Urgent help! Valve cover seals and spark plug tube seals
I recently purchased a good condition 2006 G35 Coupe with 134k with a couple other mods.
the only thing I need fixed ASAP because the car needs it done to get power back up and running, the previous owner told me it was leaking oil from the valve cover gasket seals and the spark plug tube seals, I found the seals for the valve covers but sadly not for the spark plug seals.
He purchased an aftermarket seals but they were defective and the car is leaking oil like a bitch.
i need a good brand that won’t **** me over or OEM seals, if somebody can direct me to some good brand or OEM seals please let me know ASAP, my mechanic is leaving out of town soon and he’s willing of doing the job for free.
what I need : Valve Cover Gasket Seals and Spark Tube Plug seals, I don’t care if I need to buy the whole valve cover but please link me soon or a link to get this fixed soon!

OK
I think the valve cover seals can be replaced; however, the plug seals are integrated into the valve covers.
There are kits and DIYs on youtube to drill them out and modify them to be serviceable.
You can also get new complete covers from amazon or ebay..OBX may be the name of one..
I would buy some cheap ones and get the car running, then modify the OEMS for the future.

The way to go.......... https://www.z1motorsports.com/cylind...ge-p-7167.html To bad you missed the black Friday sale.. they had them for 325 or 330 or something like that. Just did mine in Sept. It's a bitch to do just because you are ripping your engine down. Clean your MAF sensor and things while you have everything apart. Its not a project you do in an afternoon, not your first time around anyway. Watch the youtube video of the brothers doing it. They have a good video. You need the swivel 10mm socket to get the back rear bolts out. It's a bitch but very doable. Good news, clean your maf sensor after, pop new plugs in while you have the coil packs off and you will be very pleased with the way the car runs when you are done. Maybe its also the new PCV valve as well but the car definitely got some of its pep back after I did this. Runs great.... no more oil smell either coming through the vents.
