I may have a set to sell. Do you buy them at the price of the core?

Would feel better if you guys had a DIY video, changing the spark plugs was a hassle as is, let alone changing the entire covers. I'd see this as at least a 6 hour job?

Sorry for the delay guys.
Been having technical difficulties along with some members not shipping cores back.
We are diligently working on sourcing more valve cover cores so that we can get these rebuilt items out to you sooner.

Again, sorry for the delay

That's a good idea!
Next time we do a swap on a customer's car, I will make sure we do a video.
Install really isn't hard at all, but then again I am a mechanic and have worked on these cars for years.

Install is probably only 2 hours for a DIY'er...then however long it takes for the rtv to cure [please follow the manufactures instructions in regards to using rtv]

Because of how much R&D when into finding the correct OEM seals as well as the process for removing the old ones and installing the new ones, we're not offering just the seals and gaskets.

The gaskets and PCV valve can be purchased through any dealer though.

Also there is a certain process to removing the old gaskets and installing the new ones which can get pretty tricky if you don't have the right tooling.. for some reason Nissan designed our OEM valve covers in a way that doesn't make rebuilding them very easy.

Sounds good, we accept all credit cards and paypal so just let us know when you send them over and we can go ahead and order the parts needed for the rebuild
