Here is a DIY Instructions on how to replace the OEM seals on your Nissan VQ engine.
1- THIS IS A SIMPLE HOLE SAW (SIZE 1 7/8 INCH) THAT YOU CAN BUY FROM MOST HARDWARE STORE. WE GOT OURS FROM ACE HARDWARE AND IT WAS $7-11
2- THIS IS HOW YOUR VALVE COVER LOOKS WHEN YOU TAKE IT OFF OF YOUR ENGINE
NOTE PICTURE SHOWN MOST LEFT SPARK PLUG HOLE DRILLED.
3- WARNING “PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE BAFFLE PLATE” WARNING
4- POSITION THE HOLE-SAW CONCENTRIC TO SPARKPLUG HOLE AND DRILL BAFFLE PLATE SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY.
5- YOU WILL ONLY NEED TO DRILL JUST ENOUGH TO DRILL THROUGH THE BAFFLE PLATE (WE CLEANED UP ALL THE DEBRIS TO SHOW YOU CLEAR PICTURE
DRILL ALL 6 POSITIONS AND CLEAN OFF DEBRIS WHEN DONE.
6- NOW YOU WILL BE ABLE TO POP OUT THE OLD O-RING GROMMET OUT OF THE VALVE COVER. PLEASE REPEAT 6 TIMES.
7- THIS IS WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE WITH THE O-RING GROMMET OUT
8- USE BLACK RTV SILICONE ON TOP SIDE OF THE NEW O-RING GROMMET (WE USED CLEAR ON OUR DEMO PICTURE SO YOU CAN SEE BETTER)
9- PLACE THE NEW O-RING GASKET IN TO THE HOLE. NOW YOU ARE READY TO RE-INSTALL YOUR VALVE COVER GASKET TO YOUR ENGINE.

hello,
just replaced my plugs today and i had oil in my spark plug tubes but only on one side. i only have 27,000 miles...what a damn shame but my warranty has expired since mine is an 04'. can you guys help? would like to do this myself so hook me up with everything i will need for this repair - all seals related to this issue. i am thinking about doing both sides anyways...lmk.
thanks

I found out what part number the seals are. They are from a 2000 Maxima. http://www.courtesyparts.com/kb_search_result.php?keywords=[13276]+\%28a33b&cPath=1956_1957_1958_1962
Cant be charging people $60 just like that for a part they didn't make. It's ridiculous.
