September 5, 20204 yr comment_605379 I used Nissan. Get the part number and your local dealership can get one overnight usually. Mine did. OrĀ buy online from Courtesy Nissan. Oh yeah, you'll need the 2 side seals also. Again, Nissan has those as well.

I do not care about price of the parts , I just want to do this once as you know what I mean . haha From all I read before rebuilding my motor, there's a lot of build threads on here tooĀ , it was suggested to buy as much Nissan as possible. I've built 2 and have zero leaks. The side seals are tricky to install the right way. They have grooves on one side and an angle on one end. Once you get that figured out my best advice was from @DiseazdĀ about inserting them with the cap half way down. It's a lot easier that way and when you get them set tighten the cap down snip the excess off and use some black oil resistant RTV on top of the cap when putting the pan on.Ā I couldn't find anything right off but here's the threads I read. Good luck, take your time and you'll be fine, no leaks. https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&ei=PRhVX7H0N8aW5gKuj6qICw&q=rear+main+seal+install+classiczcars.com&oq=rear+main+seal+install+classiczcars.com&gs_lcp=CgZwc3ktYWIQAzIFCAAQzQIyBQgAEM0CUMQ-WO59YIWYAWgAcAB4AIAB7gGIAdkQkgEGMTQuNi4xmAEAoAEBqgEHZ3dzLXdpesABAQ&sclient=psy-ab&ved=0ahUKEwjxhpuJg9XrAhVGi1kKHa6HCrEQ4dUDCA0&uact=5 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/64425-rear-main-seal-brand/#findComment-605408 Share on other sites More sharing options...
