Nice job!
Hey, thanks!
My 07 Xterra has a leak in the valve cover gasket passenger side rear corner. Why do you think it leaked?
That passenger side rear corner valve cover gasket has always been a problem on mine. It’s much better now with a rare drip vs a prior flow. I’m not sure but I think I overtightened the bolts. Next time I will torque them properly.
He's gonna leek again ! Put silicon anywere or dont'put anymore !
It’s been good so far! We’ll see how long it lasts. 🙂
The spark plug boots arent servicable. That requires ordering all new covers... So good practice for next time. 8:33 "I dont want to do this again" 9:00 "did I mention I don't want to do this again?"

Indeed. When I did my timing chains, water pump etc a few years ago I threw on new valve covers and gaskets at the same time. Should last a long time. As long as I don’t over torque the bolts. 😬🤣
