Replacing Valve Cover Gasket

[jfck2000]

I need to replace the valve cover gasket or at least tighten the bolts on the valve cover on my 1995 Q. Has anyone done this or could anyone give me instructions on how to do this? I have done it before on a different car without any problems but this car seems to have alot more involved. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Or should I just take it to a dealer or mechanic? They want at least $800 at Infiniti dealer and $500 at mechanic. Thanks

I replied to your post, theres also some info on how to do it on Q45.org.....

its not that bad, but definitely a job you only want to do once every 60-100-120k

Look in my photos, I took some pictures and posted some descriptions there. Just click on one of my cars in my signature.

Replace, but do not over torque the valve cover bolts, or you will be very sorry.
