Hey biatches !

My rocker cover gasket leak has finally gotten to the stage where it is leaking onto the manifold so I had better do something about it.

Question: Where can I got one from to suit RB20DET? Should I gen nissan or will another one suffice ?

Thanks. :)

yeah and u will probally be better off replacing both gaskets, meaning both rocker covers, cos if one is gone i'm sure the other is on its way too. dam i didn't think there were 40...

dude do it urself and save the cash, just disconnect all that top L bend inlet crap, undo all those screws/bolts and pop the thing off. clean it up, put new gaskets in the groove that it sits in and put all back together. There is a particular order to put those bolts back in to ensure its evenly done up, was in the skyline workshop manual if remember correctly.

Hopefully these 2 images make sense. Its of my VIN of when my car used to be a RB20DE, and i'm sure its the same with RB20DET.

PS: Just found my reciept, and confirming i only needed 20 rubber washers.

gaskets were 29.57 each and washers 42.80 all up plus 10.19 tax coming to 112.15 in total from garry rogers nissan in glen waverley. Also those part numbers mentioned on that FAST screenshot are same with on the reciept.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
