2005 nissan 350z.
it took me like 10 hours to replace my both valve covers. When i started her up with new rebuilt valve covers, the white smoke was coming out of the exhaust. Had tons of oil leak on the ground.
I took it apart, and made sure that the gaskets are sitting correctly. Put everything back on and started her up. White smoke wasn't coming out of the exhaust but i was still having a lot of oil leak on the ground.

I'm NOT going through this installation again. Can someone who is very experienced on replacing valve covers come to my garage and get it fixed? It must be fixed..I have all the tools necessary (garage is small though). I will pay you.

Located in irvine, ca. near 405 sand canyon.

Need to get the car going ASAP.

 

did you put rtv in the corners? the service manual tells you exactly how to do it.

 

i put little but tt seems that the gasket is not sitting properly
i looked through the gasket areas but couldnt really find oil leak... i mean its hard to check bc of limited area.
please someone come do it for me . ill pay

 

Also look into replacing your pcv valve...heard that helps with the smoke

 

I can come by and do it tomorrow for you. Is the plenum and everything still off the car?

when i purchased the rebuilt valve covers from L-fab, new pcv valve came with it.
