It's got less kms than your motor, so should by all accounts be in better condition. If you are doing that, put a little amount of copper seal around the plug Seals.

I think there is a rubber line outer seal to replace too, that sits in the cover? Scotty? Should only be a couple of bucks.

Yeh, the rocker gasket is around $25.

I don't like putting sealant around them, as a thin smear might fall off and partially block the oil pump or pickup (as there is nothing to hold the sealant in place). I try to minimise the use of silicone inside the engine for this reason.

Should tell nissan that... Whole thing is held together with sealant! :P

I never had an issue with it when I was changing sumps over. No sealant disappeared. As long as the instructions are followed, the stuff works well.

If you use tons of it, and clamp it down hard immediately, then your right, you're in for a bad time.

I will say it again for the deaf among us... There is nothing to hold the sealant in place, and nothing to clamp it.

As the tube is covered in oil the sealant won't stick, and there isn't another mating surface to hold it in place, hence why it will break off and float about the engine. It's a slightly different application to sealing the sump as there is a 20mm lip holding the silicone in place, plus you would be able to scrape it clean first and brake clean it.

I see what Scotty means.

The sealant wouldn't help. It's just a thin metal edge.

Yes, but Nissan still used a little sealant on the cover gasket, at least mine had some when I removed it. Someone should tell those engineers the theory & see what they think....

On sealing around the spark plug tube, totally agree - it's pointless. Better to syringe it out every so often than risk it.

It would have just been nice for them to just round off the spark plug tubes at the end to just a little flat surface, so it would seal better. But alas, I suppose the accountants got in their ear. Probably one of those will it last 3 years/100k kms things. Even the old honda I had (honda boi!) had a better mating surface.

How do you deal with no vtec? It must be so boring driving your s13.

Hahahahahah

My little shitbox didn't even have vtec! It was a uni student car.

I think it was before the whole vtec fan boi thing. The vtec models were pretty expensive in 2002, so kids couldn't afford them.

Nup, it was actually on the quarter mile it blew up.

The motor was suffering massive amount of Det, and was shedding the electrodes from spark plugs. One may have come off and rattled around, but it looks as if the det blew out the side of the piston rings too. You'll see more once you remove the piston and rod.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      My new to me M35 Stagea wagon

      By davemoto63 · Posted

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
