scince locally, we got the 4 port CA18DET the gasket kits don;t come with all the correct gaskets etc. and the service at the local nissan parts distributor is piss poor, and the prices are good.

so i wanted to to order my oil pump and gasket overhaul kit form them as they have the CA18DE stuff lsited, just want to make sure AGAIN that the FWD CA18DE oil pump and gasket kit will work and that ya'll got the 8 port head etc..

also i see that the oil pan for the CA18DE for the FWD looks a little different, so i wanted to know if they will work as it looks like the capasity is bigger.. anyone ever compare the two??

thanks

also check out my new site http://www.bezman.com tell me what you think, i am going for the cartoon look.. later

well i've only seen the fsm pics but it looks waay thicker and doesn't go up to clear the crossmember like the rwd one does. so i'd say 99% sure it won't fit:D
