Good afternoon all. After discovering oil on one of my spark plugs, I'm trying to replace the spark plug tube seals/gaskets/grommets whatever you want to call them.

Okay so I know these seals are built into the valve cover. I just recently discovered the R&D Factory DIY kit containing a set of these seals along with OEM valve cover gaskets and OEM pvc valve gasket...

Only problem is, I get an error message when ordering, their contact# goes straight to voicemail and their voice mailbox is full. Can anyone here confirm that they are in fact out of business or what their deal is?

Does anyone here have a part# for just the seals? Or atleast know of a replacement seal that will actually fit and work? I know it's a project requiring a hole saw and plenty of time, I just really don't want to spend $250 replacing a $3 piece.

Someone mentioned part# 13276-31U10 as a replacement. These don't look promising as they are visibly different than the seals used in the R&D DIY guide. Thoughts?

Thanks everyone.

or get the maxima valve cover, crack em open and rip out the seal. then take the baffles off yours and put the new gaskets in.

 

don't order from R&d's generic site. nothing but run arounds with that company

the link to our post, it has all info you need to know .

 

I've heard lots of mention on using seals out of the Maxima cover, but don't pull the baffles off. Use a hole saw like the DIY's show.

I bought some altima valve covers from nissanpartsconnection.com removed the baffles and carefully pulled the new seals out then used the holesaw technique to reinstall them. I havnt had it leak since and cost only a fraction of what you would normally pay. Heres a link to the thread I made: https://my350z.com/forum/maintenance...ransplant.html

 

idk rnd sells jus the seals for $60.kinda comes out the same as buying Altima covers lol

 

yes you can do that but Nissan is using the same compound so it will end up with same thing when time go's by, we use different compound on our grommets.
