 Installed VVVT Solenoid. Possibly some changes, but the clanging remains. It might even be not quite as good as the original solenoid when applying 12V or 14V.

+==== Intake Cam Gear O-Ring ====
+There are 3 o-rings on a "snout" which plugs into the back of the Intake Camshaft Gear. They are hard to find.

+Initially I thought that these o-rings were too loose, but I didn't think about the fact that the o-rings slide back and forth on their **inside** diameters. The outside diameter just seem to match the inside of the intake camshaft gear.
+{{:robert:intakecamshaftgearo-rings.jpg|Photo from YouTube'r (not our engine)}}
+Notice that the o-rings have a diagonal cut in them.
+This video shows the o-rings, although the motor is a slightly different model.: https://youtu.be/C0O-5mF8g2k?si=sNBoYgzTK8C6izC0&t=281

+===== Transmission Fluid Leak =====
+Altima had terrible clunking and poor transmission performance. Checked CVT Automatic transmission fluid, it was mostly gone from dipstick.
+Discovered pin hole in transmission cooler rubber hose, fluid had been slowly leaking out of it. Replaced for $4.51.
+===== Brakes =====
+Changed front pads, and driver-side rotor.
+[12/26/2025]
+===== Oil Change =====
+This is the first change since the installation of the new engine.
+Oil change (not filter) 146,463. 5W 30 O'Reilly Oil.
+===== Transfer to Dan =====
+Transferred this vehicle to my ownership. Robert gave it to me as a gift, and I processed this on Oct 20, 2025.
+===== Replaced Power Steering Pipe =====
+This probably was damaged when installing the engine (during 2025)
