I found this and purchased a set along with new valve cover gaskets. Going to swap mine out next week. Beats paying 500 bucks for unnecessary new valve covers.

IMO R&D should have installed on a few cars that post here a lot so we could get decent feedback... the fact that there is virtually no reviews (other than manufactures and one member) makes me skip it.
Since a couple of you are getting them - at least we'll have a couple more reviews - but it will be many months before you have enough miles to matter...

I'll take my chances with these and pocket $240. I think someone has had them on over 8K miles and so far so good; no leaks. Once I'll get them installed, I'll be checking for leaks every so often, but in opinion, it's a win win situation over getting stock covers for $400, which actually go bad between 30-60K miles.

I don't think they're molded to the cover since the dealership has you buying them seperately. I could be wrong. I'll keep you guys updated.

He' saying the seals/o-rings are molded to the valve cover... only r&d factory sells replacement seals and you have to drill out the OEM to replace with r&d's

clicking sound on cold startup
I have a 2005 G35 coupe
everytime i do a cold start for about 3 seckonds there is a clicking sound. Ive read some other posts and people have said its from metal shaving as well as plug 6 as you were showing. i have not checked it yet but could that be the same problem? and is it covered under powertran warranty?

man this suck so bad, i just brought my car in cus my cylinder 6 is flooded with oil and you know what, they said my power train expired 2 months ago... freaking A**!!!! so I guess anyone 05 and below powertrain have expired. 6 YEARS // 70,000 MILES. I'm only at 58,000 miles and I got denied!!! so how much does this fix cost and have anyone done a DIY for this?
