Replacing the spark plug well seals in the valve covers
#107
any updates on this?
I would be really interested in getting one of those damaged seals shipped to me. I am wondering if I can talk my friend who works for a large part supplier into rummaging through some seals in their warehouse and finding the right one.

Advance Auto sells the spark tube seals for about $25. Here's the part number enjoy
ES70691
Felpro makes them
Edit: Advance Auto F'd up those are the wrong seals. Back to square one R&D Factory is the only place to get them from and the price is now $120 for the kit.

I just did my driver's side yesterday. still have to do the pass side. didn't want to put it back together half done but its my only drivable car, currently, and I had plans for the evening.
Anyway, anyone who is interested in tackling this, I made a bushing to center the hole saw over the plug holes...it worked great!! pm me if you happen to be interested in this.

Look who I found on eBay. I don't have problems with my valve covers yet, but R+D is selling their kit on eBay.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/INFINTI-VQ35...81122379556%26
It says they are Vector Engineering Spark Plug Grommets.
This might look promising they make airplane parts: http://hamilton-wenham.patch.com/lis...-engineering-2
Think I made some progress

Nice find

That is a nice find $120 is better than what the dealership wants for the whole valve cover but a little too much for kit of gaskets that probably cost about $25. I was going to fix mine with this method I was pressed for time and then ended up using some red rtv. I also only had one seal that leaked. The amount that some people try to charge for parts and services on this car is ridiculous. I called a paint shop about getting my car painted he asked what car I owned I said it was a g35 then he quoted $4000. Then I called back and said I wanted to paint an acura tl and the price dropped by $1,000 he stated its because the g35 needed an extra process and the acura doesn't . I didn't know there was a three stage process for OB
