THEN WHAT YOU DO IS GO BUY NEW ONES FROM NISSAN, AND THEN GO BACK THE NEXT DAY RETURN THE ONES YOU GOT WITH THE IMS AND TELL THEM YOU DIDNT NEED THEM AFTER ALL AND RETURN THEM. OOPS CAN I SAY THAT ONLINE......I JUST DIDOR BETTER YET ASK FOR 3 PACKS TO MAKE SURE THE ONES YOU HAVE ARE CORRECT AND THEN DO THE OL' BEAN UNDER WHICH OF THE 3 CUPS ROUTINE AND GIVE THEM BACK THE ONES YOU HAVE..
thanks for the good idea.

Copper RTV. It is good up to 700*F. Just don't go overboard like you are sealing up a diff cover. Torque to 8ft/lb or 96in/lb. If this does not work, then there may be a problem. If it does work, then it is a torque thing.
Side note thou, has any measured gasket grove depth yet on the IMS and the Plenum? There may be a problem if the IMS's depth is not the same or more then the Plenums.
^^^^dont think anyone has done the measurements except maybe the person who is researching the issue. but im still standing by bad batch of gaskets until further notice proves otherwise.(but i dont think that will happen)
c) can we please move this thread or close it as it's really just pointless to keep an on going thread with people speculating about it. it doesn't do anyone any good when people are just signing on, shooting off their mouths, and then having a whole bunch of other people just mimicing what that person said because it sounded like the right thing...seems like i'm really the only one here doing any legwork to find out why they failed, and others are just shooting from the hip online influencing other people that really don't know either way....
That is not the way to treat your customers when there is a problem. you sitting on your *** Flaming people when they have a legitement argument is not the way to take care of a situation like this. If you had not dodged the subject for this long and taken care of it in the first place, by sending new gaskets and giving the correct tq pressure, this problem would have been solved allready. it is your falt that these threads keep coming up. How about you dont blame it on your customers Eh??

Um I do have a question here. If the gaskets bought by Will for GB3 are found to be the issue then surely they would be covered by Nissan Warranty. So surely it would be a fairly easy job to send the stuffed items back to get a warranty replacement.Under normal circumstances if I by something for a company then its covered by manufacturers Warranty. Now if the part they sold you was from another company then its up to them to chase that up and claim warranty from them.
Now if the gaskets are stuffed then surely whatever dealers Will bought them from would have possibly found more customers being effected.
So if general concensis is that its cactus gaskets so why wouldnt it be a simle case of warranty return.

^^^^you Know Dubie Just Brought Up A Great Idea. Since You Havent Installed Yours Yet Why Dont You Intall It But Remove The Ones From The Plenum And Install Those In The Ims And The New Ims In The Plenum. If The One From The Plenum End Up Shredded Then Its A Ims Issue If Not Its Gaskets.

Doing it this way will eliminate the questions about if it is the IMS or the Gaskets.
If the gaskets are still shredded, then the IMS is the culpurate.
If the gaskets are fine in the IMS and not in the Plenum, then the gaskets are to blame.
This way we can all really see what the possible problem is and we can come up with a solution and move on.
