How the hell can anyone treat a car this way? I bought this Maxima recently and have had a few problems. Went to replace secondary chains and tensioners to find out it was primary chain. Look at how bad the sludge is in this motor! Makes me want to slap the taste out of whoever owned this cars mouth! Getting her cleaned up and hope that this hasnt already caused permanent and major damage.

 

Ahh hell it wont let me post pics. Check out my photobucket and you will see what the engine looks like. Its rediculouse.

Its private. Move it to a public folder.

 

My bad. It should be good now

 

4 quarts of cheap motor oil + 1/2 quart of ATF in the crank case, run for five-ten minutes, drain, refill with good, dependable motor oil. Should clean out and break up a lot of that stuff.

 

Wow, that's horrible man. It looks like the previous owner didn't take care of that car at all. Hopefully you get everything fixed up and get to enjoy this car for what it's worth.

 

Yeah hopefully I caught it in time. Love the car and hopefully after some tlc it will treat me right. Cant wait to drive it after this is fixed. She had a huge increase in power after a good oil change and new plugs.

 

Well, hopefully you keep us updated. If you are running into anymore issues. I'm sure the people here can answer any further questions you have.

 

I am not surprised, bro. My uncle changes his oil twice a year (Nissan), and my godfather changes his once a year (Audi). Ill-regardless of how much I jack them, they don't change their behaviour. Sucks, cause I wouldn't mind having the Audi if he treated it better.

 

For those lazy to click on the link:




wow

 

The results from a compression-test would be interesting to see. It would, at least, give you an idea about what damage has been caused by this neglect.

 

That's some funny stuff man but I feel you some people just don't get it

 

That does look pretty bad. definitely try what was said above and then put some good stuff in it. You also may want the compression test done to be sure nothing worse is happening inside.

 

cotdamn!!!!!

 

No bueno! Sea foam maybe??

wow [/quote]

 

nice look

 

Have you looked at the engine recently since you used the seafoam. Does that stuff work? Is it even possible at this point to clean the engine to the point that all that gunk would be removed?

I'd probably unload it a this point. The resale and trade-in on that thing should still be very good.
