Maybe so. I didn't do a search.

I also didn't realize Andrei started threads for anything except relationship advice.

Edit: Just found a DIY thread by him for a Murano (), but there were just a lot of pictures and no explanation. Didn't even show or explain how he removed the old seals or put the new ones in.

I'm assuming once the holes have been drilled out, you can just pop in new o-rings whenever needed.

 

I dont think he ever got his to work...

These are different than what he did (but totally same concept).

 

I remember seeing a thread where he broke out the plastic under the seals so we could replace the gaskets. I know he got the new seals in there but I can't say he was 100% successful on the install or if it stopped the leak.

You might be correct.

I'd just guess here that drilling out would be the same as Andrei breaking out all the plastic. Maybe R&D found a way to drill out the plastic and reinstall it after the new seals are put in?

 

sorry everyone we will have more infor for how to do the kit by early next week. we will post it in here or we will give a link to see how to diy step by step .


Team R&D/ed

 

^A detailed DIY for this job would be awesome. I'm afraid to check my spark plugs. I know I will find some oil in the tubes...the question is how much.

 

So, I'm guessing we'll have intake gaskets to replace, too. Is that all? Or, will I find more parts that I have to replace when I decide to tackle this job? Also, where's the best (cheapest) place to get the intake gaskets?

 

R&D Factory, have you run out of covers? I've pm'd you twice regarding status of my complete kit order, but I haven't heard back from you. It's probably been a month already and I'm just curious what the situation is. My CC hasn't been charged, so I'm guessing nothing has shipped yet.
Please update me on this.

Thank you.

 

Anyone working at a dealership want to confirm if a Valve cover from a Maxima or Altima would fit on the G coupe? Since we're running the same motors?

An ebay search shows that those cover only cost $50 or so. Which seems to be a better deal since it's just FN plastic....

 

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.

SICK DIY thank you.

 

Way better than the Andrei method lol. Sick write up thanks.

 

Great write, seems pretty easy and straight forward to me.

 

Well, this DIY is definitely better but Andrei was pretty much the only member on here who essentially figured out what R&D was doing. I appreciate them both!

 

website still isn't working. Also, I asked before but didn't get a response...what other gaskets will I have to replace? All intake gaskets, I assume. But, anyone with experience on the subject, please step in. I'm looking at them here. good place to get them from?

 

Where did you purchase your parts. Dealer is telling me the same. I'm looking to DIY
