Thanks for the tutorial! Was easy to follow.

Had a leak on the car i just bought and i fixed it up.

Just to clarify, you need the following parts:

1 x 13270-58S01

1 x 13270-58S11

2 x 11051-58S00 (half moons)

I polished mine up and i reckon they came up pretty nice! Replaced my coil over cover too, it was scratched up pretty bad.

Check out the before and after pics below.

Very nice!

Something i need to do again too. Been on and off so many times getting yucky seepage.

Luckily theres a Nissan dealer in NZ that sells an entire gasket set, including the rubber bolt washers, E+I cover gasket and half moon seals for $60. Pretty good i reckon.

Thanks guys!

Pfcr33, sorry for the late reply, heres what you need to do:

- Take the cam cover off

- Use a fine wet and dry sandpaper and moisten with some kerosene, and then give it a good clean up with that

- After that, use a loose leaf buff to polish them. You want to use the white SS compound which is ideal for aluminum alloys.

I have a buff attached to a bench grinder. The white SS compound you can get at bunnings.

Takes a fair while to do, so patience is required.

Just so you know, they wont stay like that forever either, they will eventually fade.

If you need more info let me know and ill go into more detail if you need.

I might do a tutorial with pics once i get some free time.

Hey gents,

I did this a couple days ago with a brand new gasket kit and there is still seepage coming from the passenger side rocker cover on its low side?

Put a lil bit of extra silicone there too and its still leaking?

Everywhere else is good though.

Great DIY threads are Great!

Thanks Heaps!

Did this yesterday and replaced my dirty old 33 cam covers with Shinyish 34 covers.

Got all the seals on Ebay for cheap! ---->> http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/221170542626?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_4187wt_1139

Driven the car a couple of times since and no sign of leakage yet.

Hopefully that's my oil leak gone. :thumbsup:

Cheers! Yep very happy with the seals n service.

My old seals are so hard and squashed, it's no wonder they were leaking.

I'll have to do a good degrease soon.

I Love the breather fittings on the 34 covers compared to the 33s.

Job well done, very satisfying. :D

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
