Anyone know where I can order some valve cover studs from? One of mine broke off and needs to be replaced. I know enjuku has them but they take forever to ship. Frsport has them but I believe they sell all of the parts separately. Also some of them are stuck on, when i try to take them off they just keep spinning. Any advice on getting them off?

Nissan. The studs are identical to the FWD. The only different stud is the center stud. You'd have to order that from someone that can order off the Japanese catalog (ie WestCo).

Thanks, is there any particular year engine I should be getting these off of? And from what vehicle?

Sentra SE-R. I usually order from a '92 since that's the model year for my 240, but any year of Sentra that sported the 2.0 in the SE-R trim.

Ahh thank you, your a plethora of information. Any suggestions on how to get the stuck screws off? Some of them just keep spinning, maybe I should just try and pop those out with a screw driver or pliers.

i went to my hardware store got a stainless steel bolt and 3 nuts for it. cut the bolt to the length of the the stud and used the nuts as the spacer. it worked great. i also got a acorn nut for it. works fine.

Usually I unscrew stuck ones till they come out of the head. Then I use two wrenches to pop the nut loose from the stud.
