Hey guys

Another one for tonight, as i was putting tape on my coil packs i noticed that my rocker cover screws were loose, some quite loose. Just wondering is this normal and also could this be why i have a slight oil seep?

Cheers once again

Hey guys

yep.. mine were loose to.. just over time the gasket wears out there for the screws become loose.. which alows the seep of oil.

just tighten em back up. and she should be all good

totally normal worked on several skylines, ones that need checking the most (if looking from front of car) the right hand side at the back (behind the turbo) as heat gets expelled here most shinking the gasket more, allowing for room and therefore bolts need tightening.. just my 2 cents..

yeah i noticed abit of oil on the side of the head, and though i might try tightening the bolts before i tryed something else..

also went over the enging and checked every nut and bolt to see it was ok,

i found one that was leaking oil under the ungine, i tightened it and the leak is no longer there.

im still new to turbo'd engines, and this is the first car im trying to look after (i trashed/thrashed every other one)

    • Thanks Pac!   I will reach out to them!
    • Yes, but 2 things of the top of my head, 1. Legalities of nitrous on a street car. 2. No chop chop. I fully understand that there's much cheaper ways to make power, and whilst a wet 50 shot is fairly cheap to install, bottle fills are expensive, and bottles always need to be refilled, and nitrous also has its own inherent issues with reliability, and tuning, from my experience of others using nitrous, it doesn't take alot to lunch a engine real quick if something goes slightly wrong when spraying, if I wanted a big chunk of additional powers, a spooly boy would make alot more sense, disregarding the additional engineering, supporting mods and other logistical issues of sticking a spooly boy on a car that came naturally aspirated from factory  In the end I'm not racing for sheep stations, and I don't really care if people make more power, or are faster than me, or spend less, or more than me, the only thing the car needs to do is drive around and make me smile, which it is doing now Really, I just want a shiny new intake to look at when I'm cleaning the engine bay, and of course, some more induction doorts, and maybe even that 5kw for that elusive 200hp cherry on top that I might get If the FAB9 intake plenum, TB and air filter box thing doesn't eventuate for whatever reason, Plasmaman do one, not as fancy looking, and a fair chunk of more cash is required when including the TB and other bits and pieces that are required to install it, but, it is another option that is available to me if FAB9 one does fall down (but I really, really.....really, want the FAB9 one though) TL;DR. You want what you want
    • Been so long since I have been here,seeing SDU is dead. I had that problem on my gtr in 2006 but luckily there was no engine damage,it was inspected by Hytech Engines,race bearings and extended crank collar put in and that was about it. Hopefully yours is sorted now.
    • Would it not be cheaper to just spray nitrous?
