When I was turning the motor over by hand to time it, I didnt use the pulley or a spacer, I just put the bolt directly into the crankshaft. When I went to pull the bolt out after timing it I noticed it was a little tough coming out. And now it wants to bind up going back it after a few turns. I ordered a new bolt, but my fear is that I damaged the threads in the crankshaft. I assume I can chase the threads if that's the case but it's not something I have any experience with. Any suggestions?

Using just a c*nt hairs worth of blue loctite will work just fine.

Dimpling the edge of the screw won't damage the threads. Too far away. You don't touch the threads.
