hey all, so i kinda have my engine in bits (have no idea what im doing, fingers crossed that i'll be able to put it back together!!!!) where can i buy intake manifold gasket? should i use metal ones or those paper ones???? Also, rocket cover seals (left and right) where can i buy from????? Also a guide on prices would be great.... Thanks!!!!!
And be aware that you only get gaskets (neoprene, I think), for the intake cam covers; for the exhaust cam covers you use a tube of high temp sealant.
first up, Rocker cover gaskets, just so you know what your asking for. As Mikey said, you only get 2 gaskets, for the intake cam covers. the other ones use the best quality sealant you can get, i think the permatex grey is about as good as you can buy retail. available from supercheap. OEM dealer price here is 30 bucks each gasket so 60 there, never got a price on a plenum gasket but id say around 40 or 50
sweet thanks - i can't see a rocker cover gasket on conceptz site... can it be called something else? is it different to the plenum one?
not qutie called rocker covers - they're more commonly found on motorbikes. intake cam covers. do a search on concept z and you should find them. for the liquid gasket, go to any auto store like repco and ask for it. they have a few different types which are also good for o2's. just needs to be high temp.
Your best bet with coz is to email him if you can't find something on the website. I'm sure he can provide you with a complete "kit" for rebuilds.
You're right that its technically wrong, but Nissan actually list them as rocker cover gaskets, its written on the packet. weird
awesome will do!!!!!! thanks for the tips.... i'm sure ill be back shortly asking for more help Appreciate it....
i've had another look and found this kit; https://www533.ssldomain.com/concep..._Type=NIS300&UID=20090508232814121.209.181.94 thats all i need right? is that liquid seal good enough or should i go and get the other stuff thats been recommended?
Yeh that looks the goods. When I was working at Mazda we used "3 bond" as a sealant but I guess what rollin mentioned should do fine.
quick hi-jack here... i just took all 4 covers off the other day and all 4 had goo only and no actual gaskets
Hi Mates, The price of the rocker cover gaskets is nothing as compared to the labour. I'm not able to do the replacement myself and I heard that it's a big job to pull the engine apart. Anyone know the cost on labour to get it done neatly? Cheers.
Labour cost i would assume around 500-800 depends on whos doing ti and whats done. Its a plenum pull + the rest.
