Hello!

Im doing some repairs on a G35 and the valve cover is leaking oil into the spark plug tube. I am wanting to rebuild the valve covers like what R&D Factory is doing, and I had read somewhere that they were using 2001 Altima or 2001 Maxima valve cover gaskets... or something like that. But now I cant find that post...

Can anyone confirm on the year and model that the gasket comes from?

 

u asking about the cover or the gasket?

they make those themselves

 

And you know this for a fact?

Because I read otherwise... n I wouldn't be suprised if they are oem nissan parts that they are labeling as their own product

 

I've looked into this pretty extensively. As far my research goes Nissan only sells the valve covers as a whole. There is a work around though. If you get a regular gasket that fits around the tube of the coil pack it plugs the gap and no more oil in to spark plug tube. If you do find something else that works let me know.

 

theyre only selling it for $60. is that too much for the seals?

 

Ahh yeah when the part is around $4 each retail from the dealer...

This might not be it, but I'm on the right track

I’ve taken one out of a valve cover before. Just FYI on your search. The outer wall of the cylinder shape though covered by rubber is metal and on the inner part wrapped around the inside of the conical is a spring. Good luck.

I figured out the fix!

Please refer to L-Fab thread for more information

 

Yea my mistake r&d factory does not make the seals. Also I don't recommend ordering from them as they will give u the run around n not answer/return pms, calls, n emails. They're not worth ordering from or chasing. L fab is a lot better n has way better communication .
