Oil Gallery Gaskets

[Erni902]

Evening guys,

 

Looking at replacing my timing chain and thinking I may do the oil gallery gaskets aswell whilst everything is off. Now the only issue I'm having is that I have 2004 DE Zed. The only gaskets I can find are specifically for the HR motor. Are the 2 sets of gaskets the same between DE and HR motors and if not then does someone know where I can get the DE gaskets from in the UK? Even the H-Dev website links to the HR gaskets regardless of how you navigate to them.

 

I have conducted searches both on here and via google but cant find a definitive answer.

 

If they are the same then I can easily get hold of them at a very good price.

 

Thanks in advance.

Abbey have the DE and HR up-rated Gally gaskets on the shelf.

 

If you get stuck give me a shout as I have a set of up-rated DE gaskets in stock.

 

Alex.,

Cheers Alex, so I assume they are different then. Could you PM me a price for a set delivered please?

[ZMANALEX]

DE and HR are different Rikki.

 

i only have the one DE set in stock which I prefer to keep, however if Abbey can not help then let me know.

 

Can I ask why you are considering swopping out the gally gaskets as they do not have the same issues as the HR ?

 

However if you are swopping out the chains then no harm in fitting the up-rated DE gaskets when you are in there.

 

Also remember and fit genuine NIssan chain stuff and not the chocolate version.

 

Alex.

Ok mate no dramas.

 

Only considering it as Ive seen the posts etc about the failed ones. After searching through threads the only thing I could make out were that all VQ's whether 35 or 37 were prone to the old gaskets failing on pre 2012 models so thats the only reason I thought about it to be honest. Couldn't really see a clear divide between the DE and the HR but if they aren't prone to going on the DE then I might leave it.

 

Yes I have spoken to the Stealers round the corner and awaiting confirmation of price etc on the genuine chain so should be ordering tomorrow.

[ZMANALEX]

Make sure that you get the tensioners as well and also the upgraded chain slippers and the crank sprocket. etc.

 

The complete Nissan kit will come in just South of a grand. Sorry

Nissan quoted me £2200 for the full timing chain works...

[Erni902]

Yes its not going to be a cheap fix but hopefully as I will be changing everything once its done its done

[ZMANALEX]

Nissan quoted me £2200 for the full timing chain works...

 

That must include a crazy amount of labour, as already quoted parts will just be just South of a grand.

[Olly350z]

Over 12 hours apparently... Ill be getting mine done at Abbey at some point...

[Erni902]

So thats circa £100 per hour labour?!

[Mark@Abbey m/s]

We are £81-60 inc vat an hour labour rate.

 

We have been seeing DE motors having the same issue as the HR with regards oil gallery gaskets failing.

 

Currently waiting for new delivery on oil gallery gaskets. Should be back in stock later this week.

 

Thanks

Im half sceptical about my gallery gaskets as we spoke about a fair while ago Mark. Can anyone tell me what oil pressures should be for an 04 DE?
