Rocker Cover Gasket Question And Some Others

[Ericjayrol]

Hey guys,

I recently bought myself an R34 GT-T and it does needs a little work to get it back to prime condition.

I bought a 100,000km service kit as its just over and i was told it wasn't done.

Also i found out it needs the rocker cover gasket done as its leaking and the front seal is leaking aswell; don't ask me what front seal, i wasn't told, a mechanic looked it over for me. I assume front cam seal?

I've been looking around for purchasing the stuff needed for the rocker cover gasket replacement and i've come across a lot of different things and im getting a little confused.

firstly, there are two gaskets, i understand that.

Second, I came across this http://www.kudosmoto...-neo-p-215.html

I never knew there was a seal there, i thought thats what the gasket was for and then just used some kind of silicone to seal it.

Do i need to purchase this seal set for my rocker cover gasket change?

also, in the 100,000km kit it does have the water pump, so do I need to buy gasket maker for it, like this http://www.kudosmoto...stat-p-320.html

Another question, should i purchase this timing belt bearing stud and bolt set, or should I just use the bolts and studs that are already there? http://www.kudosmoto...dett-p-883.html

Last question, It's recommended on the website im searching for parts to buy an ancillary belt set such as this one http://www.kudosmoto...-neo-p-441.html

Should I also get those belts and do that?

Thanks for any help =)

Yeah, it'll be the cam seal, they come in the 100,000km service kit. You got the kid with new tensioner and idler yeah?

Yes, purchase this kit, the cam covers are sealed using rubber seals not gaskets, and the two little things are called half moons and go at the back of the head on each side.

also, in the 100,000km kit it does have the water pump, so do I need to buy gasket maker for it, like this http://www.kudosmoto...stat-p-320.html

You'll need liquid gasket maker, yes.

Another question, should i purchase this timing belt bearing stud and bolt set, or should I just use the bolts and studs that are already there? http://www.kudosmoto...dett-p-883.html

It's a good idea, but the stud is a pain in the arse to change and very easy to snap if you don't know what your doing. Hopefully your lower timing gear comes off easy as well when your mechanic does the service to access to oil seal on the pump.

Can't hurt to do them if they are old...

Thanks Kitto, that helps a lot =)

Yeah, the kit comes with idler and tensioner aswell.

nice info - agree with kitto...

although I need to ask does the Neo use the half moon seals? when i took off my cover there wasn't any there, so i just replaced the outer seals with the silicone and i have no problems or oil leaks
