Nissan Sentra GA14 engine - Water in Engine Oil

My Nissan Sentra GA14 engine (1998 model - fuel injection) was newly repaired because of water in engine oil. The head gasket was replaced, new water pump was replaced, sealed well the timing chain cover, oil and filter were changed. The engine was tested for more than 2 hours including the road test. Checked the oil and water after the engine cooled down and everything is fine. Oil was not contaminated. A Road test was done again for 20 minutes. The following morning before starting the engine I checked again the oil and it was ok. But after using the car for a 10 minute trip, the oil becomes milky again. The engine is not overheating and it's running very smoothly. There's again water in engine oil. Please help me. My mechanic is also puzzled with this problem. Thank you.

I had the same problem with my sentra 160si! The water pump had a hall and the water was passing to oil pump creating water in oil. The hall was closed and the issue has been resolved. Good luck.

Was the 'mating' surface of the head and block cleaned of all old gasket/adhesive materials? was the head checked for 'warp-age'? if the head was warped by over-heating, that could allow the gasket to open up another water leak into the oil passages. could try having head re-torqued- that may tighten it up enough! i think 're-torquing' is usually recommended.
good luck!

If the engine has been flushed well including the radiator and you are still getting water in the oil. The culprit is the cylinder head or the block has a crack internally allowing water into the oil.

What gearbox fits a GA14 engine

The GA14 engine was used in a number of Nissan vehicles, including the Sentra and Pulsar. It is a 1.4 liter inline-four engine that was produced from 1985 to 2002.
As for the gearbox, it is likely that the GA14 engine was paired with a manual or automatic transmission, depending on the specific model and year of the vehicle. It is possible that the GA16 engine, which is a 1.6 liter inline-four engine, could also be paired with a manual or automatic transmission, depending on the vehicle in which it is used.
It is important to note that the specific gearbox that fits a particular engine will depend on the specific model and year of the vehicle, as well as the engine size and other factors. In order to determine the correct gearbox for a GA14 or GA16 engine, it would be necessary to consult the vehicle's manufacturer or a reputable mechanic.

My Nissan Sentra GA14. When I press the clutch pedal the idle rpm increasing. What will be the problem of my car?

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to Nissan Sentra.

No problem. When you depress the clutch, you remove the load from the engine to the cogs and shafts in the gearbox.

Engine - Clutch - Gearbox workings - Wheels

Just make sure that your oil levels are correct. In a manual car you can additives like Molyslip to the gearbox.

NEWLY OVERHAULED NISSAN SENTRA GAS ENGINE GA 13

Check the freeze plugs on the engine block.
These plugs/caps can leak when it is not sit perfectly.
Is the leak from tail pipe or from the engine area?
Start monitor for coolant and oil lose and report to the engine supplier.
Can you have a friend to do a drive along to see where the white smoke is coming from?

DO NOT rule out an incorrectly install head gasket set.

Heating problem. help please

Hi,

It would seem that your overheated engine has warped the cylinder head and compression/pressure from the combustion chamber is adding to the pressure of the water/cooling system hence the spitting out. To verify, pls check your oil dipstick and see if the oil has turned to brownish milky color. If yes, then it calls for an engine overhaul, if not possibly air pockets inside engine water jackets.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.
