X-Trail T30 Rocker Cover / Valve Cover Replacement

Hi There,

changing my spark plugs, i found that oil was leaking from the valve cover into the spark-plug tubes. Taking off the whole valve cover, to my surpise I also found out there are no separate seals for the Spark plugs everything is integrated in the valve cover, so i will have to change the whole thing.

Unfortunately I can not find this part anywhere on the net. I live in the dominican republic, so buying it locally (in the U.S. i mean) is no option. Local dealers here are charging around 300 dollars, a rip off that I don't want to consider ..

Does anyone know where to find this cover an the net ?

Any help would be much appreciated !!


Cheers,

thanks, nice write-up ! i ended up doing something quite similar, but instead of using the national seals i found a shop that cuts them to any size you want. i used the old plastic ones as samples. glued them in with silicon, just to be sure. everything perfect !

You can touch up with RTV sealant, too!
