L18e inlet manifold gasket

Post by Lang Inder »

as per title, cockrams has got one comming for me but not untill at least the 30th, would like to get my daily back on the road, if anyone has a semi good second hand one just to get it going untill the new one arrives that would be great. also if someone had some extractors for L4 i would be pretty keen on them.

What's the difference between an L18 & L18E one other than injector notches?

yea the injector notches in ports but also l18 has 2 bolts at the top of the inlet manifold where as l18e only has one, l18e also has a couple of sealing rings for water jackets in it. Also l18 gasket is $20 where as l18e is more like $90 all up haha, i'll try post some pics later

I already got one, didn't i PM you the part number?. I could do a loan/swap with mine if your happy to pay the postage etc. (im in northland)
Cockrams can get them but the only option is ex japan and genuine Nissan, thats where i got mine from way around $80 i think was awhile ago now. I almost brought 2 cos i new Dan would need one sometime in the near future.
