The hell w you all.. !

Im done w this forum anyways.. just sold my Z out of anger today and bought this...

see ya suckaz! Just wanted you all to know who was burning donuts and spitting glass at ya @ss!

IM off to Autozone for some wiper nozzle LEDs.. if anyone wants to roll out w me.. its cool.

 

jk dude.. its funny. CMOM! laugh.



Im just cranky in the morning. bro... your in NY.. at least you had a chance to wake up a little before you got called out. I didnt.. no bueno!

truce sir! I dont want any more NY enemies.. you may be a cousin of mine anyways... then we both look like d#cks.. again.

 

I would do a leak down test before I do something.

 

I agree, I did the leak test first before I did any spending. removed the plug let it drain out cleaned coil pack and plug and within two weeks I had oil up to the coil pack. check it out for yourself man

 

yeah im sure about my oil level, i have been monitoring it lately. since i do have new plugs in there. ill pull that one plug out in couple thousand to see whats going on in there. if theres oil in there. im going to do everything for that side. dont have the cash for both. and i have no problem pulling my plenum haha. thanks for all the help. i feel like an idiot for posting this in the HR section though. woops my bad haha

 

Just outa curiousity why would you buy a new VC when you can just re use your old one and replace the seal?

 

What is natural synthetic loss?

 

The seals around the spark plug wells in the factory valve cover are not replaceable, only the seal around the valve cover perimeter. Valve covers are sold by Nissan as a complete assembly.

 

That is weak sauce! Cant u just cut out the old gasket and slap some high temp RTV and call it a day???

I mean, cmon now...its a VC seal not a headgasket...

Or not necessarily "cut it out" but re-use it but seal it with RTV is what i meant to say...

I guess it may help to see what it looks like (to truely understand), i havent found a need to start tearing apart my HR just yet...I just got it not too long ago haha

 

I had oil on plug hole 2 and 3 when i replaced my plugs,it dose not look too bad though...hole 2 was very lite on oil and hole 3 little more but on the lite side i will say. Best Friend of mine that is a head Fabricator and knows and works on cars and motors all the time was with me when i did my plugs, He actually called out that it was the valve covers and says its no big deal. haha I trust him, as long as your plug holes arnt filled to the top with oil or oil is driping out you should be good.

 

Resurrection this for update


I saw this gasket set with what looks like the grommets for the coil tubes.
I have not gotten any responce from R&D about their grommets, though I read those are from a 00-'01 Maxima grommet will work, as well as a Ishino Spark Plug Seal (though the post say they run a bit too tight.


Here is a gasket set I found that seems (according to all my searching) to include the said grommets and fits the Z sparkplug tubes when you do the cutout mod to the oil baffle. per R&Ds instructions

Here is also the pics I took yesterday

Here is a diagram of the gaping of each plug in mm.
Stock is 1.1 and these were anywhere from 1.5mm - 2mm.

I re-gaped em to aprx 1.1-1.2 and the car runs so much better. ( ordering new plugs today since these are stupid worn. The weird part is this engine was changed by Nissan (by previous owner) at 50k, now I have 70k, how dafuq are these spark plugs this gaped out?
