Description
Those
rebuilding
their
VQ40DE
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.

Reviews
Rated 5/5

This is an EXCELLENT gasket set from very high quality material. I've purchased others that are extremely thin and like paper until I found these. I maintain about 10 different Xterra's, Pathfinder's and Frontier's in the family, all with the VQ40 and have done about 6 timing repair jobs. Very glad someone else is producing these with such high quality material. HIGHLY recommend purchasing these if you're doing your timing chains.
