Read this thread carefully, about the seals...this guy (Andrei) was banned from the site later.

he removed the baffle which he wasn't supposed to do from the looks of it

I remember that thread...but why we are re-reading it is the part I'm not too sure about

 

The andrei guy went aluminum LOL

So to sum this up if you want to use the the stock valve cover gaskets get a 17/8" hole saw and W0133-1641400 ishino seals. But don't pry off the retainer that holds in the old seals use the hole saw.

 

^howd u get those seals as being the seals needed for the vq?

is the baffle glued on? anyone attempted to take them apart with out breaking them?

 

Those are vq30 seals, I have the OEM ones and they don't fit. Are the ishinos dimensionally different? That part number interchanges with what I have.

 

I followed every link in this thread and a board member named andrei (i think that is how it is spelled seemed to know what ones matched)

 

Crap. Maybe I need to read all these posts again I was just about to go and buy a set from autozone and start doing my spark plugs. If that is not the right part number which one is?

 

^no one knows. its a mystery. i spent some time trying to figure it out. its definitely not from a toyota, nissan, or honda. my search wasnt that thorough but oh well.

 

After wasting half my day I came up with 2 part # 13276-31U1A and #13276-31U21 one of these has to be it. I went to the nissan dealership they didn't have any one of them in stock. I'm gonna keep researching it because I refuse to pay over $60 for just the seals, $170 for and exhange and rebuild or $300 bucks for valve covers when the only thing that is wrong with them is the seal. I don't care if anyone says "Hey its a luxury car" its still a nissan. I went through the same thing with the valve cover gaskets for my lincoln ls and those are 20x worse than these.

 

^did u try to find pics of them and compare to the seals sold by the vender?

 

The pics look just like the ones sold from the vender I just want to make sure they are the correct diameter

 

^post it up so we can see

 

Neither of those part numbers will work.
