For the past few months I've had my screws on my valve covers tighten down to keep the oil from leaking. Now that is not enough. I need to replace the seals/gasket. I noticed you have to take apart the intake manifold to take off the valve covers THANK YOU NISSAN!!! I am not about to do this myself because I am away at college and don't have the time and tools to do it. How much should I pay to have these fixed?

it takes 3-4 hours for most mechanics to do it, so expect to pay a couple hundred bucks.
you'll need throttle body gasket, upper intake manifold gasket, intake collector gasket, and both valve cover gaskets. about $60 in parts if I remember right.


your location says SE Tx... you still in the area? If you're near Houston, I'll be happy to do the work (for a fee of course, but WAY cheaper than a mechanic).
email me if you want.

I guess I should have mentioned I am in hell (AKA Oklahoma) right now.

LOL!
It's not that bad. I like it better than houston. I just moved here after 20 years in Tulsa. there's a bunch of rednecks up there, but people here are just generally stoopid- ASIDE from the weather.
