I need to replace my passengers side valve cover. What other gaskets are necessary. The shop manual says that I should replace both intake gaskets. Whats your opinion on this, are they re-useable?

Anything else I should know?

Thanks

 

Should be fine reusing them, not much money to replace though. It would be the lower and upper plenum since it should come off, throttle body if you take the throttle body off the upper plenum.

Oil the valve cover gasket before putting it on, rtv the front. Is it leaking from the spark plug hole?

 

i thought you had to buy new valve covers for these when the gasket is leaking

could be wrong though

 

That would suck! I found the gasket at the Infiniti dealer parts web site.

 

Spark plug seal is built into the valve covers. If it is leaking there a new vavle cover will be needed. Perimeter leaks would be the gasket.

 

ahhh ok, i knew there was something funny about it
