I also need to replace the valve cover gasket on a K12 1.2 2005 (CR12DE). And as 747_727, I can see sealant coming out between the cam and the head.
Does anyone know if this engine was assembled just with sealant, but supports a gasket? It would be good too know in advance
(or maybe it was assembled with a gasket plus bit of sealant, who knows)
thanks
Should be easy enough to find the difference with the number plate though unless it’s an engine swap?I've noticed with K11 imports they don't always list the differences.
i.e although they share the same 1.3 engine, the cam covers are different- not sure if that means they use different gaskets or not though.
Doesn't work like that with imports mate, many don't come up on any databases and that includes main dealer.
In fact, a part from a few, every car I've ever owned has been an import and I'm pretty sure only my GTO came up correctly, most aren't even model specific- this is just called a "Nissan" on the logbook, I had to explain to my insurers what a Cube even was...
