Valve cover fitting falling out - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

QuickSpoolSR · 06-26-2012, 08:37 PM

The fitting circled in green just keeps falling out and causing my car not to idle properly. What is supposed to be holding it in? do i need a new valve cover or what do i do? sorry if this is a noob question i have been googling for about 45 minutes with no luck

try some hi temp silicone

QuickSpoolSR · 06-26-2012, 08:41 PM

just put it around the tube and shove it in and let it dry? what held it in there from the factory?

QuickSpoolSR · 06-26-2012, 09:30 PM

any other input or just try for the silicone?

How does that affect idle?
I have seen SR's running it open, with a breather on the crankcase vent.

its pressed in by factory, so just use a strong adhesive to hold it.

threebond works wonders. i use it on everything. its like $10 a tube but worth it for sure.

Doesn't affect idle at all, just to release crankcase pressure from blow by, i have a breather filter on my ka

If your running the VC nipple to the turbo intake pipe it creates a Vac leak
