Polishing aluminum is pointless since it will eventually oxidize. I was going to chrome them if they worked.

REVIVE! for my research to help someone

Seems the Gasket from the QX4 works on the Z valve cover. Though one must do the baffle cut mod+ Gray RTV + QX4 Gasket. Lets see if this works.

I just replaced the spark plug tube seals on my friends z33 with the cut+rtv sealant method. I used a Felpro gasket set, part number# ES72481.

I convinced him to buy new valve covers because this method is very unreliable and isn't recommended.

I am surprised no one has started a group buy for an aftermarket upgrade to this problem!!
