Hey All,
Bought a 2005 g35 107k miles.

New valve cover - dealer parts
New Crank shaft sensor
Replaced sparks plugs, denso's
New belts
Trans flush, oil change - synthetic obvisouly
New K&N Air filter

Just had the Valve covers, both sides replaced yesterday. After driving about 50 miles now, the car starts to have a buring smell while idling at a light, not while driving. Are the belts and valve covers just warming up now? Should I detail the engine to wash off whatever may be hanging around?
No leaks before doing anything of this, besides valve covers.

Thanks

 

Sounds like spilled oil or trans Fluid

 

Its been about 5 days now and im still smelling it in the cabin when idling, not as strong. I let the car idle on the driveway for about 15 minutes, didnt see any smoke. Im guessing the parts just need to wear in , smells like plastic/oil burning.

 

Well after 5 any over spill would be long gone and if your oil levels don't indicate a leak. You might be right or the smell for what over spill there was might be trapped in the cabin filter..... But I'm no expert

 

Hhhmm ill have to check it tonight, I just replaced the cabin filter before doing the valve covers. I only notice the smell when Idling, As soon I start going it clears out.

GAH !

 

Give it another week

 

Smell is finally starting to go away, dont really smell it while idling. About 2 weeks now.

Thanks
