How To Replace Nissan & Infiniti Spark Plug Tube Seals
You started the process of replacing the leaking valve cover gasket(s) on your Nissan or Infiniti. After pulling out the coil packs, you noticed there's oil on some of the coil packs. Where's the oil coming from? It's the spark plug tube seals! When the seals harden and lose their elasticity, oil will seep through the seals. So you go about looking for tube seal replacement kits and there's none to be found. Why? Because Nissan does not want you to replace them! The seals have a metal internal ring and are pressed into the valve cover. In addition, there's a baffle covering the seals where the baffle's spark plug tube hole diameter is smaller than the tube seal. There's no way to get them out using a seal removal tool! So what's the solution? Nissan's wants you, the owner, to buy a replacement (plastic) valve cover with new seals for a few hundred dollars. Well I found a way to get those seals out with a Dremel cut off tool and a pair of wire cutters. Then using tube seals for a 2010 Honda Civic (27mm internal diameter, 41mm external diameter), position two seals into each valve cover spark plug tube seal hole and secure in place with high temperature RTV. That's all it takes! The bottom seal of the 2 seals per hole solution is what fits around the spark plug tube. The top tube seal is used only as a spacer. You will have to wiggle the valve cover to get the bottom tube seal to fit over the spark plug tube. A blunt instrument, like a spoon, can be used to help press the seal over the tube.
