96 Sentra Spark Plug Tube Gasket Replacement GA16DE

[@josemiranda1241]

I know this video is old, but for whoever is watching now... He installed the seal backwards! The flat part goes towards the valve cover. The open part with the spring goes towards the engine. Use silicone around and around the spark plug tube.

Thanks for saving me the headache man. Car has 256k miles anyways

[@thetouchtonsoffroad3574]

Usually the spring goes towards the oil side yes. Not in this case however because it be very hard it instal. The oem one spring side is to valve cover

[@shahraimee]

​@@thetouchtonsoffroad3574the spring part go inside the valve cover?

[@ruhtra5602]

And make sure you also replace the "PCV valve" that (sometimes) causes the leak. I believe the PCV valve is about 2 inches away from his right hand at minute 0:16 of the video.

Good shit dawgy! I was so lost and felt like a dummy in front of the customer when I stood there not knowing what to do because new parts didn't seem right when I looked at the cover. So thanks.

[@SirFishouse]

yeah Vincent, no issues with the orilley part. it sits flush with everything and the rtv makes a good strong leak free seal.

[@gerardoornelas3143]

Hi there, I am from south TX, by the way thanks for your help, I was worried, didn't know how to change those tube seals, ones again I appreciate your mechanical support. By. See you then.

[@cappnzak]

Nice ,steady hand-work with the Dremel! Tidy job. Thanks for posting.

[@SirFishouse]

oh man i need to look around for that part number... it wasn't a big deal to do it myself, and i had the added benefit of getting it done same day. it is a bit of work expanding the hole though. overall, it ate up like 3 hours off and on

[@davidostring803]

Thank you for posting this video. It's what I needed to see.

[@vicentereynoso1570]

Im about to jump along and do this. So no issues due to the missing plastics????

[@jahpowerz]

is this the same for the Nissan qg model engines?

[@stinger4583]

Do you remember the torque value on the cover screws?

[@davidfishouse877]

It’s been a while, but I remember them being philips head screws. Just hand tighten. Nothing too crazy, but firm.

[@curemymind]

go to a junk yard and get a 91 valve cover and those are replicable... You'll spend a few bucks but in the end when you want to replace the seals it will be much better.

[@DPNP-ls7ro]

Mine is a primera AT15 engine which seals r not replaceable. Way to go smart NISSAN engineers.

[@thetouchtonsoffroad3574]

That’s what i figured i had to do. Thanks for the video

[@jonathancuitzillo]

Hi I have this problem in my car but mine is a nissan sentra 2000 1.8 , I was wondering if I have to do the same steps? or is more easier to remove the gaskets from my car since is a newer car?

[@SirFishouse]

ok i called up oriellys and they said the part number is VS50570R. I'LL go by after work to make sure that's the part. and yes, no leaks so far :)

[@elHefeJefe]

Also, could you send the link to the parts. I can't find the spark plug seals at oreillys.

[@elHefeJefe]

Just wondering if it worked out? Was it worth the effort to not pay the $150 for the whole cover?

[@nimalp100]

Grateful if you will please tell me whether the the Injector Nozzles for Nissan Sunny B15 - 1.5 cc engine and 1.6 cc engine are the same or different? Please also be kind enough to give me the correct number of the 1.5 cc engine Inject Nozzle Number. Tks.

[@kelseytanabe6498]

Whats the part number for the replacment gasket you cut? Every single step by step i found left out the most important info. Lmk asap! Need to find those new ring gaskets

[@SirFishouse]

Kelsey Tanabe sorry it too so long. i never saw your reply. it is ES70745 www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/FEL0/ES70745/02813.oap

[@guillermomejia593]

Ok so I have a 99 sentra gxe and oil in my spark plugs i already ordered the seal and basket would I need to do the same I'm having trouble finding information

[@davidfishouse877]

Hello Guillermo, yes, this will correct the issue along with a replacement valve cover gasket. You’re best option is to pay the extra money and get the replacement valve cover as a whole. This process was never intended for the part. I only did it because I was super low on funds.

[@vinnieagogo]

I actually used a Forstner bit 1 7/8 then reameded with the dremel bit to 49mm the holes were perfect. the Forstner cuts and lifts all the material perfectly including the fiberboard oil deflector.. just be careful how deep you go.

[@hermannnicholsson132]

SirFishouse, I'm a car mechanic and I've a Nissan sentra N16 in my workshop for a spark plug oil seal replacement....

[@gil33339]

ive done that before but still it leaks,what i did was to buy a used cover.

[@elHefeJefe]

No leaks so far?

[@clos039]

I'm in the same shitty situation. The part numbers would really come in handy.

[@natemorgan4665]

Can i use a knife, a very sharp one?

[@SirFishouse]

You can, but that’s some tough stuff. The original forum that showed me how to do this had said they used a box cutter or x-acto knife. Worst case scenario, if you break the baffle, you’re supposed to replace the valve cover anyway.

[@natemorgan4665]

Thanks for a quick response 👍

Thanks for the video man!

[@abidirshad3232]

Hi will you please tell me the seal number instead of part number I need seal number or seal dimensions

[@elHefeJefe]

If you wouldn't mind posting that I'd really appreciate it. I'm not finding it.

[@hermannnicholsson132]

thank u for posting this video

[@najihashim2223]

Thanks

[@TheFlorida701]

i would suggest to everyone that need to change valve covere gasket,just change the main gasket around the valve cover, dont touch gaskets around the tubes because they are not designed to be replaced ,if you try, you will notice they are plastic material with some kind of ring inside . So if you have leaky tubes best thing to do is find used valve cover or buy aftermarket part.

[@Sroor90010]

If you are a chicken to do this job then buy a New valve cover Nothing to loose on this trial and its simple modifocation and if it fail then you have to buy a New one cause your seal will leak but if its sucess you are the winner

[@lutchmankissoon4089]

Dear Sir/ madam I am from Trinidad West Indies and wish to inform u that I have successfully been able to changed these seals. I have been doing this since January 2018 and has been working quite successfully in vehicles without failure. I do change on all plastic covers. The seals are now replaceable and the covers don't ever has to be discarded. Wish I can send in a sample for you to have a look Thanks Lutchman Kissoon TRINIDAD WI What's up @868 272 6654 Or call the above and also8683897835.
