In this video we install a set of aluminum valve covers on a Nissan 350Z. We show you the key areas to focus on in order to get the factory valve covers out and the new ones in.
We install a set of Mitzone valve covers which are identical to the Concept Z versions. New gaskets were also used for the installation.

I did these 3 weeks ago and cars been running so much better as the previous ones were leaking from the rear side of the passenger valve cover.

The only tip I would say, is maybe use blue thread locker when putting the valve covers back on because mine became very loose within a month period of doing this

@AnthonyJ350 Год назад

Thanks for sharing!

@DAVORIMAGE Год назад

I noticed the valve seals (O-rings) for Driver side are bigger than the Psngr side. If taken out, you can easily get confused and mix up a incorrect seal install causing a future oil pool leak around the spark plug. The bigger seals have 4 small dots behind around the ring. Best to mark the seals with a silver sharpie.

@AnthonyJ350 Год назад

I see what you mean, the outside diameters are different. I wonder why they do that. Good call

@angelmartinez6637 Год назад

how long after the original install did you need to replace the o rings?

Hey Anthony love your videos! I also bought these and did them maybe about 3-4 months back. I checked everything also did loctite on all the bolts on the inside, I'd watch the spark plug tubes makes sure they don't leak. Mine recently started, I'm wondering if it is just cheap seals, I'll probably end up taking them off and replacing the spark plug seals soon. I know Nissan makes OEM replacement spark plug seals, I think one of the Infiniti's with the same engine had aluminum valve covers where you can replace all the seals. I'll probably end up getting those seals.

@AnthonyJ350 Год назад

Thanks so much for sharing! That's a good idea, I'll try buying the OEM ones as well and put then in. I still need to install the set on my car

@AnthonyJ350 Год назад

I did put dielectric grease on these before we installed it to help the seal go over the spark plug tube easily.

@michaelenochs4033 Год назад

Hey, I want to replace my Valve Covers. Are the Concept Z products really that much better than Amazon? The valve covers I have on now are probably 3 years old and I'm seeing leaks in the front passenger and rear drivers. These were Amazon plastic style with the brass wire mounting inserts and the last time I worked on my car, i pulled one of those inserts out. It just has me questioning an upgrade. What is your experience with heat problems or anything I should know? 2003 G35 Coupe 6MT and I've replaced so much stuff already. I do like the idea of changing the spark plug tube seals.

Extra sealant on the corners of the valves, where its notorious for leaking at. TIP: If you still see white smoke or smell it inside the cabin. Check the lower exhaust manifolds (Headers) and wipe off any past oil residue around them since it gets hot and probably burning up the old oil leak problem you just solved.
