Those rebuilding their VQ35DE have probably realized that it's impossible to get replacement gaskets for the oil gallery plates on the rear timing chain cover, as Nissan only ever sold these gaskets with the complete cover. Now, we're producing our own replacement gaskets for these parts!

Made from Syntheseal gasket material, these gaskets are designed specifically for sealing oils (as well as other fluids like fuel and water), with temperature tolerances up to 350°F (180°C). They fit perfectly and exceed specifications of Nissan's own paper gaskets. Recommended torque spec 10-12 ft-lbs.

Fits:

• Altima (2006-2012) L32
• Altima Coupe (2007-2013) CL32
• Altima (2013-2018) L33
• Maxima (2008-2014) A35
• Maxima (2014+) A36
• Murano (2007-2014) Z51
• Murano (2014+) Z52
• Pathfinder (2013-2016) R51
• Quest (2010-2017) E52
• JX35 (2012-2013) L50
• QX60 (2013-2016) L50

This gasket kit fits timing cover part numbers: 13500-JA10B, 13500-JA11B, 13500-JP00C
