Step By Step Video Rebuild of VG33E (non supercharged 1st gen) engine

[Cameron23]

Was combing youtube and found this guy who rebuilt his VG33E and did a video step by step of the process. I have no idea if he's doing it right or what but maybe this will help out someone someday. Maybe its someone on here I don't know.

Looks like he did a pretty good job. He only rebuilt the upper end (heads) but it seems that he did it right.

I went through the exact same thing a couple of years ago and watching the video felt like a flashback to my own rebuild. The white first gen, with all the same accessories in the engine bay, his stripped timing belt and lack of bent valves in the heads made for a perfect match to my experience.

I'm really starting to question if these really are interference engines or if they are just so close that Nissan didn't want to risk calling them non-interference.
