Coil Cover Rubber Seal

[KrazyKong]

I'm in the middle of a spark plug, and rocker cover gasket replacement. I noticed after taking out the coil cover, that the rubber lining on the edge was very hard. Parts of it have already broken off. Can I get a replacement seal for this? It was quite clean under the cover, and there wasn't much dirt or dust in there, so even despite the rubber being hard and brittle it was still keep stuff out. But now it's cracked into pieces of which I am missing that section.

also interested to know this

although there are a few cars out there getting around with the coil cover off completely, or those with the machined coilpack cover that has a design cut out of it

The seal on the coil pack cover from my old 33 got very dry and deteriorated over time as well. Was probably there to keep out moisture.

I ended up ripping the remainder of ithe seal off as it was peeling off very easily, and falling in around the coils whenever i removed the cover. vaccumed all that shit out, didnt need any of that falling in the chambers when changing plugs!

Having the coil pack cover without the seal is still better than not having a cover at all though. Will definitely keep out more dust and crap landing around your coils and plugs

Black gasket silicone, a steady hand and a smear of oil on one surface to stop your new "gasket" from sticking to the rocker cover. makes a perfect new seal it worked a treat on mine.

I managed to find all the little missing bits that fell of my cover. So in the absence of being able to find a direct replacement (havn't called Nissan yet), I might try and glue it back on. Then some black silicone underneath should do the trick. My coil cover was doing it's job despite the rubber being dried out and cracking as there wasn't much dust & dirt around the packs and plugs.

Called Nissan today about this seal and was quoted $175! Uhh ok. They don't sell the seal separetly so you have to buy the whole coil cover itself which explains the high price. Looking like silcone is going to be the best bet I guess. Will checkout Clark Rubber. Maybe they got something that would be close enough.

damn nissan and their ridiculous prices.

I wouldn't be surprised if as you said, clark rubber may have something suitable
