Hey guys, im in the midst of changing the valve cover gaskets when i noticed the half moon part of the gaskets is a seperate piece. i had thrown away the old ones ages ago. (thinkin it was same desgin as sr20det {its all molded together})

So now i have new gaskets but missing half moons for the rear. any ideas? places that have them? any other nissans that have this same desgin so i can go to the local dealer?

kinda peeved my engine gasket kit didnt come with them.

Yeah I pulled mine to paint them and reused the old ones with some liquid gasket stuff you get at autozone. It's just black and has worked well on both my RB and B18b motors. Just put a liberal amount and let it dry before you run the motor. I think it takes 24 hours or so.

Never actually tried it but I think pulsar CA18DE ones will work, they are a sysilar type.
