I have a 95 240sx KA24DE. I have checked forum after forum to see why they are different on some 240s. I am at my end I just need a valve cover gasket to fit my car. Can anyone help?I have tried to get a valve cover gasket from Napa, Autozone, and even the dealer and everyone has the same gasket set, and can't seem to get me the one I need. I have even ran the part numbers for the altima and xterra that come with the KA and none have the gasket I need. The following picture shows what you get from these places.

If its the same as an S13 KA valve cover, which it should be, its Fel Pro part number VS50385R. I can vouch for this being as I work at Orelly's and just put this gasket on my car a few weeks ago.

This might be dumb but I want to make sure. If the valve cover gasket is for a 93 or 94. That would tell me the head gasket would have to be, but what about the timing cover/oil pump? Thanks
