P0304 / Valve cover leak
Hi Guys,
The other day I noticed my 2003 g35 coupe engine shaking a lot and a weird noise. So i pull out my trusty OBD and discovered a Misfire on Cylinder #4. I am about to go outside and troubleshoot...
1) Coil Packs (can i use ignition coils from a 2008 g35 coupe? what about a 350z?)
2) Pull a plug and see if there is oil on it (if so, leaking valve cover)
If it is a leaking valve cover which I have read from other threads, I wanted to get a used one. Could i use a valve cover from a 350z? I found a cover from a 2004 and 2006 350z for $82. They look identical to what is on my G35.
**UPDATE | Got the 350z cover as the place i got it from said it's an exact match, FYI.
2004 350z valve cover (Driver side)
2006 350z valve cover (Driver side)

Basically almost everything is interchangeable from the 350z. The driver side valve cover is usually the one that leak. Wonder why it only misfiring on #4 you should look more into it.
