oil leak at head

[Jaystar]

hey all

i unfortunately have oil leaking from the back passenger corner of my head.

I am wondering if anyone has bought a vrs kit for the rb20det in brisbane from anyone besides nissan and repco and ontop of that was considering putting in a metal head gasket while i have the head off...and wondering where guys have got these from in the past what size and how much?

Also will be sending my head to the machine shop to be skimmed and have my valves reseated if ok...and am wondering what advice people have as to what else i should ask them to do while they have my head but knowing that i am on a tight budget.

Need help and parts urgently and so all advice and helping me get what i need would be muchly appreciated as at the moment am sorta without a car

thanx

i got the same prob with my cay. i got r33 gtst[rb25 det] im also in very tight bujet. but anyway im gonna machine the head and going to replace oem head gasket and arp studs. im gonna do every thing by my self except head machine.

probly u need to replace stem selas and grind or lap the valves for better seat. need to clean the every thing much as u can. if u gonna do ur one by ur self. dont rush eny thing. do it very slowlly take ur own time need very good patience. the u will acive the good results.

one more thing. if u can change timing belt tentoner, ideler water pubp exhaust manu gasket intake gasket etc. cheap way is buy a oem vsr kit

good luck. wish me the same. im gonna do my one this xmas time

Are you guys sure it's the head and not just the rocker cover?

Yep I had a leak out the back of the block and it was the rocker covers, maybe just have a closer look unless you were already planning to do the head work.
