Questions & Answers
I am glad to hear from you. According to the Fel Pro website, the ES72481 Spark Plug Tube set will fit a Nissan Altima with a 3.0L engine. Engines with 5L engines MUST have removable PCV valve baffles on the valve cover. It will be necessary to go to Nissan to obtain these seals if your valve covers do not feature removable baffles.
It would not be worth my time to waste it. The valve cover should be purchased separately for the same price as The seals on my old ones were damaged when I attempted to remove them. If you are having trouble with the cover, you may need to have it repaired. (I tried to fix a cover from a 2004 FX35 with 250k miles so maybe this is not the best example.) It wasn't until I purchased new that I was able to stop being frustrated.
As a Nissan Maxima owner, I knew it would work

I modified the valve cover to fit my Maxima, and it is an excellent product. To bore a hole around the old rubber piece, I used a 2 inch hole saw on a drill and did as described in the Astral video on YouTube. The 3/4 hole was too small, resulting in the aluminum plate on the valve cover being damaged. Then I used 2" and got an even better result. I sanded the area and wiped it down with brake cleaner after hosing it down. RTV Right stuff grey was applied afterwards and the tubes were pressed in place. My current experience has been wonderful - no leaks, complete fit, nothing but happy with the result.
Seals on the spark plug tubes are still fine, but the old seals must be removed with a hole saw to prevent the spark plug tubes from leaking. I mean it. Trying to remove the valve covers, I broke one badly. After removing the covers, I learned that they are cast into the valve covers. It is Nissan's design that the valve covers should be replaced as a unit when the spark plug tube seals fail. Thanks to the valve covers being so cheap for both OEM and aftermarket, both OEM and aftermarket can buy them. Honestly, it's not worth the trouble and effort to replace the tube seals if you need to replace valve cover gaskets on a Nissan VQ engine. Just buy the valve cover and gasket set as a kit instead.
Do not buy! They are not compatible with the G35/350Z VQ35DE, as they are both different in size and There is absolutely no way that they could fit! On the right, you can see the original seal, On the left of the pic below, you can see a Pro ES 72841.
After removing the cover, the plug seal wasn't the correct size. **By the time the order was placed, I had to order an emergency one day delivery for an $250 plus $8. There is a 75 percent tax on the purchase. It is an understatement to say that I am unhappy! I appreciate your kind words, The pro is. The error cost me $250 in income plus another $270 for part of it, so it had a total cost of In the picture, there is a round seal at the.
would not advise you to purchase the item, however you should double check (research) whether or not the gaskets on your car can be replaced. You must buy a brand new valve cover for the 350z DE engines! There is no way to replace these gaskets! Hopefully, this will save you time and money, but it is an expensive fix.
It is not available for use in a G35, so why is it associated with a G35?.
From what I have found out, valve covers cannot be ordered separately from seals. Throughout Nissan's entire truck and SUV line starting in 2003, this rule applies. $175 was the price I paid for valve covers for my vehicle. In the same way that Nissan and Ford do not release all of their data, both companies have comparable difficulties. The Nissan vehicle line may be good, but the data issue with the company stinks.
There is currently a functional)valve cover that came on most '05-'06 cars The Toyota Tacoma was replaced by the Nissan Pathfinder in 2009. If you require a new valve cover (about 45 dollars) that comes with spark plug gaskets already attached, as well as a new valve cover base gasket, you may purchase that.
